3.5 Preparing for Mounting
Select the HMI device mounting location
Points to observe when selecting the mounting location:
● Position the HMI device so that it is not subjected to direct sunlight.
● Position the HMI device such that it is ergonomically accessible for the user.
Choose a suitable mounting height.
● Ensure that the air vents are not covered as a result of the mounting.
● Observe the permissible mounting positions for the HMI device.
Configuration of the mounting cut-out
In order to guarantee the protective type corresponding with section "Insulation resistance,
protection class and degree of protection (Page 41)", the following must be complied with:
● The material at the mounting cut-out mu
st be distortion-resistant.
● Material thickness at the mounting cutout for IP65 degree of protection or for
enclosure type 4X/type 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm up to 6 mm
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cut-out: ≤ 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
