2.4 DIN rail installation
For devices in the formats 132 and 116, special mounting elements for mounting on a DIN rail (35 mm,
according to DIN EN 60715) are available as accessories. This involves a base plate attached to the DIN
rail and a device holder (see depictions in the section "Dimensions").
Process:
1) Mount the base plate on the DIN rail from above and press down until it engages.
2) Insert the mounting frame (included in the scope of delivery of the device, see Panel mounting) into
the device holder from above (front).
3) Insert the device (without panel seal) into the device holder from the front and secure using the
mounting frame. In doing so, ensure sufficient attachment (see Panel mounting).
4) Carry out electrical connection.
To facilitate the connection, the device holder can be mounted in the base plate from above with its
underside positioned vertically (top connection terminals). It is also possible to mount the device
holder with its front positioned horizontally so that the connection terminals can be accessed from
the front. After connection, the device holder must be removed from this position!
5) Insert the device holder into the side recesses of the base plate with its rear detent lugs (format 132:
top and center recesses) and press down until it engages.
The following graphic shows the final insertion (A) of the device holder into the base plate as well as the
temporary mounting to facilitate the electrical connection, either vertically (B) or horizontally (C).
