AP-F6 PNEUMATIC CRIMPING MACHINE
4.4 Touch Sensor Adjustment
The touch sensor is fitted to the press
to allow semi-automatic operation
when using suitable types of wire.
It is always preferable to use the
touch sensor, if possible, because the
action of touching the sensor to
operate the press ensures that
conductors of the wire protrude
sufficiently through the crimp terminal
to produce a correctly terminated wire.
Note
The touch sensor cannot be used with
wires of 26 AWG or less, and certain
types of terminal. If you cannot
achieve satisfactory results using the
sensor, it will be necessary to use the
foot-switch to operate the crimping
press.
The touch sensor is mounted on the
same bracket as the stripper (see
section 3.2), and should be adjusted
so that it is placed approximately 1mm
behind the conductor crimp barrel.
The position is secured by tightening
the cap head screw onto the mounting
bracket.
4.5 Foot Switch Operation
When it is not possible to use the
touch sensor, due to incompatible wire
or terminals, it is necessary to use the
foot switch supplied with the AP-F6.
The foot switch plugs into the rear of
the control box (see section 4).
CAUTION !
Do not plug the Foot Switch into
the AP-F6 whilst the machine is
connected to the power supply,
because the machine may be
operated by accident.
