2. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw that
holds the shield support onto the locator assembly.
NOTE
i
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks
as the tool handles are closed.
3. Place a shield with wire into the proper nest and
close the tool handles until the ratchet reaches the
sixth click, or until the shield support touches the
shield.
4. Slightly loosen the nut that holds the locator
assembly onto the tool frame.
5. Move the shield support as required to eliminate
the bending of the shield.
6. Tighten the nut and close the handles until the
ratchet releases.
7. Remove and inspect the shield.
8. Make another sample crimp. If the shield is
straight, tighten the shield support screw. If the
shield is still being bent during crimping, repeat the
adjustment procedure.
compatible with the cable size and insulation
diameter. Then identify the appropriate crimp section
according to the wire size markings on the tool. Refer
to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is
facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and
allow them to open fully.
2. Holding the shield by the mating end, insert the
shield — insulation barrel first — through the front
of the tool and into the appropriate crimp section.
3. Position the shield so that the mating end of the
shield is on the locator side of the tool, and so that
the open “U” of the insulation barrel faces the top
of the tool. Place the shield up into the nest so that
the movable locator butts against the front end of
the insulation barrel. Refer to Figure 3.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that both sides of the insulation barrel
are started evenly into the crimping section. Do
NOT attempt to crimp an improperly positioned
shield.
4. Hold the shield in position and squeeze the tool
handles together until ratchet releases.
5. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
i
This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment
feature. Initially, the crimp height should be
verified as specified in Figure 4. Refer to
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION, and
Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, to
verify crimp height before using the tool to crimp
desired shields and wire sizes.
Prepare the cable, connector, and shields in
accordance with the instructions contained in the
applicable Application Specification. Ensure that cable
drain wire(s) is positioned between the cable
insulation jacket and the insulation crimping barrel of
the lower shield. Refer to the table in Figure 1 to
determine if the shield type (small or large) is
5. Allow tool handles to open and remove crimped
shield.
NOTE
i
The crimped shield may stick in the crimping
area, but the shield can be easily removed by
pushing downward on the top of the locator (see
Figure 3).
6. Check the shield’s crimp height as described in
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION. If
necessary, adjust the crimp height as described in
Section 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.
6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
This inspection requires the use of a micrometer with
a modified anvil.
