Installing the Base Block
To install the base block on the DIN rail:
1. Position the base block on the 35×7.5mm DIN rail (Allen-Bradley catalog
number 199-DR1) at a 30° angle.
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins.
Follow these guidelines when you handle the base block:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the base block.
• If available, use a static-safe work station.
• When not in use, keep the base block in its static-shield
box.
