Checking clearances
The following clearances are required around the HMI device to ensure sufficient self-
ventilation:
●
At least 15 mm to both the right and left of the mounting cutout (in x direction) to allow for
insertion of the mounting clips during installation
●
At least 50 mm above and 50 mm below the mounting cutout (in the y direction) for
ventilation
●
At least 10 mm behind the rear panel of the HMI device (in the z direction)
The following figure shows the clearances for mounting the KP700 Comfort in horizontal and
vertical formats as an example:
①
Clearance for mounting in horizontal format (all HMI devices)
②
Clearance for mounting in vertical format (Touch HMI devices only)
x
At least 15 mm distance
y
At least 50 mm distance
z
At least 10 mm distance
Note
Ensure that the maximum ambient temperature is not exceeded when mounting the device
in a cabinet and especially in a closed enclosure.
