The existing machine determines the available support plane, cable access, enclosure boundaries and replacement procedure. A familiar output voltage does not make a different mechanical format interchangeable.<\/p>\n<p>This guide uses the source-qualified WEHO <strong>LRS-35-24<\/strong> as a chassis-mount example. A separately specified DIN-rail supply would follow its own documented mounting method. The LRS sample is not a DIN product: adding a rail beneath it in an illustration or a purchasing sketch does not establish an approved adapter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
