Mounting the FP-20xx and Terminal Bases
You can mount the FieldPoint system either to a DIN rail or directly on
a panel. Panel mounting is generally the more secure option, but DIN rail
mounting might be more convenient for your application. The following
sections give instructions for both mounting methods.
Mounting the FP-20xx on a DIN Rail
The FP-20xx network module has a simple rail clip for reliable mounting
onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Follow these steps if you choose to mount
the module on a DIN rail:
1. Write down the serial number from the back of the FP-20xx before you
mount it.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked
position, as shown in the following figure.
3. Hook the lip on the rear of the FP-20xx onto the top of a 35 mm
DIN rail and press it down onto the DIN rail, as shown in the following
figure.
