Shut–Height Gage 679655–2 is used to set the
terminating machine shut height to the standard 5.346
inches at a load of 1800 pounds or 4.7047 inches @
1800 pounds for the 679655–3 machine.
This instruction sheet describes the use of
Shut–Height Gage 679655–2 or –3 (see Figure 1) to
verify or set the shut height in Model “K,” “KII,” and
“G” AMP–O–LECTRIC* Terminating Machines, as
well as the Entry Level Terminator (ELT) Machine,
and the DT 3000 Machine. Refer to the instructions
listed in Figure 2 for detailed operating and
maintenance information on the terminating
machines.
Shut–Height Gage 679655–2 and –3 is accurate to
+/– 0.012 mm [.0005 In.], but is calibrated at only one
point –– 1800 pounds at 5.346 inches or 4.7047
inches @1800 pounds. The spring rate of each
shut–height gage varies slightly and is not linear.
Because of this, shut–height gages are not
intended to calibrate any other height. Similarly,
the spring rate of each type of terminating machine
frame varies. The closer a given crimp is to 1800
pounds, the less crimp–height adjustment will be
necessary. Best results are achieved when changing
Heavy Duty Miniature applicators between like
machines.
1. Inspect the shut–height gage for damage it may
have incurred during transit immediately upon its
arrival at your facility. If damage is evident, file a
claim against the carrier and notify Tyco
Electronics immediately.
Figure 2
Read these instructions thoroughly before operating
the shut–height gage.
2. Inspect the shut–height gage for loose pieces,
broken calibration seals and effective calibration
date. If a shut–height gage is unfit for use, return
the gage to Tyco Electronics as described in
Section 8.
The shut height (which is pre–set at the factory) of a
terminating machine may change over time due to
wear or overloading. A machine with the correct shut
height will allow the change of Heavy Duty Miniature
applicators with minimal or no crimp height
adjustments.
3. Inspect the terminating machine for damage or
wear as described in the respective terminating
machine machine manual (see Figure 2). Repair or
replace as necessary.
