The 140XCP40200 is built to operate in clean indoor environments without exposure to corrosive chemicals. Key parameters include:
- Operating Temperature: 0 to 40 degrees Celsius
- Maximum Operating Humidity: 80% RH, non-condensing
- Storage Temperature: 0 to 50 degrees Celsius
- Maximum Storage Humidity: 80% RH, non-condensing
- Maximum Operating Altitude: 1000m above sea level
- Maximum Storage Altitude: 1000m above sea level
These specifications ensure the bracket performs reliably in typical industrial control rooms and electrical cabinets.
Industry Applications
This mounting bracket is ideal for:
- Control Panel Assembly: Securely holds Quantum I/O modules and processors on a rear rail, simplifying wiring and maintenance.
- System Upgrades: When retrofitting older Quantum racks, the 140XCP40200 provides a consistent mounting solution that matches existing 19-inch infrastructure.
- New Installations: For greenfield projects requiring a clean, organized cabinet layout, this bracket offers a cost-effective mounting option.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the 140XCP40200 bracket onto a standard 19-inch rear rail within your enclosure. Ensure the rail is properly grounded and aligned. Secure the bracket using appropriate hardware (not included). Verify that the operating environment stays within 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and humidity below 80% RH non-condensing. Avoid exposure to corrosive chemicals.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the bracket periodically for signs of corrosion or mechanical wear. Because the bracket operates in clean indoor environments, routine checks every six months are sufficient. Keep the area free of dust and moisture to maintain the specified humidity and temperature limits. The 140XCP40200 requires no lubrication or adjustments, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Compatibility & Integration
The 140XCP40200 is designed exclusively for the Modicon Quantum series from Schneider Electric. It fits all Quantum modules that require rear rail mounting, including I/O modules, power supplies, and processors. Verify your specific module dimensions against the bracket's 19-inch size and 0.8-inch depth before ordering.
