This section contains information about installing the NetLinx Modules and Master Cards, wiring diagrams, and pinouts for assembling cables.

Mounting the Modules Into an Equipment Rack

To install the NXS-MHS Modules in an equipment rack, you'll need an optional AC-RK Kit:

1.Remove the front panel from the Module to expose the mounting holes.

2.Mount the module on the AC-RK bracket.

3.Place the AC-RK bracket (with the module) in the equipment rack and secure the bracket to the rack.

4.Replace the front panel to the Module, and reattach the magnetic faceplate (if necessary).

Mounting the Master Cards in an NXF CardFrame or NXI

The Master Cards can be installed in a NetLinx CardFrame (NXF), or NetLinx Integrated Controller (NXI). In both cases, the card mounts in a horizontal position, through the master slot on the rear panel of the enclosure. FIG. 12 shows the Master Card slots on the NXF CardFrame.
