 Locks
The operation of PIX is designed
to be completely safe. All the ope-
rations listed below are carried out
from the front panel, with the door
and panels closed.
> Connect or disconnect the with-
drawable module.
> Re-load the spring mechanism.
> Mechanically close or open the
circuit breaker or switch-discon-
nector.
> Open or close the earthing
switch. Access to the withdra-
wable module compartment
requires the use of a specialised
handle and key.
The interlocks were designed
with this operational ideology in
mind and add to the security of
the system by making it impossi-
ble to make unsafe operations.
