Mounting the DuraPoint OEM Module
To panel mount the DOM without sealing, all that is needed is a panel designed
with the necessary cut-outs for the faceplate/mouse and click buttons and four or
more fasteners (e.g., PEM studs, edge clips, hole clips, heat stakes, etc.). No other
live electric parts may be within a half inch (0.500”) of the components inside of the
DuraPoint. DuraPoint must be installed into a suitable enclosure. When installing
the DOM, the mounting fasteners should be tightened evenly to allow proper
seating. Over torque on the bolts should be avoided, as this could damage the
DOM. With proper seating and tightening, a liquid-and-particulate resistant
interface can be created. The DOM should be grounded through either of the two
upper PCB mounting studs as shown in Figure 7.08. When mounting the DOM
without a faceplate, the flexible shielding layer circuit should be connected to the
support plate. Simply wrap the circuit over the mounting hole nearest the circuit,
run a fastener through the mounting hole, and tighten the fastener down. Figure 7.08
details the location of the shielding circuit.
