Mounting the TRC-8543

Mounting the TRC-8543

Notice The TRC-8543 is a thermally active product that dissipates heat. Refer to the user manual of the host this product directly connects to for specific information regarding thermal management. Not following mounting requirements may affect the system ambient temperature and/or the measurement accuracy of modules in the system.
Notice To meet thermal management requirements, do not zip tie more than six cables in a bundle, and allow for air flow around the bundle. If used with a CompactRIO or CompactDAQ chassis, mount all cables at least 152 mm (6.0 in.) from the chassis and do not mount more than six cables directly beneath the chassis.

You can route and strain relieve the TRC-8543 similarly to ordinary cables. You also can panel mount it using its removable jackscrews, zip tie, or screw mount it. The screw mounting holes support #6 and M3 screws spaced 35.56 mm (1.400 in.) center-to-center, with minimum length of 23 mm (7/8 in.). The TRC-8543 supports zip ties up to 5.33 mm (0.210 in.) wide.

The following figure shows jackscrews, zip tie mounting slots, and screw mounting holes on the TRC-8543.

Tighten the jackscrews to a maximum torque of 0.56 N · m (5.0 lb · in.).

The jackscrews included with the TRC-8543 work with panel thicknesses up to 2.21 mm (0.087 in.). If your panel is thicker than 2.21 mm (0.087 in.), you can mill out a recessed pocket for the TRC-8543. The following figure shows the recommended pocket dimensions and cutout position.
