3. After the wire barrel is properly positioned,

release the rollers to allow the jaws to spring shut,

holding the terminal or splice in place.

4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel until

the wire bottoms.

5. Activate tool to complete the crimp. Open the

crimping jaws by squeezing the adapter rollers

together; then remove the crimped terminal or

splice.

6. If crimping a splice, position the uncrimped end

in the crimping chamber and repeat the crimping

procedure.

7. Inspect terminal or splice to ensure a proper

crimp. Refer to Figure 4.

A properly crimped terminal or splice will display

a crimp dot code on the terminal insulation. For

applicable crimp dot codes, refer to Figure 2.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR

SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or

inspection procedures.

Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance

and inspection program be performed periodically to

ensure dependable and uniform terminations. The

adapter should be inspected once a month.

Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to suit

your requirements through experience, and depends

on:

1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the

adapter.

2. The type and size of the products crimped.

3. The degree of operator skill.

4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and

dirt.

5. Your own established standards.

Each adapter is thoroughly inspected before

packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage

during shipment, the adapter should be inspected

immediately upon arrival at your facility in accordance

with Figure 5 and Paragraph 5.2,B, Gaging the

Crimping Chamber.
