Mounting
Mount the FX30E/FX60E in a location that allows
clearance for wiring, servicing, and module removal.
Follow these recommendations and precautions when
mounting and installing the unit.
• Use this controller for indoor use only. Do not expose
the unit to ambient conditions outside the range of 0
to 50ºC (32 to 122ºF) and relative humidity outside
the range of noncondensing 5 to 95% (Pollution
Degree 3).
• Supply voltage requirements are as follows:
Allowable voltage fluctuation to -15%, +10%,
Temporary overvoltages +/- 15%
-
- Transient overvoltages: Overvoltage Category 2
• For a controller mounted inside an enclosure, ensure
that the enclosure is designed to keep the unit within
its required operating range (considering a 20-watt
dissipation by the controller). This enclosure is
especially important if the controller is mounted inside
an enclosure with other heat producing equipment.
• Do not mount the unit:
in an area where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, or explosive vapors are present
-
- where vibration or shock is likely to occur
- in a location subject to electrical noise. This
includes the proximity of large electrical
contactors, electrical machinery, welding
equipment, variable frequency drives, and spark
igniters.
Physical Mounting
The following information applies to the physical mounting
of the FX30E/FX60E.
• You do not need to remove the cover before
mounting.
• Mount the FX30E/FX60E in any orientation.
• Mount the unit on a 35-mm wide DIN rail
(recommended). The FX30E/FX60E unit base and
its accessories have molded DIN rail slots and locking
clips. Mounting these components on a DIN rail
ensures accurate alignment of connectors between
all modules.
• If DIN rail mounting is impractical, use screws in
mounting tabs on the FX30E/FX60E and in any
end-connected accessory (power module, NDIO
module). See Figure 2 for tab dimensions.
DIN Rail Mounting Instructions
1. Securely install the DIN rail using at least two screws
near both ends of the rail.
2. Position the FX30E/FX60E on the rail, then tilt it to
hook the DIN rail tabs over one edge of the DIN rail
(Figure 3).
3. Use a screwdriver to pry down the plastic locking clip,
and push the FX30E/FX60E down and in, which
forces the locking clip to snap over the edge of the
DIN rail.
4. Mount the accessory modules (NDIO modules and
power module) onto the DIN rail in the same manner
(Figure 5). See Table 1 for quantities allowed.
5. Slide the accessory along the DIN rail to connect its
20-position plug into the FX30E/FX60E.
6. Repeat these instructions for all accessories, until all
are mounted on the DIN rail and firmly connected to
each other. For an example, see Figure 4.
To keep the final assembly together, secure the
assembly at both ends with DIN rail end-clips. This
action also prevents the assembly from sliding on the
DIN rail. See Figure 4.
