Chapter 4: System Design and Installation

Now, take a look at the bottom side of the controller base. It will appear as
shown below:

The DIN rail channel runs lengthwise across the middle of the base’s bottom side.
At the top of that channel are three overhanging hooks. At the bottom of the
channel there is a sliding retaining clip.

The process of installing a base on a DIN rail is as follows:

1. Pull the retaining clip back from the center of the base. It should pull back

about 1/8 inch. The retaining clip on an uninstalled unit can be pulled
back with your fingers.

2. Place the Pointe Controller base on the horizontal DIN rail with the three

overhanging hooks over the top of the rail. Mounting must be horizontal
to allow convection air flow for cooling.

3. Rock the Pointe Controller base down flat against the bottom of the DIN

rail.

4. Push the retaining clip closed to hook the bottom rib of the DIN rail.

4.9.2 Mounting the Base to an Operator Panel

The Pointe Controller unit base can also be mounted to any OptiLogic operator
panel. As shown in the figure below, OptiLogic operator panels have a built in
DIN rail for mounting the base.
