2. Place the connector in the die set as shown in
Figure 7.
3. Place the prepared ribbon cable fully into the
connector.
NOTE
i
Alternately, the terminator can be placed on the end
of the cable before placing the terminator and cable
into the die set.
4. Squeeze the hand tool handles while keeping
the ribbon cable fully inserted into the connector.
5. Release the handles to open the hand tool.
6. Remove the crimped connector from the die
set.
6. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
6.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that operators of the
tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool kit components with a
clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
Do NOT use hard or abrasive objects that could
damage the components.
2. Make certain that the pivot pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining pins.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool kit is not in use, keep handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged
in the crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry
area.
6.2. Periodic Inspection
1. Regular inspections of the tool kit should be
performed by quality control personnel. A record
of scheduled inspections should remain with the
kit or be supplied to supervisory personnel
responsible for the kit. Inspection frequency
should be based upon amount of use, working
conditions, operator training and skill, and
established company standards.
2. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
3. Make certain that all pivot pins are in place and
secured with retaining rings.
4. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See Section 8, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
5. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and
pivot points. If damage is evident, refer to
Section 6, PARTS REPLACEMENT. If tool is
acceptable, lubricate and return to service.
7. RATCHET ADJUSTMENT
The ratchet mechanism features an adjustment wheel
with eight settings. The adjustment wheel controls the
amount of handle pressure exerted on the tool jaws
and crimping dies during crimping. If the crimp is not
acceptable, adjust the ratchet as follows:
1. Sufficiently loosen the screw at the ratchet
adjustment wheel so that the wheel can be
rotated above the post that engages the teeth in
the wheel.
2. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a
higher notch (for example, if the wheel is set at
notch no. 5, move the wheel to notch no. 6). If the
crimp is too tight, move the wheel to a lower
notch.
3. Tighten the screw at the ratchet adjustment
wheel.
If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.
