Mount the Controller on a Panel

Use two M4 or #8 panhead screws to mount the controller. Mounting screws are
required on every module. Use this procedure to use the assembled modules as a
template for drilling holes in the panel.

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.

Use the mounting screws to attach the modules to the panel.

7.

Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.

IMPORTANT

Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures.

TIP

The grounding plate, that is, where you install the mounting screws, grounds
the module when it is panel-mounted.

TIP

If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group and
put the others aside. This reduces remounting time when you are drilling and
tapping the next group of modules.
