S14 Convenient Switches

Installation and User Guide (09/04)

hardware is optional and needs to be ordered as a separate item, e.g. Model # DIN-RAIL-MC2. It comes with four screws to attach the bracket to the MC unit.

The Rail clip is spring-loaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy “snap-on” attachment and removal.

The Magnum S14 Models with “HR” have 24VDC power, and have the DIN- Rail-MC2 bracket included and assembled with the MC unit at the factory.

3.5 Power Requirements, Power Supply Types for S14-Series Switches

Magnum S14-Series Switches are power-efficient and can work with an external AC power supply. Magnum S14-Series require a nominal 12VDC input (range 8 to 15V, see Specifications) at the jack in the rear. The extended temperature –Hd version is used for heavy duty and industrial applications, up to 55`C ambient.
