Slides are used with the 9050 and 9050TR receiver. The receiver
includes a mounting bracket kit and hardware. Choose your slide kit
based on the distance from rail to rail and verify that the slides will
not interfere with the rack enclosure. Each kit will support 200 lbs.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
/32 Allen Wrench
DETERMINE YOUR SLIDE KIT
1. Measure dimension A to determine the proper slide kit, ensuring the slide
length does not exceed dimensions A + B (Figure A).
LOCATE AND MOUNT SLIDES
1. Determine an appropriate location in the rack to mount the slides and
receiver. Keep in mind that the cables connecting to instrumentation not
placed on the instrument bracket will need to be long enough for the slides to
fully extend without putting tension on the cables.
NOTE: For a cable management guide visit our our e-learning
center online- vpc.com/products/elearning_center/Cable_
Management.
2. Install slides using the manufacturer’s instructions. A hard copy is included

4. Reinstall the inner slides.
• Slide the le mid-section of the slide all the way out, you will feel it lock
into position.
• Feed the matching inner slide into position and ensure the inner section
rides into place with the roller bearings seated into the groove.
• Push the inner slide in about 6-8 inches and then pull out the right side.
Slide the track of the mid-section over the right side of the inner slide.
• Pull the slide out until the position matches the le side.
• Reach to the back of the middle slides and release the spring locking
mechanism (Figure C).
NOTE: At this time, both sides should be partially installed
when it will no longer proceed into the rack because the
support tab on the instrument brackets will hit the slide
mounting bracket.
5. Rotate both instrument brackets inward so the support tabs can pass
the mounting brackets. Continue to push (install slides simultaneously)
into position. Remember to push the blue tabs to allow the inner slide to
continue to travel into the middle slide section.
NOTE: The middle section will not go into the outer section
until the inner section has been fully installed into the middle
section.
6. Tighten the slide mounting screws.

Prior to engaging an ITA with the receiver for the first time, ensure all modules (ITA and receiver) are properly installed. This involves inspection of modules
to ensure proper mounting and to verify module positioning. Module positions are shown in Figure A. Modules must be installed such that Pin 1 of each
respective mating receiver and ITA module pair are adjacent. VPC recommends that Pin 1 always be positioned to the le in the receiver and ITA frames. All ITA
modules must match the respective receiver modules. It is crucial for all modules to be installed properly.
1. The receiver should be checked for any foreign objects that may interfere with engagement.
2. Aer inspection, the ITA is ready for engagement with the receiver. The ITA may be placed onto the receiver platform and properly positioned relative to the
receiver guide pins. Ensure that the ITA roller bearings are aligned with the receiver slide openings when the receiver handle is in the open position.
3. Carefully rotate the handle forward to actuate the receiver slide engagement mechanisms, which will draw the ITA into engagement position with the
receiver. Once the handle reaches a positive stop at the end of its travel and latches into place, the modules are engaged.
4. Upon completing use of the ITA, rotate the receiver handle to the open position, remove the ITA, reinstall the receiver protective cover and rotate the handle
to the closed position.
5. Always protect the contacts when the system is not in use. The receiver contacts are protected when either the ITA or receiver protective cover is engaged.
VPC recommends use of both receiver and ITA protective covers to avoid potential contact damage.

ITA frame is not lined up when in the process of engagement with receiver
• This may indicate that the ITA is out of alignment or that a module is not mating with its intended module.
• Remove and inspect the ITA for alignment,
• Check for foreign objects/tools.
• Inspect the matching of modules -power ITA module to mate with power receiver module, etc.
Excessive force is needed to engage the handle
• With a typical contact load, approximately 35lbs force is needed to engage the handle. Consult with a VPC application engineer for detailed contact loading
information.
• If excessive force is required, this may indicate that the ITA is out of alignment or that a module is not mating with its intended module.
• Remove and inspect the ITA for alignment. Contact VPC – unauthorized user adjustments to system will void the warranty.
• Check for foreign objects/tools.
• Contact damage may provide enough resistance to notice. Upon replacing a contact in the ITA, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be
inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Verify the orientation of the receiver and ITA modules.
• Inspect the matching modules - power ITA module to mate with power receiver module, etc.
ITA will not engage with the receiver after diagnosing the above problems
• Contact Virginia Panel Corporation – unauthorized user adjustments to the system will void the warranty.
No continuity upon engagement
• When replacing an ITA contact, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring and replace if necessary.
• Contact not secured in module.
• A contact may be damaged. Visually check all contacts for damage to potentially isolate damaged pin prior to checking for continuity with a multi-meter.
A “short ” in the wiring upon engagement
• A damaged contact(s) may cause high resistance. Upon replacing a contact in the ITA, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be inspected and
replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring and replace if necessary.
Receiver and ITA will not disengage
• This may indicate that the engagement mechanism within the receiver is faulty -contact VPC immediately- user adjustments to system, unless authorized,
will void the warranty.
Handle feels/appears loose
• Refer to drawing:

RETURN TO INDEX
The following is a listing of precautionary notes found within this manual and otherwise. They should be noted and fol-
lowed for the equipment to operate at an optimum state.
• Never probe a contact without using a mating patchcord as a test lead.
• Never forcefully engage a system if there is an excessive amount of resistance on the handle.
• Never allow an ITA to drop as this may cause misaligned engagement and/or irreparable damage.
• Always insert and extract a contact insertion/extraction tool in line with the contact. Never apply pressure to the side as this may break either contact or
tool. This also applies to forming and enlarging tools.
• It is advisable that power to the interface system be disconnected prior to handling and maintenance.
• Caution should always be used when engaging, making sure that all foreign objects are removed from the system.
• The foremost precautionary step that needs to be taken is to protect the interface system from damage caused by people (bumping into the receiver/
ITA assembly with a box, chair or electronic equipment for example). To prevent this, VPC recommends engaging either the ITA or the receiver protective
cover to the receiver when not in use.
