DL205 Installation and I/O Manual, Rev. B
The DL205 bases can also be secured to the cabinet by using mounting rails. You
should use rails that conform to DIN EN standard 50 022. Refer to our catalog for a
complete line of DIN rail and DINnectors, DIN rail mounted apparatus. These rails
are approximately 35mm high, with a depth of 7.5mm. If you mount the base on a rail,
you should also consider using end brackets on each end of the rail. The end bracket
helps keep the base from sliding horizontally along the rail. This helps minimize the
possibility of accidentally pulling the wiring loose.
If you examine the bottom of the base, you'll notice two small retaining clips. To
secure the base to a DIN rail, place the base onto the rail and gently push up on the
retaining clips. The clips lock the base onto the rail.
To remove the base, pull down on the retaining clips, lift up on the base slightly, and
pull it away from the rail.
