Preparing the mounting surface — surface mounting

Surface mounting requires one cutout hole. When the display is surface mounted, the glass/bezel will protrude from the mounting surface.

Note

The following procedure is for preparing the mounting surface for surface mount installations. For flush mounting details, refer to: Preparing the mounting surface — flush mounting

Note

Before preparing the mounting surface, ensure that:

  • your selected location meets the location requirements. For details refer to: Location requirements

  • you have identified cable connections and the route that the cables will take.

  1. On the mounting surface, mark the Cutout line identified on the supplied mounting template.
  2. On the mounting surface, mark the 4 fixing screw hole locations identified on the supplied mounting template.
  3. Use a drill and an appropriate size drill bit or hole cutter to cut out the corners of the Cutout line.

    The corner diameters for the displays are:

    • 33.00 mm (1.30 in) — Axiom® 2 Pro 9.

    • 37.00 mm (1.46 in) — Axiom® 2 Pro 12.

    • 37.00 mm (1.46 in) — Axiom® 2 Pro 16.

  4. Use a jigsaw or similar cutting tool to cut out the remainder of the cutout area.
  5. Drill the 4 fixing holes at the marked location, using a 3.7 mm (5/32”) drill bit.
  6. Use a half round file and/or sandpaper to smooth out rough edges or burs on the cutout hole.
