Panel Mounting by Using the Dimensional Template
Panel Mounting Procedure by Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a template
for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting
equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided on
page 29 . Due to
module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures.
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.
DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted by using either of these DIN rails:
• 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5)
• 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15)
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the
DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will
momentarily open and lock into place.

Important: All dimensions are in mm (inches).
Hole spacing tolerance: ±0.04 mm (0.016 in.).
TIP If mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group
and put the others aside. This reduces remounting time during
drilling and tapping of the next group.
