5. After adjustment has been made, push the three parts at each side of the ram to the upper-most
position, and tighten the socket head cap screws at the front of the ram. Re-position the ram on the
module. Then re-install the module on the terminator as described in Section 2.
6. If the hexagonal anvil has been moved or replaced, it may require some in-out adjustment as follows:
a. Remove the ram.
b. Loosen the button head cap screw on the hexagonal anvil. See Figure 4.
c. Place a modular plug (with the shield assembled, if applicable) on the hexagonal anvil.
NOTE
When the anvil is positioned properly, the front surface of the anvil is in the same vertical plane as the transition point between
the modular plug cylinder and shoulder as shown in Figure 4.
d. When the in-out position of the hexagonal anvil is adjusted, tighten the button head cap screw.

4. TERMINATING, TESTING, AND INSPECTING MODULAR PLUG
1. Strip the cable according to application specification for the modular plug (given in Section 3).
NOTE
Do not strip the insulation from the individual conductors.
2. Insert stripped cables into the modular plugs, and insert the cables and modular plugs into the module
nests. Make sure of the following:
— the cable conductors are oriented to the applicable contact slots before inserting the conductors
into the modular plugs,
— the cable conductors are bottomed in the contact slots of the modular plugs, and that they remain
bottomed throughout the cycling of the terminator, and
— the modular plugs bottom in the module nests; the modular plug release tab must snap firmly into
place.
3. Press the foot switch to cycle the terminator.
4. When termination is complete:
For terminators -1 and -2 (only), the tester will automatically examine the cable assembly and respond
with either a short tone or a long tone (refer to Figure 5). After the cable assembly is tested, hold the
cable assembly release down, and remove the cable assembly from the module.
