Mounting the FP-20xx on a DIN Rail

FP-2000/2010/2015 User Manual
You can mount the FieldPoint system either to a DIN rail or directly on
a panel. Panel mounting is generally the more secure option, but DIN rail
mounting might be more convenient for your application. The following
sections give instructions for both mounting methods.
The FP-20xx network module has a simple rail clip for reliable mounting
onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Follow these steps if you choose to mount
the module on a DIN rail:
1. Write down the serial number from the back of the FP-20xx before you
mount it.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked
position, as shown in the following figure.

3. Hook the lip on the rear of the FP-20xx onto the top of a 35 mm
DIN rail and press it down onto the DIN rail, as shown in the following
figure.
