Installation
Observe the following guidelines when installing a field
controller:
• To minimize vibration and shock damage, transport the
controller in the original container.
• Verify that all parts shipped with the controller.
• Do not drop the controller or subject it to physical
shock.
Parts included
• One field Controller. (Power and SA bus terminal blocks
are removable)
• One installation instructions sheet.
Materials and special tools needed
• Three fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface
(M4 screws or #8 screws)
• One 23 cm (9.125 in.) or longer piece of 35 mm DIN rail
and appropriate hardware for DIN rail mount (only)
• Small straight-blade screwdriver for securing wires in
the terminal blocks
