3.1.4 Preparing the mounting cutout
Stability of the mounting cutout
rial in the area of the mounting cutout must provide sufficient strength to
guarantee the enduring and safe mounting of the device.
To achieve the degrees of protection described below, it must be ensured that deformation of
the material cannot occur due t
o the force of the mounting clips or operation of the device.
Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the device can only be guaranteed if the following requirements
are met:
• In order to achieve IP65 protection degree, the material thickness for the mounting cutout
should be: 2 mm to 6 mm
• Permissible deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 0.5 mm
This condition must be fulfilled for the mounted device.
• Permissible surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
z 120)
