Description

The M5Core panel frame is a mounting accessory for fixing Core, Core2, and Tough series hosts onto a surface. It provides a clean front-panel structure for projects that need the controller secured in an enclosure, control cabinet, display panel, or installation board.

This M5Core panel frame supports two installation methods: screw fastening and double-sided adhesive bonding. The frame keeps the host aligned with the panel surface, while the included dimension guide card helps mark hole positions before cutting or drilling the installation surface.

The M5Core panel frame is lightweight, compact, and supplied with spacers, screws, adhesive tape, and a guide card, so it can support both temporary prototypes and more permanent device mounting work.

Notice: For Tough hosts, use the included 3M waterproof double-sided tape when a water-resistant barrier is needed. For Core hosts, insert the four plastic spacers into the frame corners so the device surface sits flush with the M5Core panel frame.

Other Content

Before installing the M5Core panel frame, place the host and frame on the target surface and confirm the display, buttons, ports, and cable route remain accessible. Use the guide card to mark the surface, then choose drilling, cutting, or adhesive mounting according to the panel material.

For Core host installations, fit the plastic spacers first and check that the front surface is level with the frame. For Tough host installations, clean the mounting surface before applying the waterproof tape so the M5Core panel frame bonds evenly.
