Overview
Install your controller using these installation instructions.
!
ATTENTION Do not remove protective debris strips until after the base and
all other equipment in the panel near the base is mounted and
wiring is complete. Once wiring is complete, remove
protective debris strips and install processor unit. Failure to
remove strips before operating can cause overheating.
!
ATTENTION Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for
your controller or other equipment within the enclosure or
panel. Drilled fragments that fall into the controller could
cause damage. Do not drill holes above a mounted controller if
the protective debris strips have been removed.
!
ATTENTION Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices
inside the base unit. Do not touch the connector pins or other
sensitive areas.

Hazardous Location Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I,Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only. The following WARNING statement applies to
use in hazardous locations.
Use only the following communication cables in Class I, Division 2 hazardous
locations.
!
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class
I, Division 2.
• Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless
power has been switched off or the area is known to be
non-hazardous.
• Do not connect or disconnect components unless power has
been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
• This product must be installed in an enclosure. All cables
connected to the product must remain in the enclosure or be
protected by conduit or other means.
• All wiring must comply with N.E.C. article 501-4(b).

Mounting the Controller
General Considerations
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution Degree
2) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage Category II) and
environmental exposure. Locate your controller as far as possible from power
lines, load lines, and other sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact
switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For more information on proper
grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines publication 1770-4.1.
!
ATTENTION
Vertical mounting is not recommended due to heat build-up
considerations.
!
ATTENTION Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for
your controller or other equipment within the enclosure or
panel. Drilled fragments that fall into the base or processor unit
could cause damage. Do not drill holes above a mounted
controller if the protective debris strips have been removed or
the processor has been installed.
NOTE Remove the ESD sticker to install expansion I/O modules. An
end cap terminator (catalog numbers 1769-ECR or -ECL) or
an extension cable (catalog numbers 1769-CRR1, -CRR3,
-CLL1, -CLL3, -CRL1, -CRL3) must be used at the end of the
group of I/O modules attached to the MicroLogix 1500
Controller. The end cap terminator is not provided with the
base unit. A maximum of eight I/O modules may be connected
to the base.

Mounting Dimensions
Controller Spacing
The base unit is designed to be mounted horizontally, with the Compact™
expansion I/O extending to the right of the base unit. Allow 50 mm (2 in.) of
space on all sides for adequate ventilation, as shown below.

Publication 1764-IN001A-ML-P
Using a DIN Rail
The base unit and expansion I/O DIN rail latches lock intheopen position so that
an entire system can be easily attached to or removed from the DIN rail. The
maximum extension of the latch is 15 mm (0.67 in.) in the open position. A
flat-blade screw driver is required for removal of the base unit. The base can be
mounted to EN50022-35x7.5 or EN50022-35x15 DIN rails. DIN rail mounting
dimensions are shown below.
To install your base unit on the DIN rail:
1. Mount your DIN rail. (Make sure that the placement of the base unit on the
DIN rail meets the recommended spacing requirements, see “Controller
Spacing” on page 9. Refer to the mounting template from the inside back
cover of this document.)
2. Hook the top slot over the DIN rail.
3. While pressing the base unit down against the top of the rail, snap the bottom
of the base unit into position.
4. Leave the protective debris strip attached until you are finished wiring the base
unit and any other devices.
