Page 129: Installation
Installation Installation The Touch Panels TP27 and TP37 are designed for vertical installation in the location and front panels of switching cabinets. Cut a mounting slot in the front panel in conditions preparation for installation of the Touch Panel. The thickness of the front panel must not exceed 6 mm.
Page 130: Mechanical Installation
TP27-6. Front panel TP27-6 Use a screwdriver to tighten the TP27-6 from the rear in the front panel Ë. Note: – Make sure the seal is seated correctly against the front panel.
Page 131 TP27-10 Rear of TP For mounting into a front panel, the TP27-10 must be fixed using screw-type clamps. Too high torques when tightening the threaded spindle may distort the equipment housing and, as a result, cause breaking of the Touch Screen.
Page 132 After correct fixing of the equipment, the seal remains visible owing to construction reasons. Caution Do not try to upset the seal until the TP27-10 and the front panel lie on each other at the same level. Any damages caused by too high torques when tightening the screw-type clamps of the TP27-10 are not covered by the warranty.
