Cutti ng Tool

6. Preparations

See the Safety Guide before using the cutting tool.

The cutting can be performed from the front or the back of the panel door. It is recommended to make the cut-out 
from the front side of the door panel to avoid sharp edges and ensuring smooth installation of the new replacement 
relay.

The instructions in this document are based on making the cut-out from the front. The low-voltage compartment 
must be de-energized during the hole cutting procedure and installation of the new replacement relay.
Ensure that there is enough space to operate the cutting tool in all intended directions. Check the space required by 
the new replacement relay. The cutting tool operation needs space around the cut-out.

1. Remove the existing device.

2. Release the signal connectors (not their wires). 

3. Release the wires from current/voltage connector.

The used current/voltage connector wires are
reused (in specified connector poles) with the new
replacing device.
