Chassis Locking in Any Position

Description

The chassis can be locked in any position (connected, test, or disconnected position).

This locking function requires a mechanical adaptation of the chassis, explained in the following procedure.

When the chassis is locked, the racking handle cannot be inserted in the racking handle socket.

The chassis can be locked in any position:

• By up to three padlocks with shackle diameter 5–8 mm as standard.

• By one or two optional keylocks.

Keylocks can be used in addition to padlocks.
