Mounting Dimensions

Unit = mm (inch)

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back
panel of the AWK-3121 when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-3121, make sure the
stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures
below.

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN

-Rail into

the slot just

below the stiff metal

spring.

STEP 2:
The DIN

-Rail attachment unit will

snap into place as shown below.

To remove the AWK-3121 from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and

2.

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the
AWK-3121 to a wall, as illustrated below.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum
DIN

-Rail attachment plate

from the AWK

-3121, and

then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown in the adjacent
diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the AWK

-3121 to a wall requires 4 screws.

Use the AWK

-3121 device, with wall mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of
the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less
than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the

shafts should be

less
than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the
right.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the
screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates
before it is screwed into the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed into the
wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large opening of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the AWK

-3121 downwards, as

indicated to the right. Tighten the
four screws for added stability.
