Mount the FP-3000 and Terminal Bases
You can mount your FieldPoint system either to a standard 35 mm DIN rail
or directly on a panel. Panel mounting is generally the more secure option,
but DIN rail mounting might be more convenient for your application. The
following sections give instructions for both mounting methods.
Mounting the FP-3000 on a DIN Rail
The FP-3000 has a simple rail clip for reliable mounting onto a standard
35 mm DIN rail. Follow these steps to mount the FP-3000 on a DIN rail.
1. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked
position, as shown in Figure 2-1.

rail and press the FP-3000 down onto the DIN rail, as shown in
Figure 2-2.
