Horizontal or Vertical Mounting
• To mount horizontally (left to right), add the expansion block
in an end-to-end configuration.
• To mount vertically (up or down), add an expansion block
either up or down in a back-to-back configuration. In this 
configuration, you must use the optional 15 cm (5.9 in.) 
ribbon cable (1790-15CMCBL) and alternately position the 
blocks in a right-side up, upside-down fashion.
Mount your blocks on a panel or DIN rail.

WARNING
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc 
can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure 
that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
The longer expansion cable 
(1790-15CMCBL) provides for 
up to 7 cm (2.76 in.) of space 
in between blocks.
