We can only replace the Flex58 drives to the ATV61 drives if they are being used on Trane enclosed systems. This does not apply to the old Econoflex or MCC Flex58 drives.
After you remove the Flex58 drive it will leave a large hole which will need to be covered and the ATV61 will be mounted on the back plane. Schneider Electric does not offer any retro kits for this procedure.

If the end customer is unable to do this conversion they will need to replace this complete drive with an ~~enclosed EFlex 61 drive~~ ATV212 S-Flex or ATV660 enclosed drive.
