3.1. Lower Tooling Assembly

1. Remove the tool stop from the slide base of the

arbor frame assembly.

2. Slide the lower tooling assembly into the tracks

of the frame assembly slide base. The cable clamp

spring must be oriented to the left side of the slide

base as shown in Figure 1.

3. Re--install the tool stop and secure it with the

socket head cap screw.

3.2. Upper Tooling Assembly

1. Remove the upper tool mount (supplied with the

arbor frame assembly) by removing the two flat

head cap screws. Do not discard this tool mount.

2. Install the tool mount (supplied with the crimper

assembly) to the ram of the arbor frame assembly

and secure it with the flat head cap screws.

3. Position the crimper in the tool mount with the

longer offset to the right (as shown in Figure 1).

Secure crimper to tool mount with the socket head

cap screw.

4. TOOLING ADJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments are required during the

initial setup of the crimper assembly and when

changing cable size.

4.1. Cable Clamp Springs

The cable clamp springs can be adjusted for various

cable diameters by loosening the socket head cap

screws and re--positioning the cable clamp springs.

4.2. Crimp Height

To check crimp height, a test crimp should be made

(refer to Section 5); then, measure the crimp height of

the backshell ferrule. Refer to the appropriate

application specification (114--series) for the crimp

height. If the actual crimp height does not conform to

that dimension, proceed as follow:

1. Loosen the setscrew on the adjustment ring.

Turn the adjustment ring CLOCKWISE to increase

crimp height or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to

decrease crimp height.

2. Re--tighten the setscrew.

5. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

Refer to Figure 2 and proceed as follows:

1. Using the ball handle, slide the lower tooling

assembly out from under the ram of arbor frame

assembly.

2. Position the connector backshell assembly in

the support block.
