  1. Mount the DIN rail at the appropriate location.
  2. Connect each 8-wide carrier to any adjacent carriers by sliding the 96-pin connectors at the top or bottom of the carriers together. Hold the carrier in position to ensure that it does not fall.
  3. Turn the screws counter-clockwise to disengage the latch. With the carrier on the rail, tighten the screws clockwise to latch.
    Note

    The middle two screws are for G-rail mounting and the outer screws are for T-rail mounting.

  4. If you are mounting 8-wide carriers on separate rails, use the bottom cable extender for a left-to-right bridge and the top cable extender for a right-to-left bridge.
  5. Install ground wiring as shown in the following figure. For a good connection, use a signal ground cable and a block spade terminal, sized for AC/DC system power.
