DIN-Rail Mounting

The Magnum 6K8 is designed for use in a "factory floor" industrial
environment. It is available with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely in a
metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the
unit. The Magnum 6K8 requires two DIN-Rail mounting clips or latches for secure
mounting, and these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-6K8. See a 6K8 viewed
from the rear, at right, with model DIN-RAIL-6K8 in place on the unit.
Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL. PAN w/star washer. The two heavy-duty
Din-Rail latches are designed as if that they can be manually accessed from the top when
the 6K8 is installed on a DIN Rail.
To install the 6K8 with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold the
6K8 in the vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the
DIN-Rail. Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches into
holding position by moving the bottom of
the 6K8 inwards to a vertical position. The
DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy
duty, and will hold the 6K8 securely in
position, even with cabling attached to the
unit.
To release the 6K8 from the DIN-
Rail mounting, press the top of the two
DIN-Rail latches down simultaneously to
release the 6K8 so that it can be
dismounted by pulling the bottom out.
