Mounting Options
The NTC-4000 series modem can be mounted on the wall or a DIN rail
by using the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is made from
polyamide, which is a exible material.
Mounting the NTC-4000 series modem is as simple as bending the
mounting bracket to snap into place on the Type-O (Top Hat) DIN rail.
This holds the NTC-4000 series modem in place securely.
Alternatively, the mounting bracket can be screwed onto a wall to
provide a permanent xture.
DIN rail mounting
The NTC-4000 Series mounting bracket has been designed to t a TS
35 Type-O DIN rail with a 25mm core.
Bend / Flex the mounting bracket at the bend line so that
the ridges are able to hold onto the DIN rail edges as per
the diagram above. You also have the option of securing the
mounting backet further by screwing it into place on the rail.
