bezel provides a IP65 watertight seal between the panel cutout and the
applications platform housing.

In addition, the installation kit includes:

• A bracketed wiring connector for screw-type connectors (see Figure 5,
page 5), or

• I/O cables and connectors (see Figure 7, page 7)

1. Insert the Model 3300/3500 through the cutout.

2. Slide the frame over the housing.

3. Insert the posts on the brackets into the rails on the housing.

4. Tighten the screws evenly to 10 to 14 inch-pounds (1,13 to 1,38 Nm)
to ensure a watertight seal between the gasket and the panel.
