Mounting cutout
The HMI device can be installed in control cabinets (see table for material thickness). No
special tools are required for mounting. The HMI device can be operated both in landscape

of the stainless steel front of 45°, liquids are able to drain off even in an inclined installation
position of +/-35°.
The following conditions apply to the mounting cutout:
The front material has to consist of sheet steel or material of a strength that corresponds to
at least the stability of sheet steel.
