Removing the Control Unit
3g
The Model 6 MCC is designed for convenient and quick control unit removal
and replacement. Follow these steps to remove control units:
1. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
the equipment, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Always use a
properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off.
2. Move the operator mechanism to the OFF position (see Figure 72).
3. Loosen the captive fasteners (see Figure 73) on the door and open it.
Use a properly rated voltmeter to check for live circuits. De-energize any
voltage sources.
NOTE: Arc-rated units have additional fasteners at the top-middle and
bottom-middle of the door that must be loosened to open the door (see
Figure 74).
4. Release the lock-in device located at the bottom front of the unit (when
supplied) by turning the screw on the front of the device until the locking
pawl is parallel to the bottom of the unit (see Figure 75).
