Figure A. D1’s module installation side, indicated by the in-set face
for the module.
Figure B. D1’s mating face, indicated by the smooth
surface surrounding the module.
PART IDENTIFICATION
1. Locate the frame without guide pins or blue
bushings. This is the receiver frame.
2. Rotate the receiver until the in-set face of the
frame is visible (Figure A). Note the two mounting screw
holes in the interior of the receiver. This is the module
installation side. Any wiring will be visible from this side.
Patchcords or cable sets will exit this side of the receiver.
3. Rotate the receiver until the smooth face of the
frame is visible (Figure B). Note the mounting
screw hole exits on this side. This is the mating
face of the receiver when an iCon module is
installed.
4. The D1 receiver is equipped with guide bushings
(Figure B). These bushings accept the guide pins
of the ITA frame.
NOTE: More information on module installation is provided on
page 5 of this User Manual.
NOTE: The standard D1 receiver is not equipped with
floating bushings in each corner. Floating bushings are
only avialable on the ITA.

D1 RECEIVER AND ITA ENGAGEMENT
RECEIVER • PART #   
ITA • PART #   
Figure A. The ITA and Receiver Disengaged
Figure B. The ITA and Receiver Engaged
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Align the ITA’s guide pins with the receiver’s guide bushings.
2. Push the ITA onto the receiver.
NOTE: When configuring the engagement settings for your test interface,
be sure to leave a small gap between the ITA and receiver frame for
the full-mated position. The gap will prevent continual contact of the
frames upon mating. VPC recommends a maximum gap distance of
0.025” [.635 mm].
NOTE: The guide bushings are positioned o-center to prevent engagement
mismatch.
NOTE: For optimum performance and system longevity, VPC recommends
distributing the load evenly in all interfaces.
NOTE: To determine the maximum mating force for your
configuration, VPC recommends contacting a VPC Field Application
Engineer online at vpc.com.

D1 RECEIVER PANEL MOUNTING
PART #   
Figure A. Recommended panel cutout.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the mounting surface using the dimensions
provided in Figure A.
2. Attach the D1 receiver to the panel with the provided M3
Phillips head screws.
3. Torque the screws to 6.5 in-lbs [0.73 Nm].
4. The D1 receiver frame is designed to be used in a modular
configuration. As long as the minimum distances between
frames are observed, multiple receiver frames can
be engaged simultaneously as a single test interface.
These frames can be placed adjacent to one another in
horizontal or vertical configurations.

D1 MODULE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
RECEIVER • PART #   
ITA • PART #   
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
NOTE: The receiver strain relief plate or the ITA cover may need
to be removed prior to installing or removing an i1 module.
Refer to page 6 for instructions on how to perform these steps.
NOTE: If the application requires, receiver modules can be installed in the ITA
and ITA modules in the receiver. If this is done, you must be sure to switch
the contacts as well (receiver contacts in a receiver module and ITA
contacts in an ITA module). You should also use the keying kit to prevent
attempted mating to a receiver or ITA that has a standard module
orientation.
WHEN USING THE D1 IN THIS CONFIGURATION, THE ALIGNMENT
PINS CAN DAMAGE THE ITA CONTACTS IF THE ITA
IS NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH THE RECEIVER.
USE CAUTION WHEN ENGAGING THE ITA TO AVOID
DAMAGING PINS.MODULE INSTALLATION
1. Place the module in the receiver or ITA until the upper and lower mod-
ule screws touch the mating holes in the inner frame. Install the module
such that Position 1 is located at the top of the receiver/ITA frame.
2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the top screw 1 to 2 full revo-
lutions while pushing lightly against the face of the module.
3. Maintain this pressure while tightening the bottom screw 1 to 2 full
revolutions.
4. Repeat this sequence until the module is seated. Torque both screws
1.5 in-lbs [0.16 Nm].
MODULE REMOVAL
1. Loosen the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions then loosen the bottom
screw 1 to 2 full revolutions.
2. Repeat this sequence until the module is separated from the receiver or
ITA.
Figure A. D1 receiver and D1 receiver module.
The D1 receiver is designed so the modules mount from the rear.
This allows the test technician to easily mount wired cable assem-
blies without having to route the connectors through the receiver
frame.
Figure B. D1 ITA and D1 ITA module.
Figure A. D1 receiver strain relief.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using the Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the strain relief to the back
(wiring) side of the D1 receiver with the 2-56 screws and nuts provided
(Figure A). Place the nuts in the keying positions from the front side of
the receiver.
2. Torque screws to 2 in-lbs [0.23 Nm].
NOTE: Four wiring ties are included with the strain relief for
restraining wires.
NOTE: If using 8AWG or 10AWG wire, the iCon Strain Relief Kit, Part # 310 113 582,
will be required. Install patchcords into module before attaching strain relief.
