A top-hat rail conforming to standard EN 60715 (TH35-7.5) is required for mounting.
The following points must be taken into account:
•
The top-hat rail must exhibit a clean and good conductive surface.
•
The top-hat rail must be screwed to the conductive back wall of the control cabinet every 10 cm.
•
There must be a good conductive connection to ground for the control cabinet back (≥16 mm

).
The complete system including all individual modules is hung in the desired location on the top-hat rail with the
unlocking mechanisms open and locked in place by closing the unlocking mechanisms.
