Mounting the profile rail
1. When you mount the profile rails, allow sufficient space for mounting modules
and heat elimination (at least 40 mm above and below the modules. See the
figure below).
2. Mark up the mounting holes on the mounting surface. Drill the holes to a
diameter of 6.5
+0,2
mm.
3. Screw on the profile rail (M6 screws).
Note
Take care to create a low-impedance connection between the profile rail and a
mounting surface which is a grounded metal plate or equipment mounting plate. In
the case of varnished or anodized metals, for instance, use a suitable contacting
agent or contact washers.
