Extension
An extension of the valve terminal by one of more manifold sub-bases means that the tie rod system
must be extended. To do this, a corresponding number of extension pieces are screwed in between
the threaded rod and threaded sleeve. For manifold sub-bases or pneumatic supply plates, a corres­
ponding extension piece is available:

or replacing the right end plate
If manifold sub-bases are used only with electronics modules of the same type (è Chapter 2.4.1),
the following maximum number of valve positions results (è Tab. 7.2):

2) Maximum of 24 manifold sub-bases for valve terminal with Sub-D multi-pin plug connection with 25 pins (è Tab. 2.1)
3) Maximum of 12 manifold sub-bases for valve terminals with Sub-D multi-pin plug connection with 25 pins (è Tab. 2.1)
Tab. 7.2 Maximum number of manifold sub-bases
Dismounting
1. Loosen the electric and pneumatic connections and then remove the valve terminal from its mount­
ing surface (è Chapter 3.1).
2. Place the valve terminal on a flat working surface.
3. Loosen and remove the five screws of the tie rod on the right end plate using a size 6 ring spanner
(è Fig. 7.2). The loosened manifold sub-bases are now only held in place by the electrical linking.
