shown in Figure 2.
Cable conductors must stay in the same flutes for
the entire length of the fluted plate.
3. Insert connector into the lower insert using the
instructions supplied with the connector--specific
kit.
4. Slide cable through the connector so that the
end of the cable is against the cable stop. The
cable must be positioned between the cable
guides. When cable is properly positioned, close
the cable clamp. See Figure 2.
5. To actuate the ram for the arbor frame
assembly, slide lower tooling assembly toward rear
of base plate until it is positioned against the rear
tool stop. Pull down on the frame assembly handle
to terminate the cable to the connector .
To actuate the ram for the auto--cycle unit, slide
lower tooling assembly toward the rear of the
base plate until the sensing port closes. The
frame assembly will automatically cycle and
terminate the cable to the connector.
6. To retract the ram for the arbor frame assembly,
raise the tool handle. Slide tooling assembly out
from under the ram and remove the terminated
connector .
The ram will automatically retract when the
auto--cycle unit has completed the crimp cycle.
Slide the lower tooling out from under the ram to
remove the terminated connector.
7. Measure the termination height of the connector.
The dimension should conform to the termination
height dimensions provided in Application
Specification 114--40049. If the termination height
is incorrect, an adjustment to the ram height is
required. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied
with the appropriate frame assembly for ram height
adjustment procedures.
