Installation
3.1 Mounting the Meter
General
DIN-rail mounted
Wall mounted
Standard DIN-rail
This section describes different ways to mount the C13 meter. For some methods
of mounting, additional accessories are needed. For further information about accessories, refer to Main Catalog (2CMC481003C0201).
The C13 meters are intended to be mounted on a standard (DIN 50022) DIN-rail.
If this method of mounting is used no extra accessories are needed and the meter
is fastened on the rail by snapping the DIN-rail lock onto the rail.
The recommended way to mount the meter on a wall is to mount a separate DINrail on the wall and then mount the meter on the rail.
The following picture shows a standard DIN-rail.
