3.2  Mounting the device 
3.2.1  Notes on mounting 
 
The device must be mounted securely. 
Inadequately dimensioned fasteners may cause the device to fall down.  
Serious physical injury may result. 
•  Make sure that fasteners are adequately dimensioned during installation. Make sure to 
consider the weight of the device and the forces acting on the device when 
dimensioning. This applies in particular to dynamic load of the device. All fasteners 
including mounting surfaces, support arm systems, and fastening elements such as 
screws must be able to carry at least four times the weight of the device. 
•  Observe any further statutory specifications applying at the location of use of the device 
and further applicable regulations with regard to fastening the device. 
 
Pay attention to the torque specifications in the following sections. 
 
Degree of protection for overall device 
If you are using a support arm system or a pedestal system that does not have IP65 degree 
of protection or Enclosure Type 4X / 12 (indoor use only), IP65 degree of protection and 
Enclosure Type 4X / 12 (indoor use only) are voided for the entire device.  
Spray and water jets as well as penetrating substances can then damage the device. 
•  Only use a support arm system or pedestal system that has IP65 degree of protection and 
Enclosure Type 4X / 12 (indoor use only). 
 
IP65 degree of protection and Enclosure Type 4X / 12 (indoor use only) at risk 
If there are no seals on the mechanical interfaces or if they are damaged, IP65 degree of 
protection and Enclosure Type 4X / 12 (indoor use only) is at risk.  
•  Check the condition and proper seating of the seals.
