Product Dimensions and Installation

Mounting Orientation
DL05 and DL06 PLCs must be mounted
properly to ensure ample airflow for
cooling purposes. It is important to
follow the unit orientation requirements
and to verify that the PLC’s dimensions
are compatible with your application.
Notice particularly the grounding
requirements and the recommended
cabinet clearances.
