7.3.19 inch rack mounting plates (Optional accessory) Your M4 inline control unit can be installed in a 19 inch rack by using the rack mounting plate kit available as an accessory: reference NAI0-5001. Installation instructions are available in Paragraph 8.2.3 19 inch rack installation.
CREATIVE TRACEABILITY 7.5.Machine fixing kit (compatible with Multi4 ranges) The marking head is supplied with a standard M4 inline fixing kit. Specific fixing kits exist if the machine is replaced or the installation updated. They allow an M4 inline machine to be installed in the place of a Multi4 machine while keeping the original machine in the same position (except the Multi 4 V1).
Multi 4 V1 machines only come with a single window size (110 x 50 mm) this fixing kit allows for the placement of an M4 inline 120. As the window size is slightly smaller than the original M4 inline 120 (120 x 55mm) the Y position shifts 5mm towards the front of the marking head, the X position remains unchanged.
