Preparing the mounting cutout

NOTICE
Stability of the mounting cutout
The material in the area of the mounting cutout 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 cutout for a protection rating of IP65 or Front face
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 0.5 mm
● Permissible surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
Compatibility of the mounting cutout to other HMI devices
The mounting cutouts of the following HMI devices are compatible with the mounting cutouts
of the following predecessor devices:
