ITA & RECEIVER ENGAGEMENT
Prior to engaging an ITA with the receiver for the rst time, ensure all modules (ITA and receiver) are properly installed. This involves
inspection of modules to ensure proper mounting and to verify module positioning. Module positions are shown in Figure A . Modules
must be installed such that Pin 1 of each respective mating receiver and ITA module pair are adjacent. VPC recommends that Pin 1
always be positioned to the left 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.
Figure A. 9025 Receiver and ITA.
1. The receiver should be checked for any foreign objects that may interfere with engagement.
2. After 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 for ward 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. VPC recommends use of both receiver and ITA protective covers to avoid potential contact damage.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL DAMAGE THE
MODULES, AND POSSIBLY THE ITA AND/OR
RECEIVER.
IN THE EVENT OF COMPLICATIONS, A TRAINED
TECHNICIAN SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY
TO AVOID ANY DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. THIS
APPLIES TO ANY DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY BE
EXPERIENCED DURING ENGAGEMENT.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ITA frame is not lined up when in the process of engagement with receiver
• This may indicate that the ITA is out of alignment or that a module is not mating with its intended module.
• Remove and inspect the ITA for alignment,
• Check for foreign objects/tools.
• Inspect the matching of modules -power ITA module to mate with power receiver module, etc.
Excessive force is needed to engage the handle
• With a typical contact load, approximately 35lbs force is needed to engage the handle. Consult with a VPC application engineer
for detailed contact loading information.
• If excessive force is required, this may indicate that the ITA is out of alignment or that a module is not mating with its intended
module.
• Remove and inspect the ITA for alignment. Contact VPC – unauthor ized user adjustments to system will void the warranty.
• Check for foreign objects/tools.
• Contact damage may provide enough resistance to notice. Upon replacing a contact in the ITA, the mating contact on the receiver
side should also be inspected and replaced if necessar y.
• Verify the orientation of the receiver and ITA modules.
• Inspect the matching modules - power ITA module to mate with power receiver module, etc.
ITA will not engage with the receiver after diagnosing the above problems
• Contact Vi rginia Panel Corporation – unauthorized user adjustments to the system will void the warranty.
No continuity upon engagement
• When replacing an ITA contact, the mating contact on the receiver side should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring and replace if necessary.
• Contact not secured in module.
• A contact may be damaged. Visually check all contacts for damage to potentially isolate damaged pin prior to checking for
continuity with a multi-meter.
A “short ” in the wiring upon engagement
• A damaged contact(s) may cause high resistance. Upon replacing a contact in the ITA, the mating contact on the receiver side
should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check wiring and 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.
Handle feels/appears loose
• Refer to drawing:
FORCEFUL ENGAGEMENT OF THE RECEIVER AND THE ITA WILL
RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE SYSTEM
(MODULES, RECEIVER, ITA AND CONTACTS)!

PRECAUTIONARY NOTES
The following is a listing of precautionary notes found within this manual and otherwise. They should be noted and followed for the
equipment to operate at an optimum state.
• 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. 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.
• The foremost precautionar y step that needs to be taken is to protect the interface system from damage caused by people
(bumping into the receiver/ITA assembly with a box, chair or electronic equipment for example). To prevent this, VPC recommends
engaging either the ITA or the receiver protective cover to the receiver when not in use.
