ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace a terminal base unit when
power is applied. Interruption of the flexbus can result in unintended
operation or machine motion.
1. Remove the cover plug (if used) in the male connector of the
unit to which you are connecting this terminal base unit.
2. Check to make sure that the 16 pins in the male connector on
the adjacent device are straight and in line so that the mating
female connector on this terminal base unit will mate correctly.
3. Position the terminal base on the 35 x 7.5mm DIN rail A
(Allen-Bradley part number 199-DR1; 46277-3; EN 50022) at a
slight angle with hook B on the left side of the terminal base
hooked into the right side of the unit on the left.
4. Make certain that the female flexbus connector C is fully
retracted into the base unit.
5. Rotate the terminal base onto the DIN rail with the top of the
rail hooked under the lip on the rear of the terminal base. Use
caution to make sure that the female flexbus connector does
not strike any of the pins in the mating male connector.
