Installation Procedures

Introduction
The installation gasket and screw fasteners are required when installing the panel.
Mount the panel in an enclosure that provides a clean, dry, robust, and controlled environment
(IP65 enclosure).
NOTE: The protection level of the product may vary from that shown on the label, as the value on
the label considers product aging.
An old gasket can lose its dust and drip resistance. Changing the gasket once a year or when
scratches or dirt become visible is recommended.
Gasket Setup Requirements
The gasket helps to maintain the protection ratings (IP65, IP20) of the panel, and provides
additional protection from vibration.
Step Action
1 Before installing the panel into a cabinet, check that the installation gasket is securely attached
to the panel.
2 A gasket that has been used for a long period may have scratches or dirt on its surface, and
could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Change the gasket once a year or when
scratches or dirt become visible.
3 Make sure that the gasket is inserted into the bottom face of the panel.
Panel Setup Procedure
Step Action
1 Check that the installation panel or the surface of the cabinet is flat, in good condition and has
no jagged edges. Metal reinforcing strips may be attached to the inside of the panel wall, near
the panel-cut, to increase the rigidity of the panel.
2 Decide on the installation of the thickness of the panel based on the level of panel strength
required: 1 mm (0.04 in) to 5 mm (0.19 in).
3 Be sure that the ambient operation temperature and the ambient humidity are within their
designated ranges. (When installing the panel in a cabinet or enclosure, the ambient operation
temperature is the internal temperature of the cabinet or enclosure.)
4 Be sure that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the panel to exceed its standard
operating temperature (see page 22).
5 When mounting this product vertically, ensure that the right side of this product faces up. In other
words, the DC power connector should be at the top.
