Install the first CHARM Baseplate on the DIN rail

The first CHARM Baseplate holds Address Plug one and a bank of 12 CHARM Terminal Blocks. The first CHARM Baseplate connects to a CHARM I/O Carrier on the DIN rail. No tools are required to install a CHARM Baseplate onto the DIN rail.

For this procedure it is assumed that a CHARM I/O Carrier is installed on the DIN rail.

  1. Hold the first CHARM Baseplate beneath the CHARM I/O carrier installed on the DIN rail and notice how the connectors on the top of the baseplate interlock with the connectors on the bottom of the CHARM I/O carrier.
  2. Align and fit the connectors together as you snap the CHARM Baseplate onto the DIN rail.
    A latch on the back of the baseplate snaps it into place on the DIN rail.
