Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
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 in
the following illustration.
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back
panel of IE-SW-PL18M when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to IE-SW-PL18M, make sure the stiff
metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown by the following figures.
To remove the IE-SW-PL18M from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and
2 above.
