INSTALLATION
2.2.4.2 Factory Shipment
Each Remote I/O Rack to be installed by the user is placed in protective material and packaged for shipment.
Accessories are packaged separately. If a Remote I/O Rack is ordered factory installed on an instrument
panel or mounted on a panel within an enclosure, the complete assembly is bolted to a pallet and wrapped for
protection for shipment.
2.2.4.3 Receipt of Shipment
All cartons should be inspected at the time of their delivery for possible external damage. Any visible
damage should be immediately recorded on the carrier's copy of the delivery slip.
Each carton should be carefully unpacked and its contents checked against the enclosed packing list. At the
same time, each item should be inspected for hidden damage that may or may not have been accompanied by
exterior carton damage.
If it is found that some items have been damaged or are missing, notify Siemens Moore immediately and
provide full details (see section 3.5 or 3.6). In addition, damages must be reported to the carrier with a
request for their on-site inspection of the damaged item and its shipping carton.
2.2.4.4 Equipment Handling and Storage
A Remote I/O Rack can be safely handled without undertaking special handling procedures; however, do not
subject it to excessive shock or vibration. The storage temperature and humidity parameters of section 6.2
must be met for rack storage.
2.3 Remote I/O Rack Mounting
The Remote I/O Rack is flanged for flush mounting on a flat surface such as a wall or instrument panel. The
rack can also be mounted on a flat panel inside a Siemens Moore MODULPAC enclosure, or on a flat panel
within a third-party enclosure. An example installation is shown in Figure 2-3.
To mechanically mount a Remote I/O Rack:
1. If applicable, install or locate the panel to which the Remote I/O Rack is to be mounted.
2. Locate the six screw slots on the Remote I/O Rack's mounting flanges.
3. Temporarily position the Remote I/O Rack at its intended mounting position on the flat mounting surface
(wall or instrument panel). After making sure the top of the rack is level, use a pencil to mark the
mounting surface at each screw slot location in the flange to prepare for drilling mounting holes. For rack
dimensions and mounting information, see Figure 2-2 and 2-3 respectively. After marking hole positions,
set the rack aside.
4. Drill holes in the flat mounting surface at each marked location. Where applicable, tap each drilled hole
