Module Components
The illustration shows the components that comprise the 1786-RPFM module.
Mount the Module
Mount the module on a 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.) DIN rail, Allen-Bradley
part number 199-DR1, 46277, EN 50022.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to
chassis ground. Use zinc-plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to
assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN-rail materials (for
example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode or oxidize, or are
poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every
200 mm (7.87 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
TIP
When using the 1786-RPFM module, we recommend horizontal
mounting if cabinet temperatures are expected to approach
60 °C (140 °F). If your expected temperatures are much lower
than 60 °C (140 °F), vertical mounting is acceptable. If using
vertical mounting, we recommend that the 1786-RPA repeater
adapter module be mounted at the top.
