How to Mount DRS20F/DRS20I on a DIN Rail

This guide provides instructions for securely mounting the DRS20F or DRS20I unit onto a standard DIN rail using the appropriate mounting bracket and specified torque for a stable installation.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

T30 Torx Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

M5x8 Screws

  1. Select Appropriate Mounting Bracket

    Identify your DRS unit model. For DRS20F, use the flat rail mounting bracket (Ref. Pic. 20A). For DRS20I, use the inclined rail mounting bracket (Ref. Pic. 20C).

  2. Position Unit on DIN Rail

    Place the DRS20F or DRS20I unit, with its pre-attached or selected mounting bracket, onto the standard DIN rail. Ensure the unit is correctly aligned and seated on the rail.

  3. Secure Unit to DIN Rail

    Insert the M5x8 screws into the designated holes on the mounting bracket. Using a T30 Torx screwdriver, tighten the screws to a torque of 2-3 Nm to firmly secure the unit to the DIN rail. Verify the unit is stable and does not wobble.
