9. If the wire end is higher than the wire passing through the grip jaws, the tonk rod is too low. Adjusted as
follows:
a. Loosen the tonk rod T-handle (Figure 13).
b. Turn the tonk rod adjustment screw counter-clockwise to raise the tonk rod.
c. Tighten the tonk rod T-handle.
10. If necessary, perform another hand-cycle of the terminator to determine if further adjustment is required.
8.3. Transfer Left-to-Right Adjustment
Normally, the transfer mechanism should not require adjustment. This adjustment is set at the factory. However,
if the transfer cylinder is replaced, the following procedure should be performed to set the transfer position back
to it's original position.
1. Loosen the nut on the rod end of the transfer cylinder.
2. Turn the rod by hand until there is approximately 3mm [.125 in] gap between the aluminum transfer
mounting block and the gripper mechanism.
3. Tighten the rod nut.
4. Slide the gripper mechanism to the left and right to check for free travel.
5. If binding occurs, loosen the nut securing the air cylinder. Reposition the air cylinder to eliminate the
binding. Retighten the air cylinder nut.
8.4. Air Cylinder Switch Adjustments
A. Transfer Cylinder Retract Switch Adjustments
(Figure 12)
1. “Power up" the DCC terminator controller in input monitoring mode.
2. Move the gripper mechanism completely to the left.
3. Loosen the band securing the transfer cylinder retract switch (Figure 12).
4. Start at the left and move the switch and band to the right until the LED on the switch turns "on" and the
Chop Error LED on the DCC terminator controller turns on.
5. Move the gripper mechanism to the right and then back to the left.
6. If the switch LED or Chop Error LED does not turn on, move the switch further to the right.
7. The switch LED should be lit when the mechanism is completely to the left.
8. The switch LED should not be lit when the mechanism is 3mm [.125 in] from being completely to the left.
NOTE
i
If the switch is adjusted so that the LED is lit when the mechanism is more than 3mm [.125 in] away from being completely
to the left, the tonk rod and foot may damage the gripper mechanism.
B. Transfer Cylinder Switch Extend Adjustment
(Figure 12)
1. Power up" the DCC terminator controller in input monitoring mode.
2. Move the gripper mechanism completely to the right.
3. Loosen the band securing the transfer cylinder retract switch.
4. Start at the right and move the switch and band to the left until the LED on the switch turns on and the Chop
Error LED on the DCC terminator controller lights.
5. Move the gripper mechanism to the left and then back to the right.
6. If the switch LED or Chop Error LED does not light, move the switch further to the left.
