self-ventilation:
3.1.5

Making the mounting cut-out

NOTICE
Stability of the mounting cut-out
The material in the area of the mounting cut-out must provide sufficient strength to
guarantee the enduring and safe mounting of the HMI device.
The force of the clamps or operation of the device may not lead to deformation of the
material in order to achieve the degrees of protection described below.
Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the HMI device can only be guaranteed if the following
requirements are met:
● Material thickness at the mounting cut-out for IP65 degree of protection, or for
enclosure type 4X/type 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm to 6 mm
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cut-out: ≤ 0.5 mm
This condition must be fulfilled for the mounted HMI device.
● Permissible surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
A clamping frame is additionally available for mounting the KTP1000 Basic to panels with a
material thickness < 2 mm at the mounting cut-out. The frame enables you to achieve IP65
degree of protection or the protection class for enclosures type 4X/type 12.
