Mounting Dimensions for ML810 with metal brackets

Note

The Multilink ML810 is designed for use in a "factory floor" industrial environment. It is
available with an optional DIN-Rail bracket to mount it securely in a metal factory floor
enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit. The Multilink
ML810 requires one DIN-Rail bracket for secure mounting. This may be ordered as Model #
DIN-RAIL-ML810. See a ML810 viewed from the bottom, at the rear, with model DIN-RAIL-
ML810 in place on the unit.
The DIN Rail bracket is mounted to the bottom of the ML810 unit, as shown. Four threaded
holes are provided on the bottom of the ML810 for DIN-Rail mounting purposes. The
required four screws are included with the DIN-Rail bracket, and are no.4-40 x 9/32 PHIL.

To install the ML810 with the DIN-Rail bracket installed, hold the ML810 in the side vertical
position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the DIN-Rail. Position the
DIN bracket over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the bracket into holding position by
moving the bottom of the ML810 inwards to a vertical position. The DIN-Rail bracket is
heavy duty, and will hold the ML810 securely in position, even with cabling attached to the
unit.
To release the ML810 from the DIN-Rail mounting, simply lift up on the bottom of the unit,
disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the DIN rail. Once the bottom of the ML810 is rotated
out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged and the ML810 can be moved up and out, free of
the DIN-Rail mounting.
The DIN-Rail mounting bracket is optional and needs to be ordered as separate items, e.g
Model # DIN-RAIL-ML810.
Each Mangum ML810 is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to mount the
unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the ML810 vertically in one of
the two mounting positions available, as shown below, for proper cooling and long-life
reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit with space for air movement around the top
and the sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch.
The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the ML810 unit out from the panel or wall
behind it, creating a rear space of about 1/8 inch or 3mm. This allows air circulation and
cooling of the rear part of the case.
For best cooling of the ML810, attach the metal brackets to metal (rather than wood or
plastic). Attaching to metal helps conduct heat away from the ML810 through the metal
brackets and into the metal support structure.
