Disassemble SmartSwitch

Remove Door and Front Panel

1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the 

four M5 screws holding the (top) front panel 
onto the SmartSwitch. 

• Set the screws aside; they will be used 

to install the new door.

• The door and vented panel are no 

longer needed and can be discarded.

2. For a 48-position SmartSwitch you will also 

need to remove the bottom door panel in the 
same manner.

• Do not discard the bottom door panel 

and screws; they will be reused. 

WARNING:

RISK OF DEATH BY ELECTRIC SHOCK! Failure to disconnect all power to the 
panel before working inside could result in serious injury or death.

AVERTISSEMENT :

RISQUE D'ELECTROCUTION! Travailler à l’intérieur du panneau sans avoir 
déconnecté le courant peut entrainer des blessures graves, voire mortelles.

De-energize main feed to the panel and follow appropriate Lockout/Tagout 
procedures as mandated by NFPA 70E. It is important to note that electrical 
equipment such as relay panels can present an arc flash hazard if improperly 
serviced. This is due to the high amounts of short-circuit current available on 
the electrical supply to this equipment. Any work must comply with OSHA 
Safe Working Practices.
