Press the Mode Select button to exit the diagnostics mode.
7. MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
Most of the mechanical adjustments are made with adjustment screws containing (NYLON) locks. A 3mm
wrench is required to make most adjustments.
NOTE
i
if the adjustment screws become loose, the NYLON locks can be tightened by turning the back-up setscrew
clockwise.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure to disconnect power to the terminating machine and stripping module before making
any adjustments.
7.1. Strip Blade Closure Adjustment (Figure 12)
The strip blades must be adjusted to a depth that will permit the cutting and stripping of the insulation slug from
the conductor wires. This adjustment is made by turning the setscrew clockwise to strip a smaller wire and
counterclockwise to strip a larger wire.
1. Turn “off” power to the terminating machine and stripping module.
2. Move the stripping assembly to the right side of the transfer assembly.
3. Pull the cam assembly forward using a 3mm hex wrench. (Blades should be in the “closed” position.)
4. Insert a stripped wire into the opening of the blade assembly.
5. Using the strip depth adjustment screw, adjust the blade closure until the blades drag on the
conductor of the wire, then rotate the adjustment screw 1/4–turn counterclockwise. Rotate the
adjustment screw clockwise to close the blades for smaller wire and counterclockwise to increase the
blade opening for larger wire.
6. Remove the hex wrench before “powering up” the machine.
7.2. Strip Length Adjustment (Figure 12)
The wire strip length may vary between applicators and various terminals.
This adjustment is made with the adjustment screw located at the front of the stripping module. Turn the
adjustment screw clockwise to increase the strip length or counterclockwise to decrease the strip length.
7.3. Wire Brush Adjustment (Figure 12)
1. Turn “off” power to the terminating machine and stripping module.
2. Slightly loosen the applicator latch.
3. Turn the wire brush adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the wire brush or counterclockwise to
increase the wire brush.
4. Push the strip mechanism toward the rear of the machine until the adjustment screw hits the rear
stop.
5. Tighten the applicator latch.
CAUTION
!
If the applicator latch is not fully tightened, the top portion of the strip subassembly may move, causing variations in
the wire brush.
7.4. Gripper Adjustment
A. Jaw Height Adjustment
The jaw height adjustment is required to align the center of the wire to be stripped with the center of
“V”–shaped opening in the outer strip blade.
