OPERATION
4.1.
Machine Operation
The machine is operated by the footswitch, the jog button, and the speed control knob. The jog button and the
speed control knob are located on the control panel. The control panel features are described in Figure 9.
4.2.
Crimp Quality Monitor II (CQM II)
The AMP 3K / AMP 5K machine must have software version 3.2.1 or later to interface with the monitor
.
The software version can be checked by pressing and holding the footswitch when the green and yellow lights
start to blink while the terminator is powering up.
The yellow light will flash three times, and then the green light will flash the software version. For example,
three yellow flashes followed by three green flashes, a pause, two green flashes, a pause, and one green flash
would indicate version 3.2.1.
Refer to Customer Manual 409-10100 for detailed instructions regarding the use of the CQM II. This manual is
included in the machine’s docume
ntation package.
Machine Power Up
During power up, the machine looks to see if the monitor’s interface cable is connected. Specifically, it looks to see if the
jumper
from J10
–
3 to J10
–
4 is installed on the CPU/Motor Controller Board.
If the jumper is seen, the green and yellow lights will alternately flash a couple of times on power up. If the jumper is not detected,
the green and yellow lights flash together a couple of times.
After seeing the jumper, the machine looks to see if the monitor is ready to ac
cept a crimp by looking at the monitor’s output
relay, Relay 2. Relay 2 is a normally open relay that is closed when the monitor is ready for a crimp.
If Relay 2 is not closed when the machine is powered up, it will flash both lights seven times (Monitor Not Detected Fault).
This “fault” can be cleared by holding down the footswitch until the lights stop flashing.
