Installation on mounting rails – Bus Coupler

Snapping onto the mounting rail

The Bus Coupler can simply be snapped onto the mounting rail. To this end position the block on the mounting rail and push it slightly until it engages on the right-hand side. This is indicated by a distinct click. Use a screwdriver to push up the lock on the left-hand side, thereby turning it and causing it to engage audibly.

Recommended distances for standard installation position

Notice

Comply with the permitted installation position and minimum distances!

We recommend the installation in the horizontal position for optimum ventilation. Furthermore, it is not necessary with this installation position to check whether there are terminals present that may only be installed horizontally.

Other installation positions are allowed, but not recommended.
