Checking clearances
The following clearances are required around the HMI device to ensure sufficient self-
ventilation:
• At least 15 mm to both the right and left of the mounting cutout (in x direction) to allow
for insertion of the mounting clips during installation
• At least 50 mm above and 50 mm below the mounting cutout (in y direction) for
ventilation
• At least 10 mm behind the rear panel of the HMI device (in z direction)
The following figure shows the clearances for mounting the HMI devices in landscape format
and portrait format using MTP1500 Unified Comfort Hygienic as an example:

Note
Ensure that the maximum ambient temperature is not exceeded when mounting the device
in a cabinet and especially in a closed enclosure.
Clearances on the front side for cleaning
Cleaning of the device must not be hindered by other plant components, such as switches or
signaling devices.
• Install the device in such a way that it is easily accessible for cleaning and cleaning tools.
• There should be a clearance of at least 20 mm between the front panel and other
