wire disk and insulation crimp disk in place. If
necessary, the end of the ram post may be placed
in a vise to free both hands for turning ram.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT REMOVE wire disk and insulation crimp
disk from ram post. Detent ball and spring will
pop out and may become lost if disks are
removed.
5. Place washer(s) of thickness determined in Step
2 on ram post. If old washer is broken and must be
replaced, measure thickness of broken washer
with a micrometer. Add this measurement to
amount to be added (determined in Step 2), and
select new washer(s) of this thickness. Place new
washer(s) on ram post.
6. Hold ram with hole facing downward, screw ram
post into ram, and tighten by hand until snug.
7. Be sure letters on wire disk and numbers on
insulation crimp disk line up properly over the top
of the insulation crimper. disks are held in position
by detents. If necessary, turn ram post back
slightly until numbers and letters line up, then
tighten ram post locking screw to hold ram post in
position.
NOTE
i
Turn wire disk and insulation crimp disk to other
positions. When the click" of the detent ball is
heard, check for centering of letter or number
over insulation crimper.
8. Put ram assembly back into applicator.
9. Install applicator in machine and make some
test crimps. Measure crimp height and check it
against crimp height specified on applicator parts
list. If crimp height is within specified tolerances,
applicator may be placed in service. If not, repeat
this procedure, starting with Step 1.
7.6. Wire Disk Pin Removal and Installation
The upper crimp height disk (Figure 5) consists of a
plastic carrier and up to eight hardened pins which
engage the post adapter on the termination machine
ram. When the carrier is rotated, the pins are indexed
into position as required to change the final applicator
crimp height.
Removal and replacement of the pins in the carrier is
rarely required. However, in some cases, it is
necessary, such as when the applicator is asked to
perform additional crimp heights not included in the
original four as shipped with the applicator. To remove
and replace these pins, proceed as follows.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury be sure power to
machine is turned off" and the power cord is
disconnected before taking the applicator out of
the machine,. The machine ram should be in the
raised position.
1. Remove the applicator as described in
Section 3, INSTALLATION and REMOVAL.
2. Remove the ram assembly from the applicator.
3. Loosen the setscrew on the side of the ram to
unlock the ram post. See Figure 5.
4. Remove (as a unit) the ram post, wire
adjustment disk, and insulation crimp adjustment
disk.
NOTE
i
Do not allow the insulation crimp disk to slide off
the ram post until you have completed Step 5.
5. Holding the ram post and insulation adjustment
disks as a unit in your hands, remove the screw
from the side of the insulation crimp disk and
carefully remove the spring and ball. See Figure 6.
