Installation
The DIM1D and DIM4D
are standard 35mm
DIN rail modules.
Using the supplied DIN
rail, the units can be
35mm
mounted in any
DIN rail
adequate electrical
box. Alternatively, they
Release
can be mounted in a
clip
standard DIN rail
enclosure. To attach a
module, align the top of the DIN rail as shown in Figure 1
and apply pressure to the module until it clicks into place.
To remove the DIM1D or DIM4D from the DIN rail, pull the
release clip and remove the module.
