Mechanical Installation
Mounting location
Operator Panels OP5 and OP15 are suitable for fitting into control cabinets
and dimensions and consoles. For this, the front panel must be provided with a mounting cut-
out (refer to Chapter 17). The front panel must not be thicker than 16 mm.
No other drilled holes are required for mounting. You will find mounting
depth details in Chapter 17.
Make sure at the location where you plan to install the OP that there is a
clearance of at least 50 mm beneath its housing to accommodate protruding
connectors.
Caution
!
To prevent the OP from overheating in operation,
Note
The IP65 degree of protection on the front panel can be insured only when
the gasket on the front panel of the OP fits properly.
Installing the OP
Insert the OP from the front into the prepared cutout. Attach the OP5 firmly
to the front panel from behind with the three screw type hooks enclosed with
the device; four screw type hooks are enclosed with the OP15 for this pur-
pose. Figure 14-1 shows the positions provided for this purpose at the rear of
the devices.

the device must not be exposed to direct sunlight (this simultaneously
prevents fading of the foil front) and
the ventilation slits in the device housing must remain free after moun-
ting.
