MOUNTING BRACKET DIMENSIONS
The dimensions for the included mounting bracket are below. This bracket will work with
varying panel thicknesses in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The primary force used to
secure the instrument to a panel is the “sandwich” action of tightening the bracket behind
through to the instrument bezel in front. The bracket includes a small mounting flange that can
be used to positively secure the bracket to the panel if desired. While not required for secure
mounting (the mounting screw clamps the panel between the bezel and bracket), securing the
bracket to the panel can make removal of the instrument easier by preventing the bracket from
falling behind the panel when removed. If you wish to use the mounting flange, simply match
drill it and rivet or bolt it in the desired spot. See the following section for details on where to
locate the bracket with respect to the hole in the panel. This flange can be trimmed if it is not
needed or if it interferes with other instruments.
