5. TOOLING KIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
DANGER
To avoid injury, DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY before
attempting to install or remove tooling. A quick-
disconnect fitting is provided in the air line near the air
cylinder. See Figure 1.
DANGER
To avoid injury, the terminator should not be operated
without a connector in place.
To terminate a different modular plug type, remove the
current tooling kit and install the tooling kit for the
desired plug type. Refer to Figure 1.
5.1. Removal
1. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY by sliding the
release ring to separate the halves of the quick-
disconnect fitting.
2. Loosen the locking setscrews for the contact
inserter and strain relief stuffer. Remove the locking
screw that secures both stuffers.
3. Loosen the locknuts, back out the adjusting
screws, and slide inserter out of the ram.
4. Remove the nest by removing the securing
screw.
5.2. Installation
1. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY by sliding the
release ring to separate the halves of the quick-
disconnect fitting.
2. Secure the nest and cover with the screw in the
center nest.
3. Place contact inserter, then strain relief stuffer,
into ram. Locate the chamfered corner on the
stuffers to the same side as the adjusting screws.
4. Begin threading, but DO NOT tighten, the locking
screw that retains both stuffers. Both the contact
inserter and strain relief stuffer should slide freely in
place.
5. Turn the adjusting screws in the ram (clockwise)
for both stuffers so that they overlap the edge of the
stuffer by approximately 1.52 mm [.060 in.].
6. Lift the stuffers and hold them against the
adjusting screws while tightening the locking
setscrews. DO NOT overtighten the locking
setscrews. The setscrews should be tight enough to
hold the stuffers in place yet loose enough to allow
the stuffers to slide with resistance when adjusting
screws are turned.
7. Turn the adjusting screws several turns until they
begin sliding the stuffers against the locking
setscrews.
8. Securely tighten the stuffer locking screws.

9. Adjust the tooling for correct strain relief
operation and contact crimp height. See Section 5.
6. TOOLING ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting screws in the ram allow the stuffers to be
precisely adjusted downward. Stuffers should be
adjusted one at a time. Adjust the screws as follows:

NOTE
The tooling kit must be installed as described in
Paragraph 4.2, Installation, or adjustments may slip
during use.
DANGER
To avoid injury, DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY before
attempting to adjust tooling kits. A quick-disconnect
fitting is provided in the air line near the air cylinder.
DANGER
To avoid injury, the terminator should not be operated
without a connector in place.
1. DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY by sliding the
release ring to separate the halves of the quick-
disconnect fitting.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the locking screw.
See Figure 4.
3. Turn the adjusting screws clockwise to lower the
stuffer. One full turn clockwise on the adjusting
screw will lower the stuffer approximately 0.20 mm
[.008 in.].
4. Set the setscrews in the ram to allow the stuffer to
move when adjusted, but provide resistance to keep
pressure on the adjusting screw.
5. After the stuffer is lowered, tighten the locking
screw securely, and run samples to inspect the
termination.
6. Continue this process until the crimps are
satisfactory, then tighten the locknuts on the
adjusting screws. If adjustments are made beyond
the desired point, loosen the locking bolt and stuffer
setscrew; and turn the adjusting screws
counterclockwise several turns. Then reset and
adjust the tooling as described in Sections 4 and 5.
7. TERMINATION
DANGER
To avoid injury, the terminator should not be operated
without a connector in place.
1. Strip the cable according to Application
Specification 114-6016 for standard and small
conductor modular plugs and 114-6053 for high
performance modular plugs (Category 5). DO NOT
strip the insulation from individual conductors.
