MULTI-CONNECTOR

SERIES DM*

The use of a multi-connector enables connection of the panel with

other apparatus and can provide the reliability of one-touch

installation and removal of multi-tubes (nylon, polyurethane). As a

result, separate transportation of panel and machinery equipment

and backup unit exchange are made possible.

One-touch installation and removal

Employs the unique built-in keying mechanism which provides

one-touch installation and removal capability even in hard to

see locations. In addition it prevents installation mistakes when

re-connecting.

Installation processes are reduced considerably

As compared with the use of many bulkhead unions, this

installation is very easy and installation time is reduced

considerably.

Reliable tube retaining force

This construction mechanism enables clamping and unclamping

every tube in use by one operation and can provide a reliable

tube retaining force.

Number of connecting tubes

2 types-6 tubes & 12 tubes.

HOW TOUSE THE MULTI-CONNECTOR

1 REMOVING

Loosen clamp ring ❶, and separate the multi-connector into two parts,

socket side and plug side

2 INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF TUBE

1 Turn the clamp bolt ❻to the left with a screw-driver, loosen until the

stopper ❷touches the case ❸, and barb cassette ❹will be pulled out in the

direction A, then clamp portion B, consisting of barb ❺and case ❸, will be

freed. Then insert or remove the tube.

2 The same number curved on every port indicates that socket and plug side

can be connected.

3 If it is hard to insert the tube, enlarge the multi-connector with the head

of stopper, expander C, before inserting tube, to such an extent that it

accommodates the number of tubes you intend to use.

4 Insert tube until it clears the mountain of barb ❺completely.

3 CLAMPING OF TUBE

1 After inserting tube, tighten clamp bolt ❻with a screw driver.

2 Barb cassette creeps into the direction D and the tube will be clamped at

the clamp portion B consisting of barb ❺and case ❸

4 CONNECTING

1 Push together and rotate both of the cases, and the plug side will slide

into the socket side at the proper position.

2 The ring E, male and female, of the plug side and socket side will

interlock each other at the proper position by pushing together and

rotating.

3 Final process of connection is to screw in the clamp ring.

5 COVER MOUNTING

1 Cover is mountable on both sides, plug side and socket side.

2 Enlarge cover and mount cover onto mounting area.

PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to insert the tube slowly so that you feel it

move smoothly and can feel it touch the end.

In case the number of tubes to be used is 6 (DM6)

and 12 (DM12) or less, the positioning of the tube

should be symmetrical to the centre.

0nce the tube has been properly inserted, pull it

back gently, and if it does not come out, it is the

sign of complete insertion.

Substantial reduction in mounting space In comparison with a

model requiring many union joints for panels and partitions,

this model needs only a small space

MIXED SIZES OF PLUG CONNECTORS AND SOCKET CONNECTORS

The rectangular multi-connector permits connector exchange in any desired

position, thus allowing use of different sizes of tubes.

1 Loosen the cross-recessed head machine screw using a Phillips type screwdriver

to remove the plate from the case.

2 After exchanging connectors in desired places, fix the plate with a Phillips

type screwdriver to the case.

HOW TO USE

Separation

Loosen the clamp bolt to separate the plug side from the socket side.

Connection

Put together the irregular faces for engagement and connect the plug case to

the socket. After tightening the clamp bolt by hand, tighten it further with

hexagon bar wrench (nominal width across flats:4).

Panel Mounting

1 Loosen (4) screws for bracket on the socket side using a Phillips type

screwdriver (JIS nominal No 2) until the bracket touches the stop ring.

2 Shift the panel mounting bracket to the inside (move the screw for bracket in

the longitudinal direction of the slot) and put the connector in the panel

mounting hole. (Panel mounting hole: See dimensions).

3 After shifting the bolt for bracket to the outside, tighten the bolt with a

Phillips type screwdriver to fix the socket case.

4 Loosen the screw for bracket until the bracket touches the stop ring and shift

the bracket to the inside to remove the connector from the panel.
