2. DESCRIPTION
4. CENTER CONDUCTOR LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The production cable pointers are hand-fed pointers
that use a small diameter cutter to allow “pointing" of
pre-bent cable assemblies. Various standard center
conductor lengths may be obtained by means of a
simple adjustment.
To change the length of the center conductor, proceed
as follows:
1. Loosen the center conductor holder set screw.
2. Using appropriate gripping material (such as a
pencil eraser), turn the center conductor holder set
screw clockwise to shorten the center conductor
length; turn the center conductor holder set screw
counterclockwise to lengthen the center conductor.
3. POINTING PROCEDURE
1. Cut the coaxial cable to the length required.
2. Trim the cable jacket to expose the center
conductor. The following production cable trimmers
are available.
One complete turn equals approximately 0.15 mm
[.006 in.].
