2.3 Attaching the Modules
WARNING
To prevent electric shock and instrument breakdown, do not connect the power
supply to the main module when attaching modules.
Attachment Procedure
1. Check that the power supply is not connected to the main module.
2. Align the connector on the rear panel of the module to the connector at the desired
position of the base plate and insert the connector.
When the connectors are correctly connected, the guide pin on the rear panel of the
module is inserted into the guide hole on the base plate. In addition, the module is
secured to the base plate with the latch lever locking in place at the bottom section of
the base plate.
3. Fasten the attachment screw (M3) at one location at the top of the module.
To remove the module, loosen the attachment screw, pull down on the latch lever on the
rear panel of the module, and pull the module straight from the base plate.
