4.4. Setup
1. Install a miniature applicator and terminals according to Paragraph 4.3.
2. Turn on power to the SL Starlite monitor. Put the monitor in the Quality Assurance Check mode. This
mode allows crimps to occur with out being analyzed. Turn on the main power to the machine using the
switch located on the machine’s back panel.
3. Jog the machine (as described in Paragraph 4.5, B) through a complete crimp cycle.
The machine should be able to jog through the terminal and wire at maximum jog speed.
4. Inspect the crimped terminal to verify that the terminal is being positioned properly within the
applicator.
5. Correct for any positioning errors according to the applicator instruction sheet, and repeat Steps 3
and 4 until a terminal is properly positioned.
6. Place a prepared wire in the crimp area and press the foot switch to cycle the machine.
7. Inspect the completed crimp and make adjustments as necessary.
8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until a proper crimp has been made.
4.5. Mode Selection and Operation
The three basic modes of operation for the AMP 3K and AMP 5K machines are: Full–Cycle, Jog, and Jog
(With Guards Disabled). However, if during the machine cycle while crimping a terminal and wire, the motor
stalls; it may be necessary to manually cycle the machine. When the machine detects a system fault, it goes
into the fault mode and flashes the indicator lights to indicate the fault detected.
To avoid personnal injury, excercise caution when jogging or operating the -18, -22, -24, and -25 machines. These
machines will jog/cycle with the guards in the open or closed position.
A. Full-Cycle Mode
Depressing the footswitch (with the guard closed) causes the crankshaft to be rotated (at a speed defined
by the speed control knob), through a complete revolution. This completes one full machine cycle.
B. Jog Mode
( (Figure 10))
Pressing the Jog button causes the crankshaft to be rotated at a default–reduced speed in the forward
direction until the Jog button is released or the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the Jog button is
released in mid–cycle and pressed again, the crankshaft will continue to rotate in the forward direction at
the default reduced speed. If the machine does not complete the cycle, either adjust the speed control
knob (as described below), or complete the cycle using the footswitch (at a speed determined by the
speed control knob) after the Jog button has been pressed and released.
Holding the Jog button down for more than five seconds will cause the machine to “err.” To clear the error,
“power down” the machine, clear the problem area, and then “power up” the machine again. An alternate
method of clearing the error is to hold down the foot pedal until the green status indicator stops flashing. If
the motor is stalled, it may be necessary to manually cycle the machine to the home position. Refer to
Paragraph 4.4,D for the proper manual cycling procedure.
While in the Jog mode, attempting to complete a crimp cycle with terminals and wire in the applicator may cause the
motor to stall. Although the machine can terminate some smaller terminals and wire, it may be necessary to turn off"
the machine and manually cycle the machine to the home position. Refer to Paragraph 4.4,D.
To avoid personal injury, exercise caution when jogging or operating the -18, -22, -24, and -25 machines. These
machines will jog/cycle with the guards in the open or closed position.
