To avoid personal injury, make sure all guards are

installed on the arbor frame assembly or

the auto--cycle unit before terminating the

connector.

2. Place cable into the flutes of the fluted plate, as

shown in Figure 2.

Cable conductors must stay in the same flutes for

the entire length of the fluted plate.

3. Insert connector into the lower insert using the

instructions supplied with the connector--specific

kit.

4. Slide cable through the connector so that the

end of the cable is against the cable stop. The

cable must be positioned between the cable

guides. When cable is properly positioned, close

the cable clamp. See Figure 2.

5. To actuate the ram for the arbor frame

assembly, slide lower tooling assembly toward rear

of base plate until it is positioned against the rear

tool stop. Pull down on the frame assembly handle

to terminate the cable to the connector.

To actuate the ram for the auto--cycle unit, slide

lower tooling assembly toward the rear of the

base plate until the sensing port closes. The

frame assembly will automatically cycle and

terminate the cable to the connector.

6. To retract the ram for the arbor frame assembly,

raise the tool handle. Slide tooling assembly out

from under the ram and remove the terminated

connector.

The ram will automatically retract when the

auto--cycle unit has completed the crimp cycle.

Slide the lower tooling out from under the ram to

remove the terminated connector.

7. Measure the termination height of the connector.

The dimension should conform to the termination

height dimensions provided in Application

Specification 114--40049. If the termination height

is incorrect, an adjustment to the ram height is

required. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied

with the appropriate frame assembly for ram height

adjustment procedures.
