Panel mounting and construction information
The series 48M mounts easily into panels of minimum 1.3 mm and maximum 3.8 mm thickness. Front panel sealing to IP67 is
achieved by a sealing o-ring fitted to the body of the switch before it is inserted into the panel hole cut-out. It is held onto the
panel by means of a brass hex nut tightened down to a torque of 1-2 Newton Metre to achieve the correct sealing pressure
.
