NOTE: The D3/D4 receiver can be configured with (3) 90 Series modules
or (4) iCon modules, depending on the application.
3. Both 90 Series modules and iCon Series modules are installed from
this side. The grooved side is also the mating face of the receiver
frame when 90 Series modules are installed. Patchcords or wiring,
will exit on the opposite side.
4. The mating face of the receiver is the smooth side of the frame
(Figure B). Note the mounting screw hole exits on this side. This is
the mating face of the receiver when iCon modules are installed.
Patchcords or wiring, will exit on the opposite side.

NOTE For information on locating the top and bottom of the ITA and
receiver frame and which side is the module installation side, reference
pages 1 & 2.
1. Locate pin 1 of the module. Each module has a specific pin 1 indicator
to ensure that the module is positioned correctly. For optimum
performance and cycle life install pin 1 at the top of the frame.
2. Place the module in the receiver or ITA frame until the upper and lower
module screws touch the mating holes in the inner frame.

GROOVE
Strain relief plates are designed to absorb the majority of the force put on
module cables and wiring in an interface configuration. Relieving the strain
on wiring helps to keep terminations intact and reduce wire wear.
Each strain relief plate allows for a variety of wire spacing options. Zip
ties are used to secure wires to the strain relief plate snugly, but without
force. For more information on strain relief, consult VPC's Strain Relief User
Manual, available on vpc.com.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
ASSEMBLY
1. Observe the groove indentations on each side of the module. (Figure A).
This grooved indentation is where the strain relief and the module will
interlock.
2. Separately, slide each half of the strain relief plate into the grooved Figure A. View of grooved indentations on part #510 150 115.
indentations. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the provided 4-40
screws into place (Figure B) to assemble the strain relief plate.

TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
ASSEMBLY
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the strain relief to the back
(wiring) side of the D3/D4 receiver with the two 2-56 screws provided
(Figure A). All strain relief plates for iCon Series modules fasten directly to
the receiver instead of the module.
3. Use the zip ties included with the strain relief plate to attach wiring to
the plate.
NOTE: Two 2-56 nuts are included with the strain relief plate; however,
they are not required for this application. The screws will enter the tapped
mounting screw holes instead.
NOTE: If using 8 AWG or 10 AWG wire, the iCon Strain Relief Stand-Off Kit,
Figure A.
p/n 310113582, will be required. Install patchcords into module before
attaching strain relief.
