Replacing AKD6 Door Assembly
Sequence of replacement of door assemblies will remain the same for all AKD6 type doors.
1. De-energize/switch off the LVS section that is to be retrofitted.
2. Open the compartment door that is to be retrofitted.
3. Rack out the existing legacy AK/AKR breaker from the LVS.
4. Keep the door open for accessing the door mounting hinges. These are placed on the right side wall of the
moving frame in the LVS compartment.
5. The door hinge is mounted via 2/3-mounting pins that hold the door in place. [What does the “2/3” mean: size,
inches, type, etc.?] [How many pins are there per door?]
6. Lift the pin out of the hinge joint. This will provide access for removing the old door from the LVS compartment.
7. Unpack the new door assembly and mount it on the door mounting hinges. These are placed [found?] [or are
they already installed there?] at the right side of the moving frame.
8. Replace the hinge pins and secure the joints.
9. Insert the new retrofitted EntelliGuard R Retrofill circuit breaker into the compartment and slide the breaker into
the disconnected condition.
10. Close the new door and secure it to the compartment.
11. Rack-in the new retrofitted EntelliGuard R Retrofill in. [OK, what do I do with the old door? Discard it—salvage it
for something else?]
