Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch Installation and User Guide (04/07)
Once the bottom of the 6K8 is rotated out, the DIN-Rail latch is not engaged and the 6K8
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 6K8. It
shows vertical mounting of Magnum 6K8 on a DIN-Rail track for proper convection
cooling of the unit. Note that there is air space in the rear, as the 6K8 unit is held out
from the rear of the panel by the mounting brackets. The 6K8 design uses the case for
cooling (patent pending), and needs to be mounted vertically with airflow space in the
front, rear, and sides.

The DIN-Rail mounting brackets and latches are optional and need to be ordered
as separate items, e.g. Model # DIN-RAIL-6K8
