DANGER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PREVENT INJURY Safeguards are designed into AMP machines to protect operating personnel from most hazards during normal machine operation. However, as with most machinery, certain precautions must be taken by the operator and repairman. Never insert hands into an installed machine/applicator, or any part of a machine that is operated by electricity or com pressed air, without first pulling the machine power cable plug from the outlet receptacle and/or shutting off the com pressed air at the line valve and disconnecting the air hose.
RECEIVING INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION Receiving Inspection The machines are thoroughly inspected during and after assembly. Prior to packaging and shipping, a final series of tests and inspections is made to ensure proper functioning. While the machine should require no adjustments before placing it in operation, the following inspection should be performed as a safeguard against potential problems generated in transit.

Machine Location on the Bench The machine should be located near the front of the bench and securely bolted to remain stationary. The target area (tooling area where the terminal is applied) should be 6 to 8 in. from the front edge. This elimi nates unnecessary operator motion and helps prevent back strain and fatigue.
Machine Installation With the considerations outlined in Paragraph B, locate the machine in a well-lighted area with adequate electrical power and air supply. After positioning the machine on a sturdy bench, it is advisable to secure it with bolts or screws to prevent movement.
Section 4 contains step-by-step instructions for the machine operator. Maintenance personnel will find, in addition to Section 6, Preventive Maintenance, necessary and helpful information in Section 2 for diagnos ing cycling problems, and in Section 5 for making adjustments.

THE MACHINE NUMBERS IN COLUMN (B) HAVE BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE RESPECTIVE MACHINE NUMBERS IN COLUMN (A). 469181-4 AND -6 HAVE BEEN SUPERSEDED BY 1-469181-3 AND 1-469181-5 RESPECTIVELY . THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SUPERSEDED MACHINES AND THE LATER MODELS IS IN THE ANVIL HOLDER.
The anvil holder is mounted to the machine frame. The anvil is held in place in the anvil holder by the stripper plate (15). The wire positioner (4) is mounted on the anvil holder and helps ensure that the wire is positioned for a perfect crimp.
Air pressure supplied to the machine passes through the air filter to provide clean air for the air valves, pilot actuators, and the air cylinders. For electrical connections to the solenoid valves, refer to Figure 8-4. 2.2. Switches and Controls (Figure 2-1) All switches and controls for operating the machine are located at the front within easy reach of the operator.

Fuse and Fuse Holder (F1) The fuse protects the machine circuitry in the event of a short" within the wiring or one of the electrical components. Should the machine fail to operate and the indicator lamp does not light when the RUN pushbutton is depressed, FIRST check the fuse and replace if necessary. Feed Switch (S2) The feed switch is operated by depressing the FEED pushbutton.

This diverts air pressure through the valve to the extension side of the ram cylinder.
With switches (S5 and S6) closed," the terminal feed solenoid valve (L2) is energized. This diverts air pres sure through the valve to the retraction side of the feed cylinder to retract the feed finger and allow switch (S4) to open" and break the circuit to the ram extend solenoid valve (L3). This also supplies air pressure to pilot actuators "close"...
The machine is now back in the standby condition and all solenoid valves are de-energized. Air pressure is being supplied to the retraction side of the ram cylinder and to the extension side of the feed cylinder and pilot actuator on switch (S4). With the machine in the standby condition, terminals can be fed into the target area"...
3.2. Preloading Alignment Check (Figure 3-1) BE SURE the electrical and air supply are disconnected before starting DANGER this procedure. Remove anvil guard (2) and ram guard (3) by removing screws (1) securing each to the machine frame. Remove the four screws (14) securing the anvil holder (17) to the frame. Remove stripper plate (15) from anvil holder (17) and remove the anvil (16);...
3.3. Terminal Strip Loading (Figure 3-2) MAKE SURE the electrical plug and air supply are disconnected. DANGER Place a reel of the correct type of terminals on the reel support so the terminal strip enters the groove in back of the feed plate with the open U" toward the back of the machine. Rotate the drag lever to release and hold drag open (back), then feed terminal strip through strip guide, and groove in feed plate until the end reaches the feed finger.
Tighten locknut after making adjustment. Check ram rest switch S5, on ram retaining plate (4), to be sure it is actuated open" by socket head cap screw (13). If necessary, adjust switch as described in Section 5.
After the ram has fully retracted, remove the terminal and inspect it in accordance with Para graph 3.4. If necessary, make any adjustments that may be required as described in Section 5. At completion of this check, perform automatic crimping check as described in Paragraph 3.4,D.
Paragraph 3.4,C except that the manual ram advance control must be fully open, pushbutton depressed, foot switch depressed cycle machine. T erminations must conform to the requirement set forth in Paragraph 3.5. If necessary, make any adjustments that may be required as described in Section 5.
Figure 3-6. The crimp height must be within +/-.003 in. of the measurement specified for the type terminal and size wire being used, as obtained from your AMP Field Engineer. If a common crimp height is used for several different terminal combinations, the crimp height must be +/-.001 in.
MACHINE PRODUCTION OPERATION Before placing the machine in production operation, be sure it has been properly setup and checked out according to procedures in Section 3. Perform production operation as follows: Connect the machine to the adequate air supply. Plug the electrical plug into the convenient electrical outlet. Be sure all guards and covers are in place.
Increase or decrease the crimp height by turning the adjustment knob on the right side. The letter A" produces the minimum crimp height (tightest) and the letter F" the maximum crimp height (largest), or approximately .005 in. between letters. Refer to Figure 5-1. If, after performing several crimping test cycles manually and under power, the desired crimp height cannot be obtained, set the adjustment knob on the letter A"...
12. Perform manual and power crimping procedures, and then the termination inspection as described in Section 3 to be sure the crimp height is correct. If not, repeat Steps 4 through 12 until correct crimp height is obtained. Perform Step 2 for fine adjustment.

Make any repairs that may be necessary by referring to the electrical schematic in Figure 2-3 and the wiring diagram in Figure 8-4. Inspect all air lines for loose connections. Make any necessary repairs by referring to the machine pneumatic diagram (Figure 2-2).
If only the anvil is to be replaced, install the new anvil using the reversed removal procedure. If the wire positioner (4) is to be replaced, loosen screw (1) and remove the wire positioner. Install the new wire positioner by using the reversed removal procedure.
