CT150 15" LCD Monitor – Industrial
Mount Bezel Installation
Overview
The “Industrial Mount Bezel” is a user-installable bezel option for the CT150 15" LCD Chassis
monitor. When properly installed, the industrial bezel creates an IP 66 level seal between the bezel
and the touch screen on the display, providing ingress protection against dry and wet contaminants.
When properly integrated, both the bezel-to-touch screen seal (inner gasket) and the bezel-to-cabinet
seal (outer gasket) will provide an IP66 level of protection. This seal has been tested to IP66 sealing
standards by an independent laboratory. However, due to 3M’s inability to control the enclosure
surface quality and finish against which the outer gasket will seal, we cannot guarantee an IP66 level
of sealing in this location. Each integration is unique and one needs to ensure that the housing surface
against which the outer gasket will seal is reasonably smooth, planar and free from deep scratches
which radiate across the sealing band. The gasket used in this location is relatively soft and
compliant, and therefore is forgiving of minor surface irregularities. However, it is always preferred
to have the surface as smooth and planar as possible around the entire perimeter of the bezel to ensure
high seal integrity, as well as preventing torsion of the bezel (forcing it out of plane) during
installation. Generally, a surface finish comparable to that of an average counter top laminate is an
ideal sealing surface for this type of gasket.

Bezel Installation Instructions
1. Place a soft, clean towel on a solid, flat work surface to prepare for the bezel installation.
2. If your CT150 monitor has another bezel on it, you must first remove the existing bezel from the
monitor prior to installation of the industrial bezel. If necessary: Place the monitor face down on
the protected work surface. Remove the bezel affixing screws from the back of the unit (screw
locations shown in figure 1 below) and gently separate the bezel from the display.

3. Unpack the industrial mount bezel from its box and plastic bag. You should note that there are
two gaskets mounted to the bezel at the factory. The inner gasket provides the ingress protection
seal between the bezel and touch screen. The outer gasket is installed to provide an ingress
protection seal between the larger diameter of the bezel and enclosure into which the monitor will
be mounted.
