48  Operating Instructions, 03/2023, A5E46641410-AE 
 
 
The device is mounted to a pedestal or a support arm via the mechanical inte
rface with 
screws. Siemens AG assumes no liability for the consequences of incorrect installation.
 
 
If you do not install the HMI device in accordance with the specifications in these operating 
instructions, the warranty for the device is 
voided. 
  Always install the device according to these operating instructions. 
  If the seal on the backplane cover is damaged, it can be repaired. For a repair scenario, 
following the instructions in the section "Spare parts and repairs (Page 81)". 
 
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.
 
 
Damaging the seal when opening 
If the device has not been opened for a long time, the backplane cover or terminal 
compartment cover may stick to the seal of the enclosure. Opening the device with 
excessive force or with tools will destroy the seal. Spray and water jets as well as 
penetrating substances can then damage the device. 
Open the terminal compartment cover gently, without too much pressure.

Mounting with and without a base adapter
 
The SIMATIC PRO devices are designed for mounting with the base adapter. If you install the 
device without a base adapter, you must adjust the mechanical interface between the 
support arm or pedestal and the unit accordingly, including placement of an appr
opriate seal 
on the mechanical interface.
