3.1.5  Preparing the mounting cutout 
Note 
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. 
Note 
Read the information in the section "Installation guidelines (Page 35)".  
Requirements for complying with degree of protection  
The degree of protection of the HMI device can only be guaranteed if the following 
requirements are met: 
•  Material thickness at the mounting cutout for a degree of protection IP65 or 
Enclosure Typ 4X/Typ 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm to 6 mm 
•  Permissible 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 mounting seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
z 120)
