Minimum Spacing

External Comms Kits can be zero-stacked (side-by-side
mounting). Allow 75 mm (3 in.) of space on the bottom of the
enclosure for cable entry. Allow at least 75 mm (3.2 in.) of
enclosure clearance depth to accommodate the Comms Kit.

Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Drawing

Mount the Comms Kit to a panel using two M4 or #8
panhead screws (not included).

Panel Mounting Procedure Using Comms Kit as a Template

The following procedure enables you to use the assembled
Comms Kit as a template for drilling holes in the panel.

1. Using the assembled Comms Kit as a template, carefully

mark the center of both holes on the panel.

2. Remove the Comms Kit to a clean location.

3. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended

M4 or #8 panhead screws (not included).

4. Place the Comms Kit back on the panel, and check for

proper hole alignment.

5. Attach the Comms Kit to the panel using the mounting

screws.

DIN Rail Mounting

The Comms Kit can be mounted using 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 Comms Kit on a DIN rail, open the
DIN rail latch. Press the DIN rail mounting area of the
Comms Kit against the DIN rail, and manually lock the DIN
rail latch (
