Installation 

 
The ICS-7-OEM is designed to be attached to a 35mm ‘top-hat’ style DIN rail inside a control cabinet. 
It  should  always  be  enclosed  in  a  cabinet  that  requires  use  of  a  tool  or  key  to  open  to  prevent 
tampering and risk of touching live connections. 
 
Whilst the unit itself operates on 24V it is possible that higher voltages fed from other equipment 
may be present on its output contacts. 
 

5.1  Positioning 

 
The ICS-7-OEM should be mounted in a convenient position for wiring. It should be inaccessible by 
operators. It has indicator lights on its top surface which would normally only need to be observed 
by installation and maintenance personnel. 
 
Provision should be made to prevent the unit from sliding along the DIN rail after fitting, for example 
by the use of end clamps or other equipment. 
 
During  installation,  wired  connections  will  need  to  be  made  from  the  ICS-7-OEM  to  all  the 
interlocked doors, warning signs, laser interlocks, shutters, PLC and other equipment as required by 
the  system.  Allowance  should  be  made  for  wire  retention  such  as  plastic  slotted  trunking  running 
alongside both long sides of the unit. 
 
All of the terminals are identified on the label on the top of the unit, see next page.
