WARNING: To replace installed modules with new ones, remove the installed modules and wait for the controller to
notify communication error with the extracted modules. Push the new modules firmly inwards — one module at a time,
allowing a 2s delay — to plug them in the power shelf. Start with the shelf position with lowest ID number. Lock their
handles.
Removing Blind Panels
Release the panel’s upper left and right corners by inserting a small screwdriver into the
panel’s upper left gap, and carefully press down and out to release the locking tabs.
Repeat on the upper right gap. Refer to the Flatpack2 system’s quick start guide for more
information.

CAUTION: Double Pole / Neutral Fusing. There is a Mains fuse in each line.
CAUTION: The modules may be warm, but do not hand-carry them by their handles. Open the handles before
inserting them into the power shelves (hot-pluggable).
Mount blind panels in unused module locations.
CAUTION: Do not relocate already hot-plugged modules to other positions in the power shelf.
New Flatpack2 modules must be hot-plugged in the power shelf, one at time, starting with position 1, 2, 3 and so on.
This is usually performed before shipment of the system. Read your system’s quick start guide for more information.
