provided on the sides of 6K16V for DIN-Rail mounting 

purposes.  See side view at the left, with the top of the unit 

pointed to the right. The required two screws are included 

with the DIN-Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL. 

PAN w/star washer. The two heavy duty Din-Rail latches 

are designed as if that they can be manually accessed from 

the top when the 6K16V is installed on a DIN Rail. 

To install the 6K16V with the DIN-Rail brackets and 

latches attached to it, hold the 6K16V in the vertical position 

with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the 

DIN-Rail.  Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. 

Then, snap the latches into holding position by moving the bottom of the 6K16V inwards 

to a vertical position. The DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy duty, and will hold 

the 6K16V securely in position, even with cabling attached to the unit.  

To release the 6K16V from the DIN-Rail mounting, press the top of the two DIN-

Rail latches down simultaneously to release the 6K16V so that it can be dismounted by 

pulling the bottom out. Once the bottom of the 6K16V is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch 

is not engaged and the 6K16V can be moved up and out, free of the DIN-Rail mounting.. 

The picture below is a front / right-side view of a DIN-Rail mounted 6K16V. It 

shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K16V on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection 

cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K16V unit is held out 

from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K16V design uses the case for 

cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with air flow space in the 

front, rear, 

and sides.
