Figure 3-6  xSenso, Side View

Back Panel

On the xSenso back panel, there is a mounting bracket with a sliding orange clip which allows you 
to mount and dismount the device from a DIN rail, as shown in 

Figure 3-3

.  There are also four 

rubber feet that can be attached to the bottom-side of the device, if the xSenso is to be placed on 
a flat surface.

Figure 3-7  xSenso Bottom/Back Panel View

Installing the xSenso

Be sure to place or mount the device securely on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The device 
comes with mounting brackets for mounting the device vertically, for example on a wall. If using 
AC power, avoid outlets controlled by a wall switch.

Observe the following guidelines when connecting the analog input devices:

It is recommended to use twisted-pair wires to connect analog sensors and xSenso. If EMC is 
a concern, shielded wires and/or ferrite bead may be used to improve signal integrity in noisy 
environment.
