guard doors and remove the applicator as
described in Paragraph 3.2.
2. From bottom side of strip guide plate, loosen the
screw that holds the strip guide adjustment block to
the strip guide plate.
3. With the LEAD terminal centered over anvil, lift
and hold (or block) the feed pawl up to clear the
front strip guide.
4. Turn strip guide plate adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE to move strip guide plate TOWARD
REAR, or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to move it
TOWARD FRONT. The insulation barrel of the lead
terminal should be as close as possible to the
floating shear.
5. Tighten screw to hold strip guide plate in position.
6. Loosen screw holding feed pawl to feed finger
(feed pawl holder). Move feed pawl until its tip drops
into slot in front strip guide. Retighten screw.
7. Hand-cycle terminating unit, checking for proper
terminal feed and strip guide plate alignment.
NOTE
i
Refer to customer manual 409-10204 for hand-
cycling instructions.
5.4. Strip Guide Adjustment
This adjustment is not used very often, because it is
only needed when the rear strip guide is not parallel to
the strip guide plate, the strip guides are not parallel to
each other, or there is a variation in strip width.
NOTE
i
The strip guides are correctly positioned on the
strip guide plate when the applicator is built, and
normally do NOT need adjustment. DO NOT use
this procedure for front-to-rear positioning of strip -
refer to Paragraph 5.4, Strip Guide Plate and Feed
Pawl Adjustments.
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE power to the
terminator is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected before making adjustments with the
guard doors open.
1. With the power to the terminator "off," and the
power cord disconnected, open the terminator
guard doors.
2. Lift and hold (or block) the feed pawl up to clear
the front strip guide, and loosen screws holding strip
guides to strip guide plate.
3. Move the rear strip guide in the desired direction,
making sure it is parallel to the strip guide plate, and
then retighten the holding screws.
4. Align the front strip guide with the holes in the
terminal carrier strip, but be sure the strip guides
are parallel, and that the terminal strip can move
freely with a minimum of side clearance. Retighten
the screws.
NOTE
i
If feed pawl is not aligned with the front strip guide,
refer to Paragraph 5.3, Step 4.
5. Hand-cycle terminating unit, checking for proper
terminal feed and strip guide alignments.
5.5. Adjustment of Shear(s) and Shear Holder(s)
(Side-
Feed Through-Splice Applicators Only)
With lead terminal centered over anvil, check to see if
floating shear(s) cuts the terminal from the carrier
strip(s) correctly. If necessary, make the following
adjustments.
NOTE
i
The lower portion of the applicator must be
removed from the terminating unit for this
procedure. See removal procedure under
Paragraph 3.2.
A. Front Shear Adjustment
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE power to the
terminator is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected before removing the applicator.
1. With the power to the terminator "off," and the
power cord disconnected, open the terminator
guard doors and remove the applicator as
described in Paragraph 3.2.
2. From the bottom of the base plate, loosen the two
screws that secure the shear holder to the base
plate.
3. Move the shear holder and floating shear in the
desired direction, and retighten the screws.
NOTE
i
There should be minimal clearance (.002 in.)
between the floating shear and the anvil; the shear
must move up and down freely, and must be
square to the back of the anvil.
4. Reinstall and re-align the applicator base plate to
the terminator base and load it with product so that
a terminal is centered over the anvil. Check that the
floating shear correctly cuts the terminal from the
carrier strip. If shearing action is not correct, repeat
Steps 1 and 2 or check for worn or damaged tooling.
B. Rear Shear Adjustment
(Dual Carrier Strip Product Only)
The rear shear is more likely to need adjustment
because it is affected by differences in terminal strip
widths and strip guide plate adjustments.
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE power to the
terminator is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected before removing the applicator.
1. With the power to the terminator "off," and the
power cord disconnected, open the terminator
guard doors and remove the applicator as
described in Paragraph 3.2.
