Hand Held Products Dolphin 7200

9 - 6 Dolphin® 7200 User’s Guide

Wall Mounting:

The Compact HomeBase also has two DIN rail (7.5 X 35mm) slots on the back to allow for secure wall mounting of the unit if

desired.

When using right-angle style RS232 connector cable, the DIN rails may be mounted directly to the wall.

When using standard RS232 connector cables, it is recommended that the rails be mounted to the wall using a 25mm (1 in.)

spacer to allow for appropriate strain relief of the cables.
