Caution
MPA valve terminals can become distorted and therefore
damaged if they are mounted on an uneven pliable sur
face.
·
Fit the MPA valve terminal only onto a flat fixed surface.
Overstressing the fastening holes, bending the MPA valve
terminal with CPX terminal or internal vibrations can cause
damage.
·
If the MPA valve terminal has more than 5 sub−bases,
use additional wall brackets of type: VMPA−BG−RW. The
supply units have threaded holes to enable the wall
brackets to be fitted.
·
In these cases use the additional fastenings for the CPX
terminal (see instructions in the manual for the CPX sys
tem).
Fitting Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the fastening surface is flat and that it can
support the MPA valve terminal (weights see appendix A,
TableA/1).
Make sure there is sufficient space for connecting the power
cables and compressed air tubing.
2. Drill mounting holes in the fastening surface.
3. Fasten the MPA valve terminal with M4 or M6 screws of
sufficient length to the fastening surface.
