8. Mount the terminal reel onto the reel support. Thread the terminal strip into the applicator according to
the applicator instruction sheet supplied with the applicator. If necessary, adjust lubrication bowl.
9. Align reel brake to lead-in to applicator.
10. On end-feed applicators, adjust the lead-in tube so that the terminal strip enters the strip guide of the
applicator without bending or stressing the terminal strip.
5.2. Setup
1. Turn on the power to the terminating machine with the main power switch/circuit breaker (located on the
left side of the terminating machine).
2. Position the terminal (without a wire) in the applicator, as described in the applicator instruction sheet.
Place the terminating machine in JOG mode (Forward) (refer to Figure 11) and carefully cycle the
terminating machine through a complete crimp cycle.
If desired, the terminating machine can be cycled manually. Disconnect the power supply to the machine and turn OFF
power to the terminating machine with the main power switch/circuit breaker. Remove the rear cover. Use a 19-mm
wrench on the nut in the center of the large pulley to manually turn the crankshaft.
3. Inspect the terminal to ensure it has been properly crimped. If an improper crimp is attained, check the
position of the terminal in the applicator using the applicator instruction sheet. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until a
proper crimp is attained.
4. Select the desired mode of operation as described in Paragraph 5.4, Mode Selection.
5. Place a prepared wire in the terminal and press the manual cycle button to crimp the wire to the terminal.
Inspect the terminal for a proper crimp.
5.3. Manual Cycling
The terminating machine is provided with a manual cycle button located on the left side of the machine next to
the power connection for the dereeler assembly. Pressing the manual cycle button will cause the ram to cycle
according to the selected operating modes described in Figure 11.
Perform the following steps to manually cycle the terminating machine:
1. Verify that the power indicator light located above the power button on the terminating machine control
panel is ON. If not, press the power button on the control panel to power-up the terminating machine for
cycling. See Figure 3.

When power is first applied to the terminating machine, the machine will automatically turn the power light ON as part of
the initialization process.

2. Select the desired operating mode. Refer to Figure 11.
3. Press the manual cycle button to cycle the terminating machine.
When the manual cycle button is pressed and held in the full cycle or JOG modes, the terminating machine will complete
one cycle and stop with the ram in the "fully retracted" position. The manual cycle button must be released and pressed
again to initiate another cycle. In the split cycle mode, the ram will move partially down to capture the terminal in the
tooling (without crimping it). After the wire is inserted into the terminal, the manual cycle button must be pressed again to
complete the cycle (crimping the wire to the terminal) and return the ram to the "fully retracted" position.
5.4. Mode Selection
Each terminating machine is capable of four primary modes of operation which are accessed through the
operator control panel. The current operating mode is indicated by green lights located above the function
buttons and below the mode icons. Select an operating mode by pressing the MODE function button until the
light under the desired icon is ON.
