2.3.4 Wire Feed
1.
The Operator must manually insert each
connector circuit size with corresponding
number of wires.
2.
As explained in Section 2.2.5 the operator uses
a numbered guide as an aid to insert the wires
into the connector. The touch screen prompts
the operator to the number slot on the guide to
place each wire.
3.
After the operator has correctly inserted the wire
at the correct position an audio tone will sound,
an LED will illuminate, and the operator can
move to the next position (prompted on the
touch screen).
4.
The mask tooling has spring loaded inserts
which will keep the wires held in position until
the connector has been terminated. After the
wire is inserted, do not attempt to pull the wire
out as the clamp grip may damage the wire. If
an insertion error occurs, it is best to use the
REDO function.
