MicroLogix™ 1200 IO 8 Ch Output Module 2.4.1 Minimum Spacing Maintain spacing from enclosure walls, wireways, adjacent equipment, etc. Allow 50.8 mm (2 in.) of space on all sides for adequate ventilation, as shown: Figure 2-1 Note: 1762 expansion I/O may be mounted horizontally only. During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (metal chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the module.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring Figure 2-2 Note: For environments with extreme vibration and shock concerns, use the panel mounting method described below, instead of DIN rail mounting. 2.4.3 Panel Mounting Use the dimensional template shown below to mount the module. The preferred mounting method is to use two M4 or #8 Pan Head screws per module.
MicroLogix™ 1200 IO 8 Ch Output Module Figure 2-4 Note: Use the pull loop on the connector to disconnect modules. Do not pull on the ribbon cable. EXPLOSION HAZARD In Class I, Division 2 applications, the bus connector must be fully seated and the bus connector cover must be snapped in Attention place.
