Installing the Remote I/O Head (M/N 57C328 and

M/N 57C330)

Use the following procedure to install the Remote I/O Head:
Step 1.

Refer to the mounting dimensions in figure 3.17. The

Remote I/O Head is designed to be mounted vertically

(either in an enclosure or on a mounting surface to ensure

proper air flow for cooling). Additional units, Local Heads,

or rails may be mounted as close as the mounting feet will

allow.
When designing your layout, keep in mind that the Local

I/O Interface cable (M/N 45C8) is 10 feet long and the I/O

Rail cable (M/N 45C5) is 4 feet long. You must ensure that

the cables can reach from the Remote I/O Head to each

Local Head or rail.
