4.4 Hinges
EasyCoder PF2i and PF4i have plastic hinges which are affi xed to the
bottom plate by an expanding rivet, similar to the rubber feet. Both front
hinges are always fi tted (even if the rear one of these two is only used in
case of a short side door), whereas the rear third hinge is only fi tted in
case of a long side door or an 8-inch Megatop door. Two holes at the rear
edge of the EasyCoder PF4i bottom plate allow the hinges of the 8-inch
Megatop canopy to be fi tted in a similar way.
The frontmost hinge is fi tted with a grounding foil to help avoid elec-
trostatic discharges. On the door, the paint is removed from the area in
contact with the grounding foil.
In EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial, the hinges are made of metal and
are permanently affi xed to the doors. They are fi tted to the bottom plate so
they embrace its edge and secured using #T20 Torx screws. There are no
grounding foils.
