USER MANUAL Dual Ethernet I/O Module Installation and ... - Sixnet

Section 2PanelAssemblyAssembly and InstallationMost Sixnet components snap onto DIN rail strips fastened to a subpanel. Two red-coloredsnaps, located on the bottom of the module’s base subassembly, are available for quick andeasy DIN rail mounting. One snap allows for vertical mounting orientation, the other forhorizontal mounting. The I/O Module is approximately 5.5” high and 3.5” wide (refer to theMechanical Dimensions diagram, Figure 2-1 below).Arrange the enclosure layout to suit your application. Like EtherTRAK-2 I/O, other Sixnetcomponents can be installed in any orientation and order on your panel. The Sixnetcomponents are typically installed against one another, but space may be left betweenmodules to accommodate other DIN rail mounted components such as terminal blocks andfuse holders. End clamps are recommended to restrict side-to-side movement. Be sure toallow ample space between DIN rails for wire ducts.For most EtherTRAK-2 base I/O and power screw terminal sizes used on Sixnet products areM3 and can support wire sizes of 30-12AWG. The recommended torque is 5 IN/LB.The exception to this is the E2-16ISOTC-D I/O wiring. The screw terminal sizes are M2 andcan support wire sizes of 30-16AWG. The recommended torque is 1.5 IN/LB.Mechanical Dimensions(Figure 2-1)EtherTRAK-2 I/O Module User Manual Page 7 of 37 Last Revised: 05-NOV-2010Sixnet Technology Park 331 Ushers Ballston Lake, NY 12019 USA +1-518-877-5173 support@sixnet.com
