INSTALLATION

BMK6 - Open Base Mount

Before attaching the BMK6 to the panel or frame, it is recommended to wire and mount the unit to
ensure good electrical connections. The following steps outline the most common sequence for installing
a unit without an MLPS attached.

1. Install the grommet (provided in the accessory bag) in the hole in the base mount.

2. Assemble nut fastener and mounting screw onto both sides of the mounting clip. The

tip of the screw should not project from the hole in mounting clip.

3. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel.

Then install the unit through the opening in the front of the base mount

until the bezel flange makes contact.

4. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the

mounting clip is against the inside of the base mount. The

mounting clip has latching features which engage into

mating features on the unit’s housing.

Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding the

mounting clip into position.

5. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket

compression.

6. Connect the necessary wires from the grommet to the unit.

7. Mount the base mount enclosure to the panel or frame as application

requires. Four bolts and nuts are provided with the Base Mount Kit.

DESCRIPTION

The BMK6, BMK7 and BMK7A base mounts are designed for use with the
CUB4, CUB5, and DT8 units. The BMK7 is large enough to accommodate a
Micro-line Power Supply (MLPS) attached to a CUB4 or DT8. The BMK7A
will accommodate a Micro-line Power Supply (MLPS) attached to a CUB5.

The wires can either be brought through the panel on which the unit is
mounted, or through the hole(s) in the enclosure itself. Grommets are provided
to insert in the hole(s) on the base mount (where applicable) when wires are
routed through it. The grommets are in the accessory bag with each base mount
unit, along with four nuts and bolts for mounting.

The base mounts are constructed of steel with a textured black finish.

INSTALLATION

BMK7/BMK7A - Closed Base Mount

Before attaching the BMK7/BMK7A to the panel or frame, it is
recommended to wire and mount the unit to ensure good electrical
connections. The following steps outline the most common sequence for
installing a unit with an MLPS attached.

1. Install the grommets (provided in the accessory bag) in the holes

in the base mount.

2. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back

of the bezel.

3. Remove the common and V+ screw terminals

from the rear of the unit (save for later

use), and replace them with the

hex drive stand-offs with

round washers (supplied

with the MLPS).

4. Assemble nut fastener

and mounting screw

onto both sides of the

mounting clip. The tip

of the screw should not

project from the hole in

mounting clip.

5. Route the wires from

the grommets, through

the mounting clip, into

the rear of the base mount

and out the front.

6. Connect the wires necessary for the application to the unit.

7. Install the unit through the opening in the front of the base mount until the

bezel flange makes contact.

8. Slide the mounting clip over the rear of the unit until the mounting clip is

against the inside of the base mount. The mounting clip has latching

features which engage into mating features on the unit’s housing.

Note: It is necessary to hold the unit in place when sliding the mounting

clip into position.

9. Alternately tighten each screw to ensure uniform gasket compression.

10. Connect AC power to the terminal block of the MLPS.

Note: Make sure the AC selector switch is set to the appropriate position

before applying power to the unit.

11. Mount the MLPS and optional sensor wires needed to the stand-offs using
the screw terminal from the unit with the supplied square washers.

12. Mount the base mount enclosure to the panel or frame as application
requires. Four bolts and nuts are provided with the Base Mount Kit.
