2.3.1.2 Mounting in a DIN Rail System
The DIN rail bracket is attached with rivets to the narrow surface of the DX40 opposite the
LED display. The bracket attaches to the DIN rail by means of a pair of stationary prongs
near the top of the bracket and a single spring-loaded prong (the release mechanism)
toward the bottom of the bracket.
Figure 2-3. DX40 configured for DIN Rail Mounting
To fasten the DX40 into a DIN rail system begin by slipping the upper pair of prongs over
the top of the rail. Then, while depressing the spring-loaded release mechanism (as
illustrated in Figure 2-4), press the DX40 flush against the DIN rail and remove the
screwdriver to allow the release mechanism to close. Check to make sure that the top
and bottom prongs on the bracket are securely attached to the DIN rail.
When the DX40 is fastened into the DIN rail system it can be released by downward
pressure on the release mechanism. To unmount the DX40 insert the tip of a screwdriver
into the slot in the metal “tail” that projects below the DX40 chassis and force the release
mechanism down (see Figure 2-4). Take care not to apply pressure to any I/O connector
or SFP transceiver.
