OPERATION
Refer to the instruction manual for the 19279-0001 (AT-200) for
mounting this crimp tool head.
Crimping Terminals
1.
Adjust the locator up or down until the terminal being run sits flat
and straight in the tool.
2.
Position the locator for the proper color-coded nest by removing the
#4-40 by 3/8” long BHCS under the bracket of the locator. Place it
in the desired position that corresponds with the color-coded nest
being used. Tighten the BHCS.
3.
Insert the wire into the terminal. Push the terminal and wire against
the locator in the proper color-coded nest. The barrel of the
terminal should be up. See Figure 1.
Caution:
Never operate this tool without the supplied safety shield in place. Never place fingers in the tool nests.
4.
Push on the wire to assure it is still fully seated in the
terminal. The wire end should butt against the wire stop
stamped into each terminal. See Figure 2. Cycle the tool.
5.
Remove the crimp and inspect for proper crimp location,
and check for insulation closure. Molex offers a Crimp
Inspection Handbook for closed barrel industrial product.

Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made
aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint-free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3.
Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are
protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. This tool was engineered for durability, but like any
fine piece of equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. Use a light oil,
such as 30 weight automotive oil at the oil points shown in Figure
3, every 5,000 crimps or monthly will significantly enhance the
tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4.
When tool is not in use store the tool in a clean, dry area.
