Configured for mechanical transition in motor control center applications, the Allen-Bradley 193-ECPM3 (193ECPM3 Panel Mount Adaptor) provides direct physical execution of relay mounting for standalone or DIN-rail configurations.

Catalog Identification

• 193-ECPM3: Base catalog number for the E3 Plus panel mount adaptor.

• Application: Designated specifically for mounting the 193-ECXE series electronic overload relays.

Physical Specifications

Control Logic and Backplane Compatibility

The 193-ECPM3 functions as a mechanical interface to isolate the 193-ECXE series relay from direct contactor mounting. It supports deterministic network integration by ensuring the relay remains positioned for backplane bus communication velocity and I/O density scaling requirements. By offloading the relay from the contactor, the adaptor maintains structural integrity in high-vibration environments, protecting the relay’s firmware flash compatibility and sensitive internal electronics from mechanical resonance or heat transfer from the contactor coils.

Ordering Information

• 193-ECPM3 Panel Mount Adaptor assembly.

• Mounting hardware (screws/clips) as provided by the manufacturer in standard packaging.

• Note: Electronic overload relay (193-ECXE) is not included.

Field Installation Guidelines

• DIN-Rail Mounting: Attach the adaptor directly to a standard 35 mm top-hat DIN rail (EN 50 022-35) until the spring-loaded release mechanism engages.

• Panel Mounting: Secure the adaptor to the enclosure backplane using appropriate fasteners through the integrated mounting holes.

• Relay Installation: Align the 193-ECXE relay with the adaptor slots; verify the physical latch mechanism secures the relay to prevent shifting during operation.

• Grounding: Ensure the DIN rail is bonded to the main enclosure ground to maintain continuity throughout the control cabinet assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this adaptor provide electrical signal routing? No, the 193-ECPM3 is a mechanical mounting base only; all electrical wiring to the 193-ECXE relay must be performed separately.

• Can this be used for other relay series? No, this adaptor is engineered specifically for compatibility with the 193-ECXE series footprint.

• Is the DIN rail mounting removable? Yes, the unit includes a release tab for extraction from 35 mm rails.

• Does this affect the environmental rating of the relay? The adaptor itself is a passive mechanical support and does not alter the IP/NEMA rating of the mounted relay.

• Are there torque requirements for mounting? Follow standard mechanical fastener torque guidelines for the selected mounting surface.

• Can it be used in high-vibration applications? Yes, the adaptor is designed to provide stable mounting in environments where contactor-mounted relays may suffer from physical stress.

• What is the material composition? The housing consists of industrial-grade molded thermoplastic for structural rigidity and dielectric isolation.

• Are there additional mounting accessories required? No, the 193-ECPM3 includes the necessary mechanical interfaces for DIN or panel deployment.
