equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring
method that complies with the governing electrical codes.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis
ground. Use zinc-plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper
grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or
