2. Push the interlinking blocks onto the tie rod carefully and
without tilting.
Caution
When interlinking blocks are arranged in series:
Make sure that the electric plug connectors of the inter−
linking blocks are not bent.
3. Align the CPX terminal on a flat surface so that the compo
nents are not offset. Use the bearing surface for the H−rail
to align the component correctly. It is easier
to align if you
use an H−rail. Alternatively, you can place the CPX ter
minal without pneumatics or with the CPA pneumatics in
such a way that the interlinking blocks’ electrical connec
tions are facing upwards (see Fig.2/7). The tie rod is held
in the tie rod groove by the force due to
weight.
