Each module of the LYNX System is a closed unit with a header of pins and locking tabs to connect it to another module in the system. Optional I/O modules are connected on the RIGHT side of the Control Module. This section covers:

!Removing the End Plates.

!Connecting/Disconnecting System Modules.

C o n n e c t i n g t h e S y s t e m

1.Remove the end plate(s) [A] from the Control Module. Depressing the locking clips [C] with a small screwdriver through the slot [B] on the top and bottom of the module and pulling them apart does this. See figure 2.1

2.Align the locking clips of the module being connected with the slots on the module being connected to.

3.Press modules firmly together, there will be an audible “snap” when the locking clips are fully engaged.

4.Reinstall the end plates at the ends of the LYNX System. They are designed to fit either end.

5.You are now ready to mount your LYNX System to a panel or DIN Rail using the optional hardware kit.
