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.
FORCEFUL ENGAGEMENT OF THE RECEIVER AND THE ITA WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE SYSTEM (MODULES, RECEIVER, ITA AND CONTACTS)! 10/17/19 10-1 For the most current information available, visit www.vpc.com...
The foremost precautionary 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.
