Install a ControlNet Ex Media System 3-3
Mount the Taps
You can mount your ControlNet Ex taps (Y-tap and T-tap):
•
to a universal mounting bracket, and then mount the tap and
bracket as an assembly.
•
through the body holes in the tap using screws, flat washers,
and a tie wrap.
Once you have mounted your taps, you can store or discard any
unused universal mounting brackets.
ATTENTION
Do not allow any metal portions of the tap, such as
the universal mounting bracket screws or
connectors, to contact any conductive material. This
contact could cause noise on the network.
Also be certain all exposed metal is covered by
either the intrinsically-safe insulators or tape having a
500V dielectric rating.
TIP
See Appendix A for universal mounting bracket and
tap mounting dimensions.
