Preparing the mounting cutout
Note
Stability of the mounting cutout
The material in the area of the mounting cutout must provide sufficient strength to guarantee
lasting and safe mounting of the HMI device.
To achieve the degrees of protection described below, it must be ensured that deformation
of the material cannot occur due to the force of the mounting clips or operation of the device.
Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the HMI device can only be guaranteed if the following
requirements are met:
●
Material thickness at the mounting cutout for a protection rating of IP65 or Front face
only Type 4X/Type 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm to 6 mm
●
Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout:
≤
0.5 mm
This condition must be met for the mounted HMI device.
●
Permitted surface roughness in the area of the mounting seal:
≤
120 µm (R
z
120)
Compatibility of the mounting cutout to other HMI devices
The mounting cutouts of the following HMI devices are compatible with the mounting cutouts
of the following predecessor devices:
