DPA1002 DIN-Rail Mounting Kit Instruction Manual

The mounting kit includes
(1) 6" length of DIN-rail,
(4) mounting clips, and this
instruction sheet. It contains
enough parts to mount 2
modules. Please read the
instructions thoroughly before
proceeding.

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Mounting the DIN-rail clips
to the module.

Place the expansion module
on a at surface with the bot­tom surface facing up. The
bottom surface can be identi-

ed as the surface closest

to the locking tab slot on the
modular connector (see pic­ture at right).

Locking Tab Slot

Expansion Module Example

DPA1002 DIN-Rail Mounting Kit Instruction Manual

Peel the protective layer off
of the adhesive tape on the
bottom of one of the mount­ing clips. With the hinge end
of the clip (see below) facing
the end of the module with the
communications connector,
align the clip along the long
(side) edge of the module and

Communications Module Example

centered lengthwise within the

at surface of the module.

Hinge End

Firmly press down on clip for
10 seconds. Repeat this pro­cedure on opposite side. Once
clips are properly installed, the
modules with clips mounted
should look similar to one or
both of the modules pictured
to the right. While the adhe­sive is initially quite strong, this

strength improves signicantly

over a period of approximately
12 hours.

Step 2

Mounting the DIN-rail to
your panel.

The modules are very light
(approx. 1½ oz each). As
such, the mounting hardware
does not need to be very
strong. We recommend two
#10 pan head screw (shown
to the right), but only because
it best accommodates the slots in the DIN-rail. Do consider
any strain your wiring might place on the module mount-

ing. In many cases, you may nd mounting the DIN-rail with

double-sided tape might be acceptable (not recommended
in areas of high vibration or temperatures outside the range
of 45 to 95°F). When choosing a location to mount the DIN­rail, keep in mind that wires will be entering both ends of the
modules (see picture shown

on the bottom right). Leave

enough space on either end of
module to allow for wire rout­ing. Otherwise undue stress
may be placed on the module’s
connectors and mounting clips.
The DIN-rail can be mounted
on any vertical or horizontal
mounting plane, providing wir­ing that is properly secured.

Step 3

Mounting modules to DIN­rail.

To mount modules to DIN­rail, rst locate the approxi­mate position you would like
to place the module on the
DIN-rail, then hook hinge end
of mounting clip to edge of
DIN-rail as shown to the right.

Then lower the opposite “latch
end” of the clip onto the rail.

Press down on the module
until the latch end snaps in
place.

A typical installation may
look like the photo to the
right once modules are
mounted to the DIN-rail.

Step 4

After mounting the expansion module(s), please refer to the
Instruction Manual for each module for proper wiring and use
instructions.
