INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the
maximum operating temperature and provides good air circulation.Placing
the unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided. The
bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product. Do
NOT use solvents.Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the
aging process of the bezel.
INSTALLATION
The Ditak 8 meets NEMA4X/IP65 requirements for indoor use, when
properly installed. The units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed
panel. A sponge rubber gasket, mounting clip, two screws, and nut fasteners
are provided to install and seal the unit in the panel cut-out.
The following procedure assures proper installation:
1. Cut panel opening to specified dimensions. Remove burrs and clean panel
opening.
2. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel.
3. Slide nut fastener into slot on mounting clip and then insert mounting screw
through nut on both sides of mounting clip. Tip of mounting screw should
NOTproject through hole on clip.
4. Install Ditak unit through panel cut-out.
5. Slide mounting clip over rear of unit until clip is against back of panel. The
mounting clip and Ditak housing have a latching feature to hold the unit in
place until tightened.
Note: Hold the Ditak front bezel in place when sliding the mounting clip
into position.
6. Alternately tighten each mounting screw to ensure uniform gasket pressure.
Visually inspect the gasket for proper seal. The gasket should be
compressed approximately 75 to 80% of its original thickness.
7. If the gasket is not adequately compressed and the mounting screws cannot
be tightened any further, loosen mounting screws and insure that the clip is
latched as close as possible to the panel.
8. Repeat step #6 for tightening the mounting screws.
