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 , and separate the multi-connector into two parts,
socket side and plug side
2 INSERTION AND REMOVAL OF TUBE
1 Turn the clamp bolt to the left with a screw-driver, loosen until the
stopper touches the case , and barb cassette will be pulled out in the
direction A, then clamp portion B, consisting of barb and case , 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 completely.
3 CLAMPING OF TUBE
1 After inserting tube, tighten clamp bolt with 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 and case
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.

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.
