Packaged with every applicator is a parts list identifying the required machine number for that applicator. The
parts list also identifies the accessories necessary to convert the machine to the required configuration.
The basic machine is fitted to accept standard applicators, which are semi-permanently mounted to the machine
for production of one size and type of terminal without the need for frequent changeover of applicators or
changes in the applicator crimp height. The most frequent field conversion is a kit to adapt the machine for
miniature quick-change applicators, which are easily installed and removed and allow simple adjustment of the
crimp height. Instruction sheet 408-8022 provides a parts list for the kit and the necessary instructions for
converting a basic machine for standard applicators to miniature quick-change applicators.
An instruction sheet, packaged with each applicator, provides information on applicator installation, care, and
adjustment. The instruction sheet, the applicator parts list, and this manual collectively provide complete
documentation for the various production setups involving applicators and the Model "K" terminating machine.
When reading this manual, pay particular attention to DANGER, CAUTION, NOTE statements.
DANGER Denotes an imminent hazard which may result in moderate or severe injury.

2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. Physical Description
The basic machine consists of a cast-iron frame with a flywheel guard in back that is hinged to the frame. Inside
the guard is a 1/4-hp motor, flywheel assembly, transmission assembly, toggle lever, and feed actuating
components. Mounted on the right side of the frame, facing the operator, is the feed arm drive shaft and the
Rev Z 4 of 61
409-5128
vertical reel bracket assembly. The electrical system consists of a main power switch, work lamp, and panel light
located on the left front of the machine; a trip control box assembly inside the back cover; a foot switch; and
electrical wiring. The motor is bolted to a mounting plate that is hinged to the machine frame by a support pin.
The weight of the motor provides enough tension to the V-belt for driving the flywheel.
The basic machine does not contain a ram or base mount. These are supplied with the applicator or the
conversion kit. The ram is mounted behind the ram retaining plate on the front of the frame.
The frame contains holes for bolting the machine to a bench at a height convenient for the operator as described
in Section 3.

During the cycle, the cam on the rear face of the stop collar rides over the pin on the rear finger of the stop bar,
forcing it down to retain the clutch dog in the rest position at the end of the cycle. This brings the end of the front
finger of the stop bar in position to contact one side of the lobe on the front of the stop collar to prevent further
forward rotation of the drive shaft. At the same time, spring tension forces the backup latch in against the
opposite side of the lobe on the stop collar to prevent reverse rotation.
An eccentric arm is keyed to the forward end of the main shaft (see Figure 9). The arm is at TOP-DEAD-
CENTER when the machine is in the rest position. Attached to the arm is a spherical bearing link that actuates
the toggle lever subassembly.
Rev Z 5 of 61
409-5128
The toggle lever subassembly is secured in the frame by the toggle arm pin at the front (see Figure 4). This pin
acts as the pivot point. Another pin connects the link to the lever, and the opposite end of the link is connected to
the ram by a pin.
The feed actuating mechanism (see Figure 13) is driven by the toggle lever. The feed connecting rod is joined to
the toggle lever by a pin and clevis. A compression spring is installed over the connecting rod, extending from
the clevis to the feed actuating block at its lower end. The spring absorbs the overaction and allows for feed
adjustment. The feed actuating arm joins the feed actuating block on its inner end, and the feed arm drive shaft
on the outer end, to oscillate the shaft in the bracket attached to the frame. The upward travel of the arm is
limited by the forward stop screw and its downward travel by the damper screw.

3. RECEIVING INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION
3.1. Receiving Inspection
These machines are thoroughly inspected during and after assembly. A final series of inspections is made to
ensure the proper functioning of each machine before packaging and shipping.
However, damage may occur during shipment. While unpacking the machine, remove the outer bands from the
carton or crate, lift off the outer box, and CAREFULLY inspect the complete machine for damage. If damage is
evident, file a claim against the carrier and notify Tyco Electronics Corporation, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
A. Bench
A sturdy bench 711 to 762 mm [28 to 30 in.] high aids comfort by allowing the operator's feet to rest on the
floor and the weight and leg position to be easily shifted. The bench should have rubber mounts to reduce
noise. An open area under the bench should allow the chair to slide far enough in for the operator's back to be
straight and supported by the chair backrest.
C. Operator's Chair
The operator's chair should swivel, and the seat and backrest should be padded and independently
adjustable. The backrest should be large enough to support the back both above and below the waist. In use,
the chair should be pulled far enough under the bench so that the operator's back is straight and supported by
the backrest.

409-5128
Figure 6
Rev Z 9 of 61
409-5128
D. Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of the machine, the foot should rest on the switch
comfortably and easily. The switch should be placed on a rubber mat: this allows it to be movable and permits
the operator to shift positions to reduce fatigue, while at the same time the mat prevents the switch from
sliding unintentionally.
The preference for locating the switch varies among operators. Some like the switch located so that their foot
rests on the switch when their leg is in the natural sitting position (calf perpendicular to the floor). Others
prefer it slightly in front of the natural position. The important thing is that the foot be about 90_ to the calf
when resting on the switch. Those who prefer the switch slightly forward may require a wedge-shaped block
placed under it.
Figure 7
3.3. Installation
The machine is bolted to the shipping pallet. Cut away the remaining carton, remove the bolts securing it to the
pallet, then remove the yellow plug and top access hole cover. Attach the hook of an adequate hoist to the
machine, as shown in Figure 8, to lift it from the pallet and place it in the selected location. The approximate
weight of a complete machine is 123 Kg [272 lb.].
Place the machine on a sturdy bench conforming to the requirements in Paragraph 3.2. The location must have
the necessary electrical supply (with a separate ground) and, for air-equipped machines, the necessary air
supplies. A 1/4-in. NPT male fitting is required to connect the air to the machine.
CAUTION Do NOT connect the machine to the electrical outlet, or to the air, until specified. The adequacy of both the electrical
power and air supply should be checked at the machine location..
!
Install a 40-watt appliance bulb, of the proper voltage rating, in the work lamp. A bulb of greater wattage will
damage the shade. Position the foot switch on the floor convenient for the operator.
BEFORE connecting the machine to the electric source and air supply, hand-cycle it according to the procedure
in Paragraph 4.1 to ensure proper alignment and adjustment of tooling in the applicator (if installed) to prevent
damage.

7. ADJUSTMENTS
The following adjustments are required to maintain the machine in continuous operation and to set it up after
replacement of parts.
DANGER To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the electrical and air supply, before performing any adjustment, unless
otherwise specified.
STOP
Figure 12
Adjustment of the base mount determines the distance between the base mount and the ram at the bottom of
the stroke (half cycle of the machine). This adjustment controls the crimp height of terminations produced in
standard applicators, and the shut height of the machine for miniature applicators.
For the standard applicators, the main part, including the lower tooling, is attached to the base mount. The
independent upper tooling is attached to the machine ram. Raising or lowering the base mount, then, will change
the distance (and the resulting crimp height) between the upper and lower tooling at the bottom of the ram
stroke.
Machines shipped from the factory with the base mount installed for a particular application have the base
mount adjusted and the two retaining caps screws secured to discourage further adjustment. Only when it is
necessary to replace parts, or when converting the machine to another configuration, should adjustment be
required.
The miniature quick-change applicator has the upper tooling, lower tooling, and the means for adjusting their
relationship all incorporated in an integrated assembly. This type applicator requires a fixed shut height. In other
words, the distance between the base mount and ram at the bottom of the stroke is a given dimension not
subject to change. The required changes in crimp height are made by using the adjusting means (wire and
insulation discs) within the applicator.
CAUTION If the machine is set up for miniature applicators, NEVER attempt to adjust the shut height without FIRST trying another
applicator that is known to produce terminations of the correct crimp height. If this applicator produces correct
! terminations, the trouble is in the original applicator-and shut height MUST NOT BE CHANGED.
With a properly adjusted applicator installed in the machine, and loaded with terminals as described in the
applicator instructions, adjust for correct crimp height/shut height as follows:
Rev Z 17 of 61

When specified to loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws in the following procedure, ALWAYS remove any
CAUTION
clearance between the adjustment block and the base mount by turning the adjusting screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE, as
viewed from left side of the machine.
!
NOTE If the crimp height of the terminal is KNOWN to be GREATER than the specified crimp height, omit Steps 1 and 2;
otherwise perform ALL steps.
i
1. Loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws, and lower the base mount to lowest position by rotating
the adjusting screw clockwise, as viewed from left side.
2. After base mount has been lowered, tighten the base mount screws to secure it to frame.
3. Insert a wire of the proper gage into the lead terminal, and hand-cycle the machine through one complete
cycle.
4. Check crimp height of termination (for the method of measurement, refer to 408-7424. If crimp height is
greater than specified for the type terminal and wire size being used (refer to the data plate on applicator or to
the applicator parts list), continue with Step 5. If correct, continue with Step 6.
5. Loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws, then raise base mount by turning the adjusting screw
counterclockwise, as viewed from left side, one-quarter turn. This will raise the base mount approximately
0.41 mm [.016 in.]. Tighten the base mount screws, and repeat Steps 3 and 4.
6. After producing terminations of the correct crimp height by hand-cycling machine, produce terminations
under power to ensure crimp height is correct. If not, make further adjustment by repeating Steps 3 and 4.
7.3. Feed Mechanism Damper Screw and Rear Stop Screw Adjustments (Figure 13)
Although the damper screw and rear stop screw are supplied with the basic machine, they are used only with the
mechanical feed arm assembly (which is available as an accessory). When the feed arm assembly is not
installed, both screws are turned all the way in and secured with their jam nuts.
Should adjustment be required, see Paragraph 10.1.

The "K" terminator is supplied with guarding for the most popular of AMP's end-feed and side-feed applicators.
The guarding consists of a metal shroud and a clear, plastic guard. Some applications require a special guard,
which may or may not be shipped with the terminal applicator. In some cases, the applicator log sheet (shipped
with the applicator) lists the guard required on the parts list. Check this log first to determine if it is specified. If it
is not, refer to the table in Figure 14 for a list of common inserts. If your application falls outside the options listed
in Figure 14, contact the Tooling Assistance Center to determine the correct guard required.
To install the correct plastic guard, remove the screws, spacers, washers, and nuts holding the plastic guard to
the metal shroud. Take care to note their positions for correct reinstallation. Replace the plastic guard with the
correct guard for your application and reinstall the fastener hardware to secure it in position with the access slot
aligned to the applicator.

10. Check to see that approximately three threads are exposed below the adjusting locknuts on feed
connecting rod when locknuts are tight.
11. Continue to hand-cycle until machine returns to TOP-DEAD-CENTER.
12. Cycle machine under power to check for proper adjustment of feed arm. If necessary, make further
adjustment with feed adjusting knob, and then lock feed adjusting clevis by tightening locknut. If necessary,
adjust feed finger tension as described in the applicable applicator instructions.

Two adjustments can be made to the air feed valve assembly. One is adjusting the operating arm on the
mechanical feed arm drive shaft; the other is adjusting the flow control valve.
Adjust the operating arm as follows:
1. Make sure machine is at TOP-DEAD-CENTER. If necessary, hand-cycle it to obtain the condition.
2. Disconnect air line to flow control valve.
3. Apply air pressure to the on-off valve. If the valve is not fully open, loosen two screws in operating arm and
rotate arm as necessary to open valve fully, then tighten screws.
NOTE If the machine has a damper screw and/or forward stop screw (see Figure 22), screws MUST be backed off so that they
are not active.
i
4. Hand-cycle machine through one cycle of operation to be sure valve is closing at bottom of ram stroke.
Connect air line that was disconnected in Step 2. Disconnect air supply.
Adjust the flow control valve as follows:
To adjust the flow control valve, an applicator must be installed in the machine and loaded with terminal strip.
With the air supply connected, hand-cycle the machine through several complete cycles. During cycling,
check the speed of the feed stroke-keeping in mind that the speed of the feed stroke is basically the same
whether hand-cycled or operated under power. The feed stroke should be slow enough to prevent
overfeeding or deformation of terminals. Note, however, that a feed stroke that is too slow will hinder
production by the operator.
1. Loosen locknut on flow control valve.
2. To decrease speed, turn adjustment screw clockwise; to increase speed, turn adjustment screw
counterclockwise.
3. After adjustment, tighten locknut, then disconnect air supply.
C. Replacement
There are no special procedures required for replacement of parts in the air feed valve assembly. Refer to the
exploded view and parts list for detail parts. If it is necessary to repair the quick-exhaust valve (Item 7), install
Valve Repair Kit 22989-1 (diaphragm and gasket) as shown in Figure 25.

1. Make certain the machine is at TOP-DEAD-CENTER. If necessary, hand-cycle it to obtain this condition.
2. Install applicator and feed finger as described in the applicator instructions supplied with the applicator. The
air feed valve assembly must be installed and adjusted as described in Paragraph 10.2.
3. Load terminal strip into applicator in accord with applicator instructions.
4. Check angle of feed adjusting bracket. It should be positioned so the cylinder and feed finger are in a
straight line. If necessary, loosen the swivel screw, and raise or lower the cylinder to obtain the correct
position. Tighten the swivel screw.
5. If applicable, check mounting screws in feed swivel bracket. They should be centered in the slotted holes. If
not centered, loosen screws and adjust bracket position, and then tighten screws.
6. Check that lead terminal is centered over anvil. If prefeed assembly, leave air supply disconnected.

7. Check that feed finger is against feed point in terminal strip for lead terminal. If not, loosen lockscrew
securing feed adjusting block, and turn feed adjusting screw, as required, until feed finger is against feed point
and lead terminal remains centered over anvil. Tighten lockscrew to secure adjustment.
8. Check position of piston positioner. It must be one feed length (as specified on the applicator parts list) plug
enough overtravel on the feed finger retract stroke to drop into the next feed point. If not, loosen two screws
securing it to piston rod and slide in the required direction to obtain this dimension, and tighten screws to
secure it.
9. Connect air supply. This will retract feed finger to pick up next feed point in terminal strip.
10. Hand-cycle machine to extend-feed finger fully, and then check that terminal is centered on anvil. If not,
adjust feed adjusting block as described in Step 7.
11. Continue to hand-cycle machine to return it to the rest position. If necessary, adjust feed finger tension as
described in the applicable applicator instructions.
12. Cycle machine under power several times to check for proper adjustment. If necessary, repeat preceding
steps as required.
13. With adjustment completed, disconnect air supply.

10.5. Optional Reel Bracket Assemblies and Associated Parts (Figure 32)
A. Description
Left-Hand Reel Bracket Assembly 694925-2 is used with the vertical reel bracket assembly supplied with the
basic machine. This assembly is required when the terminal strip must enter the applicator from the left side of
the machine. It is attached to the vertical reel support with two thumbscrew knobs for easy removal and
installation. The assembly is included in Conversion Kit 690675-2 covered by 408-8022.
The 30° vertical reel bracket mount is required for mounting the vertical reel bracket assembly to the machine
frame when applicators are at a 30° angle on the machine base mount.
Horizontal Reel Bracket Assembly 692613-1 is required when the terminal strip must be fed into the applicator
vertically and from the left side of the machine. It may be necessary to drill and tap the machine frame, as
shown, to install the assembly. This assembly, supplied as Conversion Kit 692613-1, is also covered in
408-8022.
Dual Conversion Kit 694925-4 is required to convert the vertical reel bracket assembly, supplied with the basic
machine, to two-reel capabilities. As noted on the illustration, certain parts on the vertical reel bracket
assembly must be removed to install the conversion kit, while other parts are re-installed in the same location
but in a different manner. The terminal strips from both reels are fed around and through the dual-stock guide,
and into the applicator.
Reel Spreader Assembly 453596-1 is used with the vertical reel bracket assembly. The purpose of the
assembly is to spread the sides of the reel to prevent terminals or strip from being deformed as it is being
unreeled. Holes for mounting the assembly are predrilled in the vertical reel support.
B. Replacement
There are no special procedures required for the replacement of parts. Refer to the illustration and parts list in
the supplied drawings for detail parts when replacement is necessary.
