b. Check that the correct combination of cable and plugs is being terminated.
c. Check crimp height and strain relief settings. If necessary, make corresponding adjustments to the
module.
d. Check that the spring plungers are all correctly resting on the contact probes.
e. Inspect and replace any defective mechanical tooling parts.
5. MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, AND TROUBLESHOOTING
It is recommended that each module be inspected immediately upon arrival to ensure that the module has not
been damaged during shipping and at regularly scheduled intervals.
5.1. Daily Maintenance
1. At the end of each shift, clean the foreign particles from the module using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth
or brush. Make sure that the contact inserters and strain relief stuffers are secured in place. Check the
area under the base plate for foreign matter and debris.
2. For terminators -1 and -2 only, inspect the module for secure engagement of the connectors and cable
from the tester to the module and of the wires to the limit switch on the left at the back of the module.
3. Lubricate the module ram, if necessary, with a thin coat of high-pressure grease. Do not lubricate
excessively. Store the module in a clean, dry place.
4. Make sure to keep the terminating areas of the stuffers and nest areas especially clean. Do not oil or
grease the terminating areas of the stuffers or the contact slides.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Personnel responsible for the module should perform regular inspections, record the results, and keep a record
of inspections. It is recommended that inspections be performed at least once a month. Work environment,
company standards, or amount of module use may dictate more frequent inspections.
CAUTION
Failure to perform periodic inspection and cleaning can cause the module to make defective modular plug terminations leading
to discontinuities on individual wire circuits.
5.3. Troubleshooting
Refer to the troubleshooting section in 409-10010 (modular plug dual terminator customer manual).
