Adjusting for Connector Size
The Appli-Mate (RAST2.5 Power) connectors are
available in circuit sizes 2 through 12. The guides
must be adjusted to fit the desired connector circuit
size. That is done as follows:
1.
Loosen or remove the locking screw for the
adjustable guide block and position the guide to fit
the desired connector stack. Place the stack on
the connector support and slide it forward until it is
between the fixed and the adjustable guide blocks.
See Figure 1-3.
2.
Replace the locking screw if it was removed but do
not tighten.
3.
Slide the adjustable guide block toward the fixed
guide block until the connector stack slides
between the guides with minimum clearance.
4.
Tighten the adjustable guide block locking
screw.
Adjusting the Wire Tension
It is necessary to make an adjustment to the wire
stop when changing from one wire size to another.
Refer to Figure 1-4.
1.
Turn the stop screw clockwise to decrease the
tension or counterclockwise to increase the
tension applied to the wire. Adjust the tension so
the wire can be pushed through the guides, into
the connector, and held firmly in place upon
release.
