M ount the Equipment GuardPLC 1200 Controller
The GuardPLC 1200 controller can be either snapped onto a DIN rail
or mounted to a back panel by using bolts. DIN rail mounting is the
easiest way to attach the controller and should be used wherever
possible.
DIN Rail
1. Hook the two top latches, on the back of the GuardPLC 1200
controller, over the top of the DIN rail.
2. If the lower latches are extended (see figure below), push them
up until they lock into place. If the lower latches are not
extended, press the GuardPLC 1200 controller into the DIN rail
until they lock into place.
IMPORTANT
For cooling reasons:
•
the GuardPLC 1200 controller must be mounted horizontally
with the Ethernet socket facing down.
•
a location where air flows freely or use an additional cooling
fan.
•
the minimum clearance around the
GuardPLC 1200 controller must be at least 100 mm (3.94 in.).
•
do not mount the GuardPLC 1200 controller over a heating
device.
TIP
If you need to remove the controller from the DIN rail, use a
screwdriver to pull down the lower latches, then lift the
controller toward you.
