Mounting the cDAQ Controller on a DIN Rail
Use the DIN rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail configuration or if you need
to be able to remove the controller quickly. You can use the NI DIN rail mount kit to mount the
controller on a DIN rail. You need one clip for mounting the controller on a standard 35 mm DIN
rail. Refer to the Cables and Accessories section for the accessory part number for your cDAQ
controller. Complete the following steps to mount the controller on a DIN rail.
1. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the controller using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and M4 × 10
screws

. National Instruments provides these screws with the DIN rail mount kit. Tighten
the screws to a maximum torque of 1.3 N · m (11.5 lb · in.). Make sure the DIN rail kit is
installed as shown in Figure 1-19, with the larger lip of the DIN clip positioned up. When
the DIN rail kit is properly installed, the cDAQ controller is centered on the DIN rail.
