REMOVABLE ITA BACKSHELL
G6 ITA • PART # 410 104 273, 410 104 288
G10 ITA • PART # 410 104 272, 410 104 375
The G6 and G10 ITA are equipped with removable EMI-shielded backshells. The backshells slide up to provide access to wires and
connectors. To slide the backshell up, be sure to rst remove the screw(s) located at the base of the ITA. The G10 has two screws at the
base and the G6 has one. Once the backshell is put back in place be sure to secure the screw(s) back in place as the EMI shielding
provided by the backshell will not take effect otherwise.

ENGAGEMENT OF ITA WITH RECEIVER
Listed below are the required steps for proper engagement of the ITA to the receiver.
•Prior to engaging an ITA with the receiver for the rst time, it is good practice to check that all modules (ITA and receiver) have
been installed properly. This involves inspection of module ends - ensuring even height relative to one-another. While checking this,
the user should also verify the positioning of the modules. Pin 1 should always be at the top of both ITA and receiver modules. It is
crucial for all modules to be installed properly. Improper installation will cause damage to modules, and possibly to the ITA and/or
receiver. All ITA modules must match receiver modules. Upon engagement, ITA modules will mate with their respective receiver
modules.
•Following inspection, the ITA is ready for engagement with the receiver. The receiver should be checked one last time for any
foreign objects that may hinder engagement. With the ITA in the upright position and the receiver handle open, align guide pins
with bushings on the ITA and mate.
•The handle may now be moved to the upright/ closed position to engage contacts.
CAUTION
• When engaging the ITA with the receiver, caution must be taken to ensure
that the ITA is parallel with the receiver upon engagement and that the ITA
rollers are engaged at the same time.
• To prevent potential injury, care should be taken to avoid wrapping ngers
around the engagement handle.
• All power supplies for the system should be properly disconnected prior to
handling. When engaging, be sure that all foreign objects are removed from
the system.

In the event of difculties with
engagement, such as improper
alignment of modules or the ITA, a
trained VPC technician should be
notied immediately to avoid any
damage to the system.

KEYING PIN KIT USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
KEYING PIN KIT • PART # 310 118 112
The Keying Pin Kit (P/N 310 118 112) uses pins and screws to provide a way to isolate connectors to prevent operational mismatch.
By design, pins are to be used in the receiver, and the screws are to be used in the ITA. If the pins are used in the ITA, other
accessories such as protective covers will not function properly.

CABLE BUNDLE WIRE INFORMATION
G6 ITA • PART # 410 104 273
G10 ITA • PART # 410 104 272
The formula below can be used to calculate the maximum number of wires recommended for a cable bundle used with a max cable exit
of 1.59”. Using this formula, the table below shows a sampling of the maximum number of wires that will t in each of the two oblong cable
exits; (G6) or three oblong cable exits (G10); for example each exit will hold a maximum of 683 signal (20 AWG) wires OR 202 coax (RG316)
wires.
Formula to calculate approximate number of one wire type that will t in each cable exit:
N={D/d - 1)2(.907)
N=Number of Wires D=Diameter of
Converted Oblong
Bushing
d=Outside Diameter
of Wire
General Guidelines
Wire Type Outside Diameter of Wire (d) Number of Wires (N)
20 AWG Signal - Teon .056 683
10 AWG Power - PVF .160 72
RG316 Coax - 50 OHM .100 202
NOTE: Addition of shrink tubing or braid will reduce maximum number of wires through cable exit.

Max Oblong Cable Opening Diameter= 1.59”
Max Oblong Bushing Opening= 1.59” (D)

PRECAUTIONARY NOTES
•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.
•When engaging the ITA with the receiver, caution must be taken to ensure that the ITA is parallel with the receiver upon engagement
and that the ITA rollers are engaged at the same time!
•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.
•50 OHM ITA contacts engaged with 75 OHM receiver contacts will damage 75 OHM contacts.
•Use care when hinging a receiver down. Always maintain hand contact to prevent receiver from dropping suddenly,
resulting in damage to the system.
TROUBLESHOOTING
ITA engagement bearings/studs are not lining up with the engagement slots of the receiver
• Check the alignment of the ITA Frame. There is a possibility that the ITA Frame will have misaligned itself if it was dropped.
Contact VPC - user adjustments to system, unless authorized, will void warranty.
• Forceful engagement of the receiver and the ITA will result in serious damage to multiple parts of the system (modules, receiver, ITA
and contacts).
ITA frame is not lined up when engaging with receiver
• May indicate ITA was dropped and is out of alignment or a module is not mating properly. Remove and inspect the ITA for damage.
Contact VPC - user adjustments to system, unless authorized, will void warranty.
• Check for foreign objects/tools that may be obstructing proper engagement.
• Verify the orientation of the receiver and ITA modules.
• Inspect the mating modules to ensure they match. Power ITA module is mating with power receiver module, etc.
• Forceful engagement of the receiver and the ITA will result in serious damage to multiple parts of the system (modules,
receivers, ITA and contacts).
Excessive force is needed upon engaging the handle
• Damaged contact(s) can cause noticeable resistance when trying to engage and mate. Inspect all contacts for damage. If a
contact is replaced, the mating contact on the opposite side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
•Follow all steps above for an unaligned ITA frame, if force is still needed please contact VPC for assistance.
ITA will not engage with the receiver after diagnosing the above problems
• Contact VPC - user adjustments to the system, unless authorized, will void the warranty.
No continuity upon engagement
• If replacing a contact on the ITA, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring - replace if necessary.
• Check that all contacts are secured in modules.
• Verify that any 50 OHM ITA contacts are not engaged with 75 OHM receiver contact. This will damage the 75 OHM contact.
• Any 75 OHM ITA contact engaged with 50 OHM receiver contact will not create continuity/contact.
A “short” in the wiring upon engagement
• A damaged contact(s) can cause noticeable resistance when trying to engage and mate. Inspect all contacts for damage. If a
contact is replaced, the mating contact on the opposite side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring - 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.
