Opening Cabinet Door With Power On

The Rittal range of cabinets have a secret hole for opening the door when power is still on the machine. Insert a thin, cylindrical object to unlock the door

(Bend is optional)

Override Air Pressure Release

...This will override the safety feature of the air dump when the doors are opened, so ensure this adjustment is reversed when complete

The Air service Unit has an air bleed screw which is used to control the air flow rate.

If this is tightened fully clockwise, the air is not dumped and allows the clamps to remain open during a service

Electrically Override Guard Circuit

...This is a serious intervention in the Safety circuit so extra care should be taken. Make sure that machine is left in a safe condition
