Installation on a DIN rail

A DIN rail is a common and convenient technique for installing the RP-C controller along with other associated control and monitoring devices. The most efficient ventilation is achieved with the wall-mounted DIN rail oriented horizontally and with adequate space provided between the RP-C rail and adjacent rails or other devices.

The RP-C controller is typically installed horizontally (on a DIN rail going from left to right), with the device label text in the upright position reading left to right.

DIN rail end clip

To help prevent the device from sliding down or sideways on the DIN rail, install an end clip for DIN 35 (part number SXWDINEND10001) tightly against the bottom or rightmost device on the rail. The end clip is easily removed if you bend the snap lock open with a screwdriver.

Aviso

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Use an end clip (part number SXWDINEND10001) when you install the device on a vertical DIN rail.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
