i2 MICRO iCON RECEIVER PART IDENTIFICATION
PART # 310 130 XXX
Figure A points out distinguishing features of the i2 Micro iCon receiver so that the top
and bottom can be identied. Features to look for are the numeric keying receptacle
on the top side and the alpha keying receptacle on the bottom. By holding the
i2 Micro iCon receiver, the top can be determined by holding it so the letters and
numbers are readable.
The front and rear of the i2 Micro iCon receiver are shown in Figure B. The front has
a polarizing feature which prevents the ITA and receiver from being engaged in the
incorrect orientation. The front of the i2 Micro iCon receiver can be identied as the
side with the latching feature. The i2 Micro iCon receiver is a solid state receiver/
module.
The front side mates with the i2 Micro iCon ITA. Wires exit the i2 Micro iCon receiver
from the rear side.

PART # 310 130 XXX
TOOLS REQUIRED
Phillips Head Screwdriver
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the mounting surface using the dimensions
provided in Figure A.
2. Attach the i2 Micro iCon receiver to the panel with
the provided 2-56 Phillips head screws and nuts
(Figure B). Torque screws to 2 in-lbs [0.23 Nm].
NOTE: If the mounting surface is thicker than 0.125” [3.18
mm], longer screws may be needed.

NOTE: M2 hardware can be used in place of the pro-
vided 2-56 hardware.
NOTE: The dimensions shown reect using a laser
cutting or punch press process. If using conventional
machining processes the 3.49” [88.65] dimension will be
3.69” [93.73] and a .09” [2.29] radius needs to be added
to the corners.
Figure A. Recommended panel cutout.

RECOMMENDED SLEEVING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent protective sleeving slippage for cable assemblies, VPC recommends lacing to secure the wire to sleeve
or wrapping with silicone tape. We have internal procedures to resolve these types of issues in order to provide optimal
outcomes for your system. Please contact us with any questions. Below are VPC best practices for securing protective
sleeving.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Blunt Sewing Needle
Wax Lacing Tape
Cable Sleeving
Silicone Tape (optional)
OPTIONAL CABLE SLEEVING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fold the end of the sleeving under.
2. Sew the sleeving to the wires with lacing tape using a
‘gure 8’ pattern for a better hold (Figure A).
3. Use silcone tape to increase cable diameter, if necessary,
for a secure clamp (Figure B & C).
4. When possible, place sleeving under the inside of the
clamp.
NOTE: The preferred method is to place sleeving inside clamp
regardless of tape use.
