6 POINT I/O Input Module
Publication 1734-IN051D-EN-P - April 2004
Installing the Mounting Base
To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1. Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units
(adapter, power supply or existing module.
2. Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to
engage the adjacent module or adapter.
3. Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting
base will snap into place.
4. To remove the mounting base from the DIN rail, remove the module,
and use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the base locking screw to
a vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism. Then lift
straight up to remove.
Installing the I/O Module
The module can be installed before, or after base installation. Make sure that
the mounting base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the
mounting base. In addition, make sure the mounting base locking screw is
positioned horizontal referenced to the base.
ATTENTION
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis
ground. Use zinc plated, yellow chromated steel DIN rail
to assure proper grounding. Using other DIN rail
materials (e.g. aluminum, plastic, etc.) which can corrode,
oxidize or are poor conductors can result in improper or
intermittent platform grounding.
WARNING
When you insert or remove the module while
backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area
is nonhazardous before proceeding.
