Removing a Mounting Base

To remove a mounting base, you must remove any installed module,
and remove the removable terminal block (if wired).

1. Unlatch the RTB handle on the I/O module.

2. Pull on the RTB handle to remove the removable terminal block.

3. Press in on the module lock on the top of the module and pull

up on the I/O module to remove from the base.

4. Remove the module to the right of the base you are removing.

(The interlocking portion of the base sits under the adjacent
module.)

5. Use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the orange DIN rail

locking screw on the mounting base to a vertical position. This
releases the locking mechanism.

6. Then lift the mounting base straight up to remove.
