DIN Rail

The TeSys island modules are mountable on IEC 60715–compliant DIN rail (top hat style) with the following dimensions:

• Width: 35 mm (±0.3 mm)

• Thickness: 1 mm (±0.04 mm)

• Height: 7.5 or 15 mm (+0, −0.4 mm)

For Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) compliance, the galvanized steel DIN rail must be attached to a flat metal mounting surface, or mounted on an Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) rack or in a metal cabinet enclosure. Do not use aluminum DIN rail. Aluminum forms an inherent non-conductive oxide on its surface that inhibits electrical connection.

A single piece of galvanized steel DIN rail is recommended. Use metallic screws approximately every 8 in. (20.32 cm) to attach the DIN rail to the metallic equipment structure or panel. Grounding is through the DIN rail connection.

Suitable DIN rail is available from Schneider Electric. See the following table.
