2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting Orientation
The base of the FOX104 / FOX404 need to be mounted with the proper orientation. Proper orientation
helps to ensure a good connection when SmartStack Modules are installed. Up to four
Modules can be installed per FOX104 / FOX404. The FOX104 / FOX404 is installed inside
Caution: Do not instack more than four SmartStack Modules per OCS/RCS/FOX. Improper
operation or damage to the OCS/RCS/FOX and SmartStack Modules could result.

2.2 Mounting Instructions (Back Plane / DIN-Rail)
There are two ways to mount the FOX104 / FOX404 in a panel box. It can either be hard-mounted to the
back plane or mounted on a DIN-Rail strip.
a. Back Plane Mounting
1. Read the Installation Chapter in the hardware manual of the controller you are using prior
to
mounting the FOX104 / FOX404. Observe requirements for the panel layout design and
adequate clearances. A checklist is provided for your convenience in the hardware manual. (See
the Additional References section in this document.)
2. Drill holes. (Refer to Figure 2.)
Warning: Make sure the power and network connectors are removed from the FOX.
3 Install and tighten washers and nuts. Do not
over-tighten.
4. Connect the communications and power cables to the FOX104 / FOX404 ports using the
provided connectors.
5. Install up to four SmartStack Modules on the FOX104 / FOX404.

b. DIN-Rail Mounting
1. Read the Installation Chapter in the hardware manual of the controller you are using prior
to
mounting the FOX104 / FOX404. Observe requirements for the panel layout design and
adequate clearances. A checklist is provided for your convenience in the hardware manual. (See
the Additional References section in this document.)
2. Determine length of DIN-Rail needed. (Refer to Figure 2.)
3. Noting the proper location, attach two (2) DIN-Rail mounting clips (included with FOX unit) to the
DIN-Rail by hooking the clips over the top of the Rail and rocking down and snapping over the
bottom of the Rail. (Refer to Figure 3.)
4. Adjust clips as necessary by sliding them along the DIN-Rail to align with the holes in the tabs of
the FOX unit. Using the provided screws, mount the Fox unit to the clips. Tighten screws as
necessary to hold the unit securely. (Refer to Figure 3.)

2.4 Fiber Optic Cable Installation
Important considerations for installing the FOX include the following guidelines:
a. To ensure reliable communication between the FOX base and OCS/RCS module, high quality
cables need to be installed. See Table 2 for fiber cable part numbers.
b. The maximum fiber optic cable distance is 10 meters between drops.
c. During installment of the fiber optic cable, all direction changes need to adhere to a Minimum
Bend Radius of one inch (25.44mm).
