5.5 Mounting the SIMOTION panel front
5.5.1 Overview of the mounting of SIMOTION panel fronts
With the exception of the SIMOTION P012T variant, the panels can be fastened either with
screws or with clamps. Latch fasteners have to be used for the SIMOTION P012T variant.
IP65 degree of protection can be achieved by using mounting brackets (in conjunction with a
surrounding seal).
Suspended screw mounting ensures only IP54 degree of protection.
Mounting position
As a unit with the Panel PC Remote Kit, the SIMOTION panel front may be installed in a
vertical position with a maximum inclination of ±20°.

5.5.2 Securing the panel front with clamps
Skip this step if you have selected "Fasten panel front with screws" (Page 90).
Securing with clamps
A mounting kit containing six metal bar-type brackets with setscrews is provided for securing
the clamp. The metal brackets are hooked into the slots on the panel front next to the seal
area and are secured to the mounting surface using the setscrews supplied.
The SIMOTION P012T panel front can only be installed using latch fasteners.
Tension jacks with setscrews
The side view of the mounting brackets shows the projections that hook into the mounting
slots on the panel front.
