Step 1: Add Expansion Modules
Remove power from the RMC before adding expansion modules.
Instructions are also included with each module.
Expansion modules can be added in any order. Do not add more than
4 expansion modules. No more than two Q2 modules can be installed
per RMC75.
1. Remove 4 screws
Remove the 4 phillips-head screws
on the right side of the top and
bottom of the RMC70.
2. Install Expansion Module
3. Reinstall the 4 screws
Step 2: Mounting
deltamotion.com 3
Step 2: Mounting
The RMC should be mounted upright on a vertical surface, such that
the ventilation holes are on the top and bottom.
Mounting Options
Symmetrical DIN 3 Panel-mount
See Appendix B: Mounting Dimensions for dimensions
Clearance
The amount of clearance above and below depends on the maximum
ambient temperature:
Ambient Temperature
Clearance
122 - 140°F (50 - 60°C)
3 in. (7.6 cm)
86 - 122°F (30 - 50°C)
2 in. (5.1 cm)
Less than 86°F (30°C)
1 in. (2.5 cm)
Grounding
Make sure to properly ground the RMC. If mounted on a DIN rail, the
RMC will conduct to the DIN rail. The RMC shell is electrically
connected to its Case pins.

or Ethernet switch. The RMC75E supports both
straight through and crossover cables.
RMC75S or RMC75P
Connect Serial Cable
Connect a null-modem, DB-9, female-to-female cable to the RMC75
RS-232 Monitor port, and to a serial port on the PC.
If you make your own cable, pins 2 and 3 must be crossed over, and
pin 5 must be straight-through.
