Mount the Switch
You can mount the switch on one of the following:
• DIN rail
• Wall or panel
Mount the Switch on a DIN Rail
To mount the switch on a DIN rail, follow these steps.
1. Insert a sharp tool, such as a screwdriver, in the space next to the tab, push gently to release the catch, then turn the screwdriver to push the
tab out.
2. If you are using a heavy-duty 35 mm x 15 mm (1.38 in. x 0.59 in.) DIN rail, rotate all feet to the extended positions.
Otherwise, if you are using 35 mm x 7.5 mm (1.38 in. x 0.30 in.) DIN rail, rotate the feet to the recessed positions.
3. Position the rear panel of the switch directly in front of the DIN rail, making sure that the DIN rail fits in the space between the two latches.
4. Push the DIN rail latches in after the switch is over the DIN rail to secure the switch to the rail.
IMPORTANT The switch must be mounted in an upright orientation, as shown in these instructions. Alternative mounting orientations are not supported.
