Removing / hanging the Door
The door is easily removed and re-hung. It may be useful
to remove the door for maintenance or service.
A key is required to operate the cam-style locks.
To remove the door, lift the entire door up so the lower hinge
pin is disengaged.
Angle the door out at the bottom and allow it to drop down
off the top hinge pin.
To replace the door, follow the reverse of the above
procedure.
Notice the top hinge pin is longer than the bottom, the
sequence noted above is the only easy way to hang or
remove the door.
Note: The door latches operate only with a key supplied
by EDI. If You need replacement keys, please
contact our Customer Service Dept.
Installation
For proper operation, the racks must be level, plumb and
square. If the rack is not level it will be difficult to install and
remove the dimmer modules.
Racks should be securely mounted to the floor and to the
wall if necessary. Holes are provided in the floor of the rack
for this purpose.
Lift top
in first
Then swing
bottom in
and let down
Operational Notes:
The modules are easily installed and removed without tools.
Since it is possible you have different types or rated
modules, we suggest the rack be closed and locked at all
times.
It is likely the modules are installed in a specific order to
correspond to the wiring of the rack. Keeping the door closed
and locked may prevent the modules being moved without
reference to this order.
The cooling efficiency of the rack may be seriously compro-
mised by the door being left open or removed, or by unfilled
dimmer slots. If this results in a dimmer(s) overheating, the
affected dimmer(s) will shut down and not operate until the
temperature has dropped to the operational temperature
range.

Maximum ambient operation and storage environ-
ment for this equipment is 104°F (40°C), with 90%
humidity, non-condensing.
Extreme caution is advised when liquids, food and
cigarettes are near any equipment.
During severe electrical storms, equipment should be
