Chapter 2 Install the Controller
Mount the Controller on a Panel
Use two M4 or #8 pan head screws to mount the controller. Mounting screws
are required on many modules. Use this procedure to use the assembled
modules as a template for drilling holes in the panel.
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of
all module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Use the mounting screws to attach the modules to the panel.
7. Repeat steps 1
…6 for any remaining modules.
Mount the Controller on a DIN Rail
You can mount the Compact GuardLogix 5370 controller on the following
DIN rails:
• EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.)
• EN 50 022 - 35 x 15 mm (1.38 x 0.59 in.)
1. Before mounting the controller on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches
of the controller.
2. Press the DIN rail mounting area of the controller against the DIN rail.
The latches momentarily open and lock into place.
IMPORTANT
Due to module-mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these
procedures.
TIP When the module is panel-mounted, the grounding plate (where you
install the mounting screws) grounds the module.
TIP If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group
and put the others aside. This reduces remounting time when you are
drilling and tapping the next group of modules.
ATTENTION: This controller is grounded to chassis ground through the DIN
rail. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to help achieve proper
grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or
plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in
improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mo surface
approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
