OUNTING

 

Mount the VWG in a location that allows clearance for wiring, servicing, and antenna 
removal. 

 

Environmental Requirements 

 

Note the following requirements for the VWG mounting location: 

  This product is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the unit to ambient 

conditions outside of the range of 0ºC (32

º

 F) to 50

º

C (122

º

 F) and relative humidity 

outside the range 5% to 95% non-condensing (pollution degree 1). 

 

  If mounting inside an enclosure, that enclosure should be designed to keep the 

unit within its required operating range considering 20-watt dissipation by the 
controller. This is especially important if the controller is mounted inside an 
enclosure with other heat producing equipment. 

 

  Do not mount the unit: 

–  In an area where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or explosive vapors 

are present. 

– 

Where vibration or shock is likely to occur. 

–  In a location 

subject to electrical noise

. This includes the proximity of 

large electrical contractors, electrical machinery, welding equipment, and 
spark igniters. 

 

 

Physical Mounting 

 

The following information applies about physically mounting the unit. 
 

  You can mount the VWG in any orientation. It is not necessary to remove the 

cover before mounting. 

 

  Mounting on a 35mm wide DIN rail is recommended. The VWG unit base has a 

molded DIN rail slot and locking clip.  

 

  If DIN rail mounting is impractical, you can use screws in mounting tabs on the 

VWG 

 

The following procedure provides step-by-step DIN rail mounting instructions for the VWG.

 

Mount the VWG prior to mounting any accessory items.
