The CLX-DIN-AP3 and CLX-DIN-AP3-HUB install in an identical manner. For simplicity within this guide, the term "CLX-DIN-AP3" is used except where noted.

Installation

The CLX-DIN-AP3 must be mounted in accordance with all national and local codes.

NOTE: Adhere to Class 1 and Class 2 wiring requirements when considering the equipment attached to the CLX-DIN-AP3 in an enclosure.
