■ Year of construction
Liability disclaimers The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for damage which occurs if
■ instructions in this manual are not complied with;
■ the truck is not operated according to its intended use (see above),
■ the truck is assembled, connected or operated improperly,
■ accessories or spare parts are used which have not been approved by the
manufacturer,
■ the truck is converted without the manufacturer’s approval, or if inadmissible
parts are added.
No liability is accepted for parts provided by customers, e. g. voltage transformers.
Packaging ■ In case of exclusive transport by truck, the trucks are - depending on their
outside dimensions
– packaged in cardboard boxes and delivered on a pallet (Fig. 7),
– fixed directly to the pallet and packaged in protective PE film
– or delivered in wooden crates with PE protective film (Fig. 8).
■ For sea transport, the units are packed additionally in sealed aluminium foil with
desiccant and in a closed wooden case with tightly closed wooden base (also
for container transport).
■ In case of air transport, the panels are packed in wooden crates with a protec-
tive PE film hood (dust protection) or in wooden cases, also with closed wooden
bases, however without protective hoods (dust protection, Fig. 8).
Important:
The weight of the entire transport unit is indicated on the packaging.

3.2 Delivery
■ Handle shipping units carefully when unloading and unpacking them.
■ Shipping units must be checked upon receipt. Any damage which may have
occurred in transit must be recorded and reported to the manufacturer immedi-
ately.
■ The consignment must be checked for completeness based on the shipping
documents. The supplier must be notified in writing without delay about any
possible deviations.
3.3 Transport
■ Transport with forklift truck:
The packing units may only be transported complete with pallet. Move the forks
completely under the whole pallet (Fig. 9). The truck must be fixed safely on the
pallet.
3.4 Storage
WARNING
Risk of injury due to sliding or tilting of transport units. Sufficient stability and evenness of the
Fig. 9 supporting area (floor) must be ensured.
Transport with forklift truck
The transport packaging is not intended for storage.
If the trucks are not commissioned immediately after delivery, they can be stored
under the following conditions:
■ only indoors
■ Trucks must be sealed with desiccant in aluminium foil and be packed in a
wooden case (storage for max. two years after the date of packaging).
+ 40 ºC
– 25 ºC

DANGER
Mortal danger due to high voltage. Before performing maintenance
work, the system must be isolated from high voltage and earthed.
WARNING
Risk of injury during crane transport. The appropriate regulations for hoisting equipment must
be complied with. Make sure the crane mounting harness is sufficiently strong.
For crane transport, a crane mounting harness with rope (not a metallic steel rope)
of Ø 12-15 mm or a strap is used. Please take the weights into account:

1. Check the ratings indicated on the nameplate of the truck against those of the
appropriate panel.
2. Place the truck on the transport trolley rails.
3. Lock the truck on the trolley.
4. Couple the transport trolley to the panel.
5. Unlock the truck from the panel. Rack the truck into the panel.
– Trucks must latch into the lock rockers of the panels (Fig. 15).
– Trucks for PIX High panels are anchored in the panel by actuation of the
truck interlock (Fig. 16).
6. Release the transport trolley from the panel.

DANGER
Mortal danger due to high voltage. All active parts must be earthed.
Damaged paint Minor damage to the paint can be repaired using a commercially available touch-up
pen (standard colour RAL 7044 or corresponding colour) (see Chapter 8.1 "Auxiliary
products").
Checking ■ Check the truck for damage which might be due to transport or assembly work.
■ Compare the data on the nameplate (see Chapter 2.6) to the required rating
specifications.
■ Check supply voltage of the control and operating devices.
■ Check surfaces of insulating components for impurities. If necessary, clean (see
Chapter 7.3)
DANGER
The high-voltage supply must not be connected. All active parts must
be earthed.
Important:
■ For switching operations, comply with Chapter 6 Operation.
■ In case of failure of the power supply, the blocking coils (optional;
locking the truck in disconnected position) are in "locked" position;
thus, manual switching operations are blocked.

6.2 Interlocks
WARNING
Risk of injuries. Make sure you are acquainted with these interlocks before operating the truck.
Electromagnetic Manual racking-in and out of the truck can be locked optionally by blocking coils.
Interlock (optional) Electromagnetic blocking coils can be used for inter-panel as well as intra-panel
interlocks. They block the insertion opening for the crank handle for moving the truck
into its disconnected/service position.
Important:
■ In case of failure of the supply voltage, all electrical interlocks are
in their "locked" position. Measure: Re-establish power supply.
■ Please note the purchase contract and the switchgear-specific cir-
cuit diagram as regards the design of the interlocking systematics.
Mechanical interlocks The truck features mechanical basic interlocks to prevent operating errors:
WARNING
Disconnector truck UTX may only be racked in or out if busbar and outgoing feeder cable are
in de-energized condition.
Racking the truck in from The crank handle features an integrated slip coupling which prevents damage to the
disconnected into service drive mechanism due to an excessive torque. The slip coupling can react if the truck
position is moved to its final stop in disconnected or service position.
1. Open cover in panel (Fig. 23, item 1) and insert crank handle (2).
2. Turn crank handle (3) clockwise until the truck has been racked in. Remove
crank handle.

DANGER
Mortal danger due to high voltage. Before performing maintenance
work, the system must be isolated from high voltage and earthed.
Inspection It is recommended to check the truck visually on a regular basis and according to the
applicable national regulations, depending on the strain to which it is subjected.
Important:
In case of frequent condensation or air pollution (dust, smoke or cor-
rosive gases), the maintenance intervals must be adapted to the actual
conditions.
A visual inspection includes a complete check of the truck for contamination, con-
densation and damage, to be performed by certified staff.
Maintenance If there are signs of impurities or condensation, the truck must be cleaned in an
expert fashion (see Chapter 7.3 and 7.4) and subsequently checked for proper func-
tioning of the drives, electrical components, interlocks and position indicators (see
Chapter 6.3).
Slight contamination Clean using a dry, lint-free cloth. Depending on the degree of soiling, replace cloth
as often as necessary.
Racking mechanism ■ Spindle of the racking mechanism (Fig. 32, item 1). The spindle is accessible
from below
■ Geared wheels of the racking mechanism (only in case of motor-operated
drive) (Fig. 32, item 2). The geared wheels are accessible after the lower front
cover has been removed.

WARNING
Risk of burns. Fuse links may be hot! Mak sure to wear protective gloves.
Important:
Always exchange the three fuses, even if only one fuse has tripped.
1. The panel must be isolated from the power supply, and earthed.
2. Rack truck out onto the trolley as described as of chapter 6.3.
Metering truck MTX 12 kV 1. Lift the movable spring cup (Fig. 36, item 1) and remove the fuse (2).
Metering truck MTX 12 kV/17.5 kV 2. Check brand-new fuses for damage. Clean contact surfaces of the new fuse
for PIX High link and of the supports on the truck using a non-fibrous cloth, in case of severe
soiling, use a cleaning product.
3. Lift the movable spring cup and insert new fuse link.
Replace the two other fuses in the same way.
