Chapter 1 - Introduction
Hint
This symbol is used when providing you with helpful user hints.
CAUTION
During operation, the device's surface will be heated up. Avoid
direct contact. When servicing, turn off the power supply and wait
until surface has cooled down.
Note
Do not open the housing of the FG-260. It does not contain any
parts that need to be maintained or repaired. In the event of a fault
or defect, remove the device and return it to the vendor. Opening
the device will void the warranty!
1.4Safety precautions
FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide7
Chapter 2 - Installation
Note
Make sure the FG-260 is mounted in a manner that the power
supply disconnecting device or interrupt facility can always be
reached easily.
Note
Depending on the installation position, the maximum ambient
operating temperature may differ. Refer to Technical Data for
detailed information.
Installation and inspection
Installation and inspection tasks are to be carried out by qualified
personnel only, i.e. personnel qualified according to TRBS 1203 or
similar! The definition of terms can be found in IEC 60079-17.

2.1.1Mounting and dismounting
8FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide
Chapter 2 - Installation
Note
Do not put stress on the system by bending or torsion.
Mounting
1.For mounting the FG-260 on a DIN rail (35 mm), attach the two upper
notches to the rail.
2.Press the device down towards the rail until it locks into place.
FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide9
Chapter 2 - Installation
Dismounting
To dismount the FG-260 from the DIN rail, slide a screw driver horizontally
underneath the housing into the locking bar, slide the bar downwards – without
tilting the screw driver - and fold the device upwards.

Note
As indicated in the connection diagram, the power can be applied
alternatively by a special DIN rail connector (Rail Power Supply).
For further information contact Enter value.
2.1.3Connecting the power supply
The supply voltage (18 VDC .... 32 VDC) is connected by a 3-pole terminal
block. The power supply is connected to the plug connector via flexible wires
with a cross section of 0.75 to 1.5 mm². The ground connection wire must have
a cross section of 1.5 mm².
