Module Installation/Disassembly
4.1 Installation
I. Align the red arrow on the side of the module to the arrow on the DIN rail.
II. Press the module down and the metal clamp will slide (thanks to its spring
mechanism) and grab on the other side of the DIN rail. Continue to push down
until the metal clamp “clicks”.
*Note: Make sure the red arrows on the module and the rail are pointing the same direction.
4.2 Removal
I. Use a screwdriver to pull the metal hook sideways and detach the module
from the DIN rail.
II. Remove all modules from the DIN rail in reverse order of installation.
