How to Install the
NIM
Unlike other Advantys STB modules, the NIM’s mounting base is permanently
attached to the module. The NIM is installed on the DIN rail in one piece. To install
the NIM, use the following procedure:
Step Action
1 Remove the STB XMP 1100 termination plate (1) from the NIM package and set it
aside for later use.
2 Choose the exact location on the DIN rail where you want to position the NIM before
you place it on the rail.
Note Do not slide the NIM on the rail—this could crush the functional earth
(FE) contacts on the back of the NIM.
Make sure that you have reserved enough space to the right of the NIM for all the
other island modules you want to mount on the DIN rail. In addition, reserve enough
space for any DIN-mounted external devices you intend to use, such as source
power supplies and safety relays. If a 7 mm rail is used, make sure that there are
no mounting screws located in the part of the rail where the island modules will be
installed.
