2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The applicator assembly is a pneumatically operated
hand--held unit designed to operate with 517 to
655 kPa [75 tp 95 psi] air pressure. The applicator
assembly features a cylinder with a handle capable of
pivoting 360, two safety latches, insertion tooling, an
insertion--depth adjustment, and two guidelines which
automatically engage the applicator assembly to the
connector--holding fixture.
After the connector--fixture holding fixture is mounted
to the harness board, the applicator assembly is
placed onto the fixture, then actuated to complete the
termination.
3. AIR LINE REQUIREMENTS AND SETUP (Figure 2)
A filter and moisture separator, regulator, and
lubricator must be used with these tooling assemblies
to ensure dependable performance and long life. It is
recommended that quick--disconnect fittings are used
to connect the tool to the air supply. If not using
quick--disconnect fittings, provide a pneumatic
lock--out on the air line that bleeds air after it is turned
off. These items are customer supplied.
It is strongly recommended that these items be
installed at each tool station in the order shown in
Figure 2. Mount the items as close as possible to the
tooling assembly, preferably where the tool hose is
connected to the air system. Be sure the items are
checked after every 40 hours of use by the tool
operator or maintenance personnel.
Figure 2 lists the suggested manufacturers and
benefits of using this equipment.
4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
Mount the connector--holding fixture, and install
connector and lace wires in the fixture according to
Instruction Sheets 408--7994 (MTA .100) or 408--7995
(MTA .156). Then proceed as follows:
1. Attach air supply to applicator assembly and
adjust air pressure (517 to 655 kPa [75 to 95 psi]).
