The following is a listing of precautionary notes that should be noted and followed for optimal equipment operation.

• 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.

• 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.

• To prevent equipment damage caused by inadvertent contact being made with the system when not in use; such as bumping into the receiver/ITA

assembly with a box, chair or electronic equipment; for example, using ITA and receiver protective covers is highly recommended.

PRECAUTIONARY NOTES

FORCEFUL ENGAGEMENT OF THE ITA AND RECEIVER MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE SYSTEM (MODULES,

RECEIVER, ITA AND CONTACTS).

IN THE EVENT OF OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES, A TRAINED VPC

TECHNICIAN SHOULD BE NOTIFIED TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL

DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM FROM IMPROPER HANDLING.

DETERMINE SLIDE KIT LENGTH

1. The slide kit should be chosen based on the distance from rail to rail inside the

rack. Measure dimension A to determine the proper slide kit length, ensuring

the slide length does not exceed dimensions A + B (Figure A).

SLIDE INSTALLATION

1. Determine rack location to mount slides and receiver. Cables will need to be

long enough to connect to instrumentation and allow for the slides to fully

extend without putting tension on the cables.

2. Install slides using manufacturer’s instructions (included with slide packaging

or online at accuride.com). Make sure to use mounting holes in matching

locations on each side. Do not fully tighten down the 4 front and 4 rear

mounting screws at this time (Figure B).

4. Remove the innermost section of each slide by extending the slides fully,

depressing the blue tab, and continuing to extend the inner sections of each

slide until it is free from the slide assembly (Figure C).

5. If applicable, install the instrument bracket or cable tray onto the inner

sections of the slide kit. Following the instrument bracket and/or cable tray

5. During regular use of the 9025TR, when not extended away from the

rack on the slides, the user should secure the receiver to the rack.

This prevents the unit from uncontrolled slide motion. To ensure the

receiver is correctly aligned with mounting hole locations on the test

rack, temporarily fasten the receiver to the rack using its captive 10-

32 screws. Be sure to provide support beneath the platform, liing it

slightly to ensure an even screw engagement (Figure F).

6. Now, complete installation by fully tightening the previously

installed screws in this order:

1. 8-32 platform mounting screws ( Figure D).

2. 8-32 button head platform mounting flange screws (Figure C).

3. Front slide mounting screws (from slide mounting procedures).

4. Rear slide mounting screws (from slide mounting procedures).

7. With the remaining installation screws now secure, you may release

the receiver and platform from the rack by unscrewing the 10-32

captive screws. Slowly slide the receiver out.

8. To ensure proper support when extending the receiver and platform

away from the rack, stop the receiver and platform at approximately

6” from the rack.

9. Reach around to the rear of the receiver to the slides underneath on

both sides. Manually extend the middle section of the slides forward

until fully underneath the platform. The receiver and platform

may then be extended while holding this middle slide in place. If

completed properly, the middle section of the slides will remain

underneath the platform and oer the strongest support.

Prior to engaging an ITA with the receiver for the first time, ensure all modules (ITA and receiver) are properly installed. This includes inspection of modules to

ensure proper mounting and to verify module positioning. Modules must be installed so that Pin 1 of each respective mating receiver and ITA module pair are

adjacent. VPC recommends that Pin 1 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.

ENGAGEMENT

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.
