Mechanical Specifications

Mounting and Cooling

The controller must be installed in an enclosed control cabinet suitable for installation of power equipment. A minimum enclosure rating of IP54 is required to comply with safety standards. Make sure that there is sufficient clearance surrounding the controller for free airflow and for the routing of cables and connections. Consideration for items such as line reactors, line filters, and motor chokes or inductance should be made during the initial cabinet design phase.

DIN Rail Mounting

A DIN rail can only be used with the -2P1 or -4P1 options.

DIN Rail Mounting Procedure:

  1. Mount the DIN rail clip to the iXI4/XI4. The clip and #6-32 x 1/4 flat head screws are included in the DIN rail clip kit.
  2. Cut the DIN rail so one complete mounting hole extends beyond the last component at each end.
  3. Secure the DIN Rail to the mounting surface with #10-32 screws spaced every six inches.
    NOTE: Do not install the DIN rail to the mounting surface with the components already attached.
  4. Install all components on to the DIN rail.
