3.3DIN-Rail Mounting the Magnum 6KM
The Magnum 6KM is designed for use in a “factory floor” industrial environment. It is available with an optional DIN-Rail bracket to mount it securely in a metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit. The Magnum 6KM requires one DIN- Rail bracket for secure mounting. See a 6KM viewed from the bottom, at the rear, showing the DIN Rail in place.
The DIN Rail bracket is mounted to the bottom of the 6KM unit, as shown. Four threaded holes are provided on the bottom of the 6KM for DIN-Rail mounting purposes. The required four screws are included with the DIN-Rail bracket, and are no. 4-40 x 9/32 PHIL. PAN Head. The rail clip is spring-loaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy “snap-on” attachment and removal.
To install the 6KM with the DIN-Rail bracket installed, hold the 6KM in the side vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the DIN- Rail. Position the DIN bracket over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the bracket into holding position by moving the bottom of the 6KM inwards to a vertical position. The DIN-Rail bracket is heavy duty, and will hold the 6KM securely in position, even with cabling attached to the unit.
To release the 6KM from the DIN-Rail mounting, push the spring loaded slide down until the unit release from the DIN rail, disengaging the DIN rail bracket from the DIN rail. Once the bottom of the 6KM is rotated out, the DIN-Rail bracket is not engaged and the 6KM can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.
The DIN-Rail mounting bracket is optional and needs to be ordered as separate items, e.g Model # DIN-RAIL-6KL.
3.3.1Mounting Dimensions for 6KM with metal brackets
Each Mangum 6KM is supplied with metal mounting brackets and screws to mount the unit securely on a panel or wall. It is recommended to mount the 6KM vertically in one of the two mounting positions available, as shown below, for proper cooling and long-life reliability. It is also advisable to mount the unit with space for air movement around the top and the sides, typically a minimum of 1 inch.
Note: The metal brackets supplied, hold the back of the 6KM unit out from the panel or wall behind it, creating a rear space of about 1/8 inch or 3mm. This allows air circulation and cooling of the rear part of the case.
