Installation Installation instructions
Unpacking cubicles
The preparation of cubicles must be carried out

on the premises where they will be installed.
Remove the 4 handling lugs (1 and 2).
The circuit-breakers are delivered in cubicles

in a racked-out position.
Unpack the functional unit by removing the wooden

frame (8 screws), then the plastic cover.
Remove the cubicle packaging.
To avoid damaging the FU front panel

components, leave the protection foam
in place until the switchboard is in the
operation phase.
Placing cubicles in a switchboard Note: place switchboard cubicles

according to front panel drawings
and the single-line diagram.
Assembling, adjusting and fastening
Start by placing the cubicle located in
the middle of the switchboard (except in
the case of an extension of the existing
switchboard) then place the cubicles on
either side of it, according to the Civil
Engineering Guide indications.
Placing above the maintenance space
Do not remove any part of the cubicle.
Note: placing can be carried out by rolling or lifting.
Surface condition Floor flatness is such that a 2 meters rule moved over all surfaces and in all
directions, does not display a difference of more than 5 mm.
