Adjusting tenting in the low range (20, 30, 40, or 50 degrees)
For low-range tenting, the slider must be fully extended towards the middle space between the keying
modules (Figure 9).
Note: to move the slider, slightly lower the
keying module below 90 degrees (Figure 10).
Adjust the tenting angle of each keying module
separately. First lift the keying module slightly
to off-weight the tenting flange, then move the
latter to the desired set of slots (20, 30, 40, or
50 degrees) in the extended slider.
Adjusting tenting in the high range (60, 70,
80, or 90 degrees)
For high-range tenting, the slider must be fully
retracted, as shown in Figure 11. Remember
before moving the slider, slightly lower the
keying module below 90 degrees of tenting
(Figure 10).
To change the tenting angle, lift the keying module slightly to off-weight the
tenting flange and move the latter to the desired set of slots (60, 70, 80, or 90
degrees) in the base. For 90 degree tenting, apply gentle pressure to the
support flange to seat its tabs into the appropriate slots. This is normal, and is
intended to keep the keying module from moving during use. Use no more
force than necessary to avoid bending (and damaging) the slider. Damage to
the slider by excessive use of force is not covered by warranty.
Using the linking plate (optional)
After the tenting modules have been attached to the keying modules, you may
wish to install the linking plate to provide a fixed separation. The linking plate
has two bolts on each end which fit from below through the holes in the base
and slider. Thumb nuts attach the linking plate without the need for tools.
Before installing the linking plate, establish the tenting angle(s) you want to
use (see above). Then position the two modules at the desired separation
distance. The separation distance is limited by the length of the linking cable and is greater at lower tenting
angles.
Note: Don’t stretch the linking cable taut. If you need more
separation than is provided by the standard cable, contact
Kinesis Technical Support about upgrading to a longer cable.
Lower the other keying/tenting assembly onto the other half
of the linking plate. The assembly should now look like
Figure 12. Attach the thumb nuts only finger tight. Do not use
a wrench or over-tighten them. If the bolts on the linking plate
are hard to see underneath the tenting flanges, you may need
to lift the latter while installing the thumb nuts.
