90 SERIES USER MANUAL VIRGINIA PANEL CORPORATION
ENGAGEMENT OF ITA WITH RECEIVER
Listed below are the required steps to be taken prior to the engagment of the ITA and receiver.
•Prior to engaging an ITA with the receiver for the rst time, the user may nd it to be good practice to check to see if all the modules
(ITA and receiver) have been installed properly. This would involve the inspection of the module ends - ensuring the even height of all
module ends relative to one-another. While checking this, the user should verify the positioning of the modules themselves. It is crucial
for all modules to be installed properly. Install modulues such that Pin 1 is located at the
top of the ITA/receiver frame.
Improper installation will cause damage to the modules, and possibly to the ITA and/
or receiver. All ITA modules have to match the receiver modules. This means that upon
engaging, an ITA module will mate with its respective receiver module (Power ITA to mate
with Power receiver, etc.).
•To secure the receiver to the plug and play plates/rack system, the two top latches on
the receiver (one on each side) should be locked into the hooks on the plug and play
plate/rack system. The two top latches should be ush with the top of the receiver and
the two thumb screws should be tightened before engaging the ITA. See Figure A.
•For VXI type receivers (Part # 310104127, 310104194, 310104248, 310104299, 310104307,
& 310104279) — the two securing screws located near the top of the receiver (one on
each side), must be tightened prior to ITA engagement (Figure B).
•The handle may now be rotated to the lowered position.
•The ITA, upon being inspected, is now ready for engagement with the receiver. The
receiver should be checked one last time for any foreign objects that may hinder
the engagement. The top rollers of the ITA may then be placed onto the receiver’s
built-in “hangers” with the handle in the lowered position. The ITA may be engaged
with the receiver only if properly lined up - meaning that the ITA must be placed
onto the receiver in the upright position. Care should be taken to have the top/side
notch of the ITA align for “mating” with the keying tab on the top of the receiver.
•Due to additional equipment being added onto the ITA, the user may nd that the
ITA and receiver will not line up as described above. One reason may be that the
additional weight on the ITA will cause it to pull away from the receiver at the top.
The user should apply pressure to the top of the ITA to counter the weight that is
pulling the top of the ITA away from the receiver (with the receiver handle in the
“open” position). The user may then carefully engage the system by raising the
handle until the handle makes contact with the receiver.
IN THE EVENT OF COMPLICATIONS, SUCH AS IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OF MODULES OR THE ITA, A TRAINED
TECHNICIAN SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD ALSO APPLY
TO ANY DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY BE EXPERIENCED DURING ENGAGEMENT.
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!
ALL POWER SUPPLIES FOR THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE PROPERLY DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO HANDLING. CAUTION
SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WHEN ENGAGING, MAKING SURE THAT ALL FOREIGN OBJECTS ARE REMOVED
FROM THE SYSTEM.
