polarity can cause permanent damage to the unit and void the warranty.

Hazardous Location Installation Requirements

1. WARNING: Explosion hazard – Do not replace the device unless power has been switched off or the

area is known to be non-hazardous.

2. WARNING: Explosion hazard. Do not disconnect while the circuit is live or unless the area is known

to be non-hazardous.

3. WARNING: Install only in accordance with Local & National Codes of Authorities Having

Jurisdiction.

4. WARNING: Explosion Hazard - Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I,

Division 2.

(Revised 2010-11-15) page 5 of 30

Contact your carrier if any items are damaged.

Installation

Read the following warning before beginning the installation:

WARNING

Never install or work on electrical equipment or cabling during periods of lightning activity. Never connect
or disconnect power when hazardous gasses are present.

Disconnect the power cable before removing any enclosure panel.
Do not operate the unit with any covers removed

To mount the unit to the 35mm DIN rail,
place top edge of the brackets on the back of the
unit against the DIN rail at a 45° upward angle.
Lower the bottom of the unit until it snaps into
place on each bracket.

To remove the unit from the 35mm DIN rail, typically

it is possible to remove the unit by using your index and
middle fingers or use flat head screwdrivers placed into
each of the release clips at the bottom of the unit to push
down on each clip until they disengage the bottom of the
unit from the DIN rail. Lift the bottom of the unit up at
an approximate 45° upward angle to completely remove
the unit.

Most N-Tron™ products are

designed to be mounted on industry
standard 35mm DIN rail. However,
DIN rail mounting may not be
suitable for all applications. Our
Universal Rack Mount Kit (P/N:
URMK) may be used to mount the
102RAS to standard 19" racks as an
option.

DIN Rail Mounting

Install the unit on a standard 35mm DIN rail. Recess the unit to allow at least 3” of horizontal clearance for
cable bend radius.

Applying Power (Top View)

Remove Supplied #6 Phillips head grounding screw from top of unit.
Connect ground wire with lug (not supplied) and re-install the grounding screw securely.
Unscrew & Remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the Power Input Header
Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug (observing polarity).
Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the Power Input Header.
Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.22 Nm/0.162 Pound Foot.
Verify the Power LED stays ON (GREEN).

Note: Only 1 power supply must be connected to power for minimal operation. For redundant power
operation, V1 and V2 inputs must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. This device draws current
from both sources simultaneously. Use 16-28 gauge wire when connecting to the power supply.

Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to: N-Tron’s P/N NTPS-24-1.3, 24VDC at 1.3A
