following spread for installation:
a. Using two (2) of the included DIN Rail Screws,
install the DIN Rail onto the rst TRO.Y unit.
b. Using three (3) Rack Ear screws each (included),
install the two DIN Rail Brackets on the opposite
side of the second TRO.Y unit.
c. While holding both TRO.Y units, slide the DIN Rail
through both DIN Rail brackets. Then, tighten both
set screws using the provided 1.5mm hex tool.
d. Slide the Rack Mount Fascia over the exposed
DIN Rail bracket on the desired front face of the
combined unit. Fasten the fascia down with two
(2) Rack Ear Screws on the top and bottom.
e. Finally, fasten one Rack Ear to each TRO.Y unit
using three (3) Rack Ear screws each.
