Rapid-Air RAPID TOUCH WITH BASE: RTB - Manual (Page 3)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RTB (RAPID TOUCH WITH BASE)
Part number 10900534 (with D-sub plug)
Part number 10900535 (with amp plug)
INSTALLATION:
The RTB unit, when received should be checked for shipping damage. If damage has occurred,
contact the carrier that handled the shipment first and then Rapid-Air to report the damage.
The RTB unit is shipped pre-tested and adjusted to a working height of 42” and is set for payout
operation. It should be set in place on a level surface, although each stand is provided with (4)
base holes to level the stand. Base holes can be used as thru holes for 7/16 bolts if the unit is to
be bolted to the floor or for leveling the stand.
Each RTB unit assembled is pre-wired to an Amp 14 pin circular plug or 25 pin D-sub connec-
tor that matches a connector output on every Rapid Air device capable of running from a non-
contact loop controller. Optional cord adapters are available for interfacing each style. Contact
Rapid Air for details. The RTB gets its control power from the device that it is controlling.
Once the plug is attached, the RTB is ready to run.
The RTB unit (10900534 and 10900535) consists of (3) major components.:
1. Control Box 28900348

CONTROL BOX:
The control box is the key component for the RTB. It is attached, wired and tested at the fac-
tory. Please call you representative or Rapid Air before attempting any adjustments.
STAND:
The stand was designed to be durable but not cumbersome. All of the components are designed
for easy replacement if a component becomes non-repairable or fails. Access to the payout/
rewind switch is from the top of the RTB box.
CABLE ASSEMBLY:
The cable assembly was designed to make the installation of the RTB to a Rapid Air Reel,
Straightener, or Rapid Roll very easy. The power and control connection is accomplished
through one of two types of connectors. Optional adapter cables are available for each type of
conversion if required. Contact Rapid-Air for details or assistance. If connecting to other than
Rapid Air equipment, consult the Rapid Air engineering department.
