Panel Mounting Frame 
To enable a neat and dirt free embedded installation of the transmitter, a 
panel mounting frame is available as an option (Vaisala order code: 
216038). The frame is a thin, flexible plastic frame for the transmitter, 
with adhesive tape on one side. 
The frame is used to hide any rough edges of the installation hole, and 
provide a more finished look. Note that the panel mounting frame is not 
intended to bear the weight of the transmitter, and does not include any 
mounting supports. 
Use the panel mounting frame as follows: 
1.  Use the frame as a template to mark the required size for the 
installation hole in the panel. 
2.  Cut the hole in the panel. 
3.  Mount the transmitter through the panel with suitable supports. 
4.  Remove the paper protecting the adhesive tape on the frame, and 
attach the frame around the transmitter. Refer to Figure 16 on page 
34.
