Optional Vacu-Pass TM Cord & Cable Portal Use
Note: There must be enough clearance to pass the cord or cable between the Axiom’s
exterior dress panel and any obstruction.
Note: Some Vacu-Pass components and the cord or cable passing through it may
become contaminated during use of the cabinet. Ensure all potentially contaminated
components are surface decontaminated before handling or removal from the cabinet.
1.
Remove the grommet from the liner side wall. Remove the solid sealing plug from
the body of the portal by either pressing it through from the outside, or by carefully
inserting a spatula or similar device between the sealing plug and the body of the
portal, and prying the plug out.
2. Pass the cord or cable through the body of the portal, and then through one of the
plugs that has been cut for cord or cable use, then through the grommet, as shown
in Figure 3-3.
Note: select a plug with a hole that is slightly smaller than the cord or cable, to create a
proper seal. This will also help minimize movement of the cord or cable if it is
accidentally pulled during use.
3. Position the cord or cable as it will be used in the cabinet, and then push the plug
back into the body of the portal until it seats in the portal. Reinstall the grommet.
