4.1 Installation
This section describes the procedures and precautions for installing the GP Series units.
„Check the Installation Gasket’s Seating
It is strongly recommended that you use the installation gasket, since it absorbs vibration in addition to
repelling water.
For the procedure for attaching the installation gasket, refer to "5.3 Replacing the Installation Gasket".
„Creating a Panel Cut
Create the correct sized opening required to install the GP, using the installation dimensions given.
Decide the panel’s thickness based on the level of panel strength required.
SEE 5.3 Replacing the Installation Gasket (page 5-4)
• Before installing the GP into a cabinet or panel, check that the installation gasket is
securely attached to the unit.
• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may have scratches or dirt on
it, and could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Be sure to change the
gasket periodically (or when scratches or dirt become visible).

Panel Cut Dimensions (page 3-15)
• Check that the installation panel or cabinet’s surface is flat, in good condition and has no jagged
edges.
• Even if panel thickness is within recommend range for “Panel Cut Dimensions”, the panel could
warp, depending on panel’s material, size, and installation location of GP or other devices. To
prevent panel warpage, the installation surface may need to be strengthened.
