VC recommends that in 1 always be positioned to the left in the receiver and A frames. All A modules must match the respective receiver modules. t is crucial for all modules to be installed properly Figure A Receiver and A. 1. he receiver should be checked for any foreign objects that may interfere with engagement. 2. After inspection, the A is ready for engagement with the receiver. he A may be placed onto the receiver platform and properly positioned relative to the receiver guide pins. nsure that the A 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 A into engagement position with the receiver. nce the handle reaches a positive stop at the end of its travel and latches into place, the modules are engaged. 4. pon completing use of the A, rotate the receiver handle to the open position, remove the A, 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. he receiver contacts are protected when either the A or receiver protective cover is engaged.

Consult with a VC application engineer for detailed contact loading information. f excessive force is required, this may indicate that the A is out of alignment or that a module is not mating with its intended module. Remove and inspect the A for alignment. Contact VC unauthorized user adjustments to system will void the warranty. Check for foreign objects/tools. Contact damage may provide enough resistance to notice. pon replacing a contact in the A, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.

19 9050 R AA: C 9 VRGA A CRRA RCAARY he following is a listing of precautionary notes found within this manual and otherwise. hey should be noted and followed for the equipment to operate at an optimum state. ever probe a contact without using a mating patchcord as a test lead. ever forcefully engage a system if there is an excessive amount of resistance on the handle. ever allow an A 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. ever apply pressure to the side as this may break either contact or tool. his also applies to forming and enlarging tools. t 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. he foremost precautionary step that needs to be taken is to protect the interface system from damage caused by people (bumping into the receiver/a assembly with a box, chair or electronic equipment for example). o prevent this, VC recommends engaging either the A or the receiver protective cover to the receiver when not in use. 9-2 For more information visit vpc.com
