6. Re-connect the air supply to the terminator (regulated air supply of 551 to 689 kPa [80 to 100 psi] at
0.47 liters/sec [1.0 scfm]).
7. Re-install the plastic guard onto the module. Run samples according to 409-10010 to inspect the
crimp height of each modular plug. If necessary, adjust the crimp height as described in Section 3.
3. TOOLING ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Normally, the module is adjusted for crimp height measurement prior to shipment, and little or no adjustment will be required
by the customer. However, if wearable parts are replaced, a small amount of adjustment may be required.
Two setscrews are provided at each side of the ram head (at the top of the module) for adjustment purposes.
The front setscrews allow adjustment of the hexagonal crimper. The back setscrews allow adjustment of the
contact inserter and secondary strain relief. See Figure 3. If the contacts have the proper crimp height, the
secondary strain relief will have the proper height as well (by construction).
Refer to the application specification for crimp requirements:
114-13035 8-position category 6 shielded and unshielded modular plugs
114-22008 8-position category 5e EMT modular plugs
114-93006 8-position category 6 shielded modular plugs
If adjustment is required to obtain proper crimp height, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the module from the terminator by reversing the installation instructions provided in Section 2.
2. Place the module on a horizontal, flat surface.
3. Check the clearance between the hexagonal crimper legs and the hexagonal anvil with a piece of thin
paper. Clearance must be within the dimensions given in Figure 3. If adjustment is required, slightly
loosen the socket head cap screws at the front of the ram and the front locking setscrews at the front
of the ram head. Then rotate the front setscrews to adjust the hexagonal crimper.
NOTE
A 360-degree rotation of the front setscrews makes a difference of approximately 0.8 mm [.032 in.].
4. If the contact crimp height is still not correct, loosen the back locking setscrews at the back of the ram
head. Make sure that the back locking setscrews are loosened. Rotate the back setscrews to adjust
the crimp height (simultaneously adjusting the secondary strain relief). Rotate the screws clockwise to
move the contact inserter downward.
NOTE
A 360-degree rotation of the back setscrews makes a difference of approximately 0.8 mm [.032 in.].
