3.1.5  Making the mounting cut-out 
 
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 mounting 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 2 mm to 6 mm for IP65 degree of protection or 
Front face only Type 4X/Type 12 (indoor use only) degree of protection. The thickness is 
2 mm to 4 mm for the KP300 Basic mono PN. 
●  Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 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
z
 120) 
A clamping frame is additionally available for the HMI device KTP1000 Basic with a material 
thickness < 2 mm at the mounting cutout. The frame enables you to achieve degree of 
protection IP65 or Front face only Type 4X/Type 12.
