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)

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.
