Assemble the contact to the respective wire. NOTE: For more information concerning the contact assembly process please see contact assembly instructions in Section 1 of this User’s Manual. 2. Install the contact into the module and insert lock washer (Figure A). 3. Use the ⅜” wrench to tighten nut to 8 in-lbs [0.90 Nm] (Figure B). CONTACT REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. Remove the module from the receiver frame. NOTE: For more information concerning the process of removing the module from the receiver frame, see module installation and removal instructions in Section 4 of this User’s Manual. 2. Loosen nut using ⅜” wrench. 3. Pull contact away from module. Figure A. Assemble contact, lock washer, and nut. NOTE: The process shown here uses standard/90 series modules. The same process is used for modules from other series. NOTE: If you are using a hybrid module, you may need to reference the User’s Manual for the other contact type for extraction instructions.

Place the module in the receiver or ITA until the upper and lower module screws touch the mating holes in the inner frame. Ensure that Position 1 is located at the top for systems in which the modules are oriented vertically or to the left for systems in which the modules are oriented horizontally. 2. Using a 3/32 Allen wrench, tighten the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions, while pushing lightly against the face of the module. 3. Maintain this pressure while tightening the bottom screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. 4. Repeat this sequence until the module is seated. Torque the screw to 4 in-lbs [0.45 Nm]. POSITION 1 REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. To remove, loosen the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. Loosen bottom screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. 2. Repeat this sequence until the module is separated from the receiver or ITA. Figure A. Receiver Module. NOTE: For optimum performance and system longevity, distribute the contact load evenly throughout the module. Figure B.

Please refer to the appropriate User’s Manual for instructions on how to perform these steps. 1. Place the module in the receiver or ITA until the upper and lower module screws touch the mating holes in the inner frame. Install modules such that Position 1 is located at the top of the ITA/ receiver frame. 2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions, while pushing lightly against the face of the module. 3. Maintain this pressure while tightening the bottom screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. 4. Repeat this sequence until the module is seated. Torque the screw to 1.5 in-lbs [0.16 Nm]. REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. To remove, loosen the top screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. Loosen bottom screw 1 to 2 full revolutions. Figure A. Receiver Module. 2. Repeat this sequence until the module is separated from the receiver or ITA. NOTE: For optimum performance and system longevity, distribute the load evenly throughout the module. Figure B.
