Mounting and demounting
The ZB8610 fan cartridge is snapped onto a 48-mm wide terminal group of Beckhoff standard or high-density (HD) terminals using the "8-channel/16-channel fan cartridge holder" supplied as an accessory.


The width of the individual terminals may be 12 mm (single width) or 24 mm (double width) or a combination of both.
The mounting of the ZB8610 is described below by way of an example.

Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device! Bring the Bus Terminals system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals. |
Mounting
1. Assemble the terminals to be ventilated into a group with a width of 48 mm and snap the holder on the left in the lower ventilation cut-outs of the first terminal to be ventilated, as shown in fig. "Engaging the holder for the fan cartridge".

The holder is correctly engaged when a clear click sound is heard.


2. Push the fan cartridge onto the holder as shown in fig. "Attaching the fan cartridge". The holding tab and the recess (see fig. "Push fan cartridge with recess over holding tab") on the fan cartridge fit each other and close flush in a downward direction.


3. Make sure that the latching tab is pushed into the groove until a click noise is heard as in fig. "Push latching tab into groove". The fan cartridge is now correctly attached.



Removal
1. To dismantle, pull the fan cartridge off the terminal group in the direction of the arrow (see fig.).

2. To detach the holder from the terminal, place a screwdriver between the terminal and holder (see fig.) and carefully lever until the holder releases.

![]() | Clearance of the fan cartridge module When installing terminals with mounted fan cartridge module ensure that an adequate spacing (> 35 mm) is maintained between other components above and below the terminals (incl. fan cartridge) in order to guarantee a flawless operation of the fan cartridge and adequate ventilation of the terminals. |
