Appendix A - Installation & Removal Images MMP with alignment arrow and release key slots In this image, the MMP has been secured to an aluminum plate that has four M6 stainless-steel studs in it. Four M6 self-locking nuts in the corners of the MPP secure it to the aluminum plate. The MMP is rigidly and permanently secured to the aluminum plate, and is now ready to have a Hub installed onto it. MMP secured to aluminum plate with studs via M6 locknuts.
Aligning the Hub with the MMP A Hub can be installed onto an MMP in any one of four orientations, via the mating bayonets of the Hub and MMP. The start location for the bayonet is ⅛ of a turn counterclockwise (CCW) from having the sides of the Hub aligned with the sides of the MMP. When the correct Hub-MMP orientation is achieved, the Hub will drop down into the MMP by 6mm. Hub inserted on top of MMP SKYLO TECHNOLOGIES | 268 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 | WWW.SKYLO.
Locking the Hub into position on the MMP Once the Hub is aligned with the MMP and dropped down into it, turn the hub clockwise (CW) by ⅛ of a turn until a positive click is heard and felt. This locks the Hub to the MMP securely. Hub locked into place on MMP SKYLO TECHNOLOGIES | 268 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 | WWW.SKYLO.
Unlocking the Hub from the MMP To separate a Hub from an MPP, it must first be unlocked. Insert two Hub release keys 180 degrees apart where the padlock icon is visible on a bare MPP. One of two Hub release key slots between the Hub and the MMP. An optional security screw can be used to prevent unlocking. SKYLO TECHNOLOGIES | 268 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 | WWW.SKYLO.
Insert each key fully. The Skylo logo on each Hub release key must be visible: Hub release keys installed between Hub and MMP. Hub can now be rotated CCW to release it from the MMP. SKYLO TECHNOLOGIES | 268 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 | WWW.SKYLO.
With the keys fully inserted, rotate the Hub 1/16 of a turn counterclockwise (CW), to the stop: Limit of unlocking rotation when Hub release keys are in place. Once the limit of unlocking rotation with the Hub release keys still in place has been reached, remove the Hub release keys and continue rotating counterclockwise (CCW) until the stop. Then remove the Hub from the MMP. Store the Hub release keys in a safe location. SKYLO TECHNOLOGIES | 268 Lambert Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 | WWW.SKYLO.
M12 Harness mating to Hub The M12 harness screws onto the Hub’s M12 connector to form a rainproof, sealed connection to the Hub. Always ensure that the keyed connector is aligned properly before screwing it fully onto the Hub’s M12 connector: M12 connector end of harness, fully engaged with Hub’s M12 connector.
