2.1. Functional Description
The ELT machine provides the force required to crimp terminals in the applicator. A terminal is attached to the
wire by placing the wire in the crimp area and pressing the foot switch. The machine consists of four functional
areas:
1. The
motor group
includes a dc motor which drives a crankshaft. The motor is activated each cycle
and rotates the crankshaft one full revolution. A motor access cover, located on the end of the motor,
covers a hex key which allows the motor to be cycled manually. See Figure 4.

2. The
crankshaft–ram group
covers the motor rotational force to the up–and–down action of the ram
for driving the applicator during the crimping cycle.
3. The
base plate
provides the mounting surface on which the applicator is installed. The quick–release
latching feature on Machines –1, –2, –5, and –6 permits fast, easy installation and removal of the
applicator. Note that Machines –3 and –4, restricted to Asia/Pacific market, do not include the
quick–release latching feature. See Figure 5.
4. An
optional crimp height adjustment group
uses an eccentric located in the ram linkage, along
with detented stops in the mechanism to adjust the crimp height. Indexing the mechanism in either
direction will change the crimp height in increments of approximately 0.013 mm [.0005 in.] per step.

Install the lift ring
carefully
. A 19.05-mm [.75-in.] thread length engagement is required for the lift ring to su ort the
machine.
Attach a suitable hoist to the lift ring, lift the machine, and place it in the selected operating location.
Insert the reel support post into the appropriate hole on top of the machine (Figure 7) until the roll pin engages
a groove in the machine frame.
Attach the terminal strip guide included with the machine with the two thumbscrews supplied. Mount the guide
on the left guard for side–feed applicators. Mount the guide on the right guard for end–feed applicators.
Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical supply.
The machine will automatically detect the su ly voltage and adjust the controller accordingly.
Machines ex orted to Euro e will be installed by Tyco Electronics service engineers. These engineers will verify that
the electrical and neumatic connections are correct. Both neumatic and electrical connections must be installed in a
way that rovides a lockable isolation switch for hard-wired or direct i ed machines. This is necessary to interru t
ower to the machine for setu or maintenance.
3.3. Considerations Affecting Placement of Benc Mac ines
The location of the machine in relation to the operator’s position is extremely important in terms of both safety
and maximum efficiency. Studies have repeatedly shown that operator fatigue will be reduced, and greater
efficiency achieved, if:
1. the bench is of appropriate height, preferably with sound–deadening rubber mounts;
2. the machine is properly located on the bench with ample work areas on both sides to facilitate work
flow;
3. the operator uses a swivel chair with padded seat and back rest which are independently adjustable;
and
4. the foot switch, on machines so equipped, is placed on a rubber mat to maintain its movability, while
preventing it from sliding unintentionally.
Figure 9 illustrates proper machine location and operator position and the following:
A. Benc
The bench to be used should be of sturdy construction, preferably with rubber mounts to minimize noise. A
height of 762 to 812.8 mm [30 to 32 in.] is the most suitable for operator comfort and convenience. This
height allows the operator to rest both feet on the floor, thereby providing for the shifting of weight and leg
position.
B. Mac ine Location on Benc
The machine should be located near the front of the bench with the “target area” (tooling area where the
product is applied) not more than 152.4 to 203.2 mm [6 to 8 in.] from the front edge. This location will
eliminate unnecessary operator motion and help to avoid back strain and fatigue.
Orientation of the machine should be such that the “target area” is facing the front of the bench and is
parallel to the front edge (access to the back of the machine MUST also be provided).
Machines have rovisions for being bolted to the bench.
C. Operator's C air
The operator’s chair should swivel, and should have independent seat height and back rest adjustments.
The seat and back rest should be padded, and the back rest should be large enough to provide support
both above and below the waist line.

ELT Machin 1338600-[ ]
Rev
H11

Tyco Electronics Corporation
In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench so that the operator’s back is straight and is
supported by the back rest.
D. Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of a machine equipped with a foot switch, the foot should
rest on the switch comfortably. The foot switch should be movable, so that its location can be readily
changed when the operator shifts position to minimize fatigue. Placing the switch on a rubber mat keeps it
movable while preventing unintentional sliding.
The preferred foot switch location varies to some extent among operators. Some operators prefer the
switch located so that their foot rests on the switch when their feet are in the natural sitting position (calf of
leg perpendicular to the foot). Others prefer the leg to be slightly in front of the natural position. The
important thing to remember is that the foot should be at approximately 90
_
(right angle) to the calf when
resting on the switch. Those operators who prefer the foot switch slightly in front of the natural position
may require a wedge–shaped block placed under it.
E. Scrap R moval
A suggested method of scrap removal: place a tray on the right side of the machine, under the cast slot in
the frame, to capture the scrap chips.

4. OPERATION
4.1. Control Pan l Op ration
The basic control panel operation is as described in Figure 10. The control panel will be used to set up and
operate the machine (see Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4).
4.2. Applicator Installation
These instructions apply to Machines -1, -2, -5, and -6. Since Machines -3 and -4 do
not
contain a quick-release
eature, they do not contain a quick-change mounting base plate. The appropriate additional baseplate tooling will be
required on Machines -3 and -4.
Install the proper applicator in the quick–change mounting base as follows:
I the machine is equipped with a precision adjustment eature, make sure that the precision adjustment lever has
been returned to the 0" position be ore installing the applicator. Be sure that the applicator has the proper eed cam
prior to installation.
Applicators rom AMP-O-LECTRIC Model K" terminating machine and Model T" terminating machine can be used in
the ELT machine by using a special replacement cam. Re er to Figure 3.

1. Loosen the quick–release T–handle (see Figure 5) and slide the applicator base clamp down.
2. Place the applicator on the quick–change base plate, then slide it back until the two notches in the
applicator base engage the stops at the back of the quick–change base plate. At the same time, guide
the ram post into the ram post adapter.
3. Slide the applicator base clamp UP and re–tighten the quick–release T–handle to secure the
applicator in place.
When using Applicator 567200-2 (originally intended for use with AMP-O-LECT IC Model K" terminating machine),
loosen the quick-release T-handle, slide down the applicator base clamp, and remove the rear stop located on the left
side of the base plate. Install the rear stop (PN 354561-1), supplied with the air feed kit, at the alternate mounting
position on the base plate. See Figure 5.
4. Set the crimp height and insulation crimp discs so that the letters and numbers on the applicator pad
align with the front pad on the ram post adapter.
5. If the applicator is an air–feed type, connect the airlines to the valves located on the back of the
machine.
Quick Disconnect Coupling 23238-1 is required to run air-feed applicators.
6. Adjust the reel support for side–feed or end–feed product, depending on the applicator being used.
7. Mount the terminal strip guide on the left sheet metal guard for side–feed product, or on the right
sheet metal guard for end–feed product, depending on the applicator being used.
8. Mount the terminal reel on the reel support. Thread the terminal strip through the guard and into the
applicator according to the instruction sheet included with the applicator. If necessary, adjust the
lubricator bowl.
9. Align the product reel to the applicator by adjusting the reel flanges.
10. Close the guard.
The guard door must be closed in order to operate the machine, unless you are in the Jog (With Guards Disabled)
Mode. See Paragraph 4.4,C.

4.3. Setup
Install a miniature applicator and terminals according to Paragraph 4.1.
1. Turn on the main power using the switch located on the back of the machine.
2. Jog the machine (as described in Paragraph 4.3, B) through a complete crimp cycle.
Machi e should be able to jog through the termi al a d wire at maximum jog speed to determi e crimp capacity.
3. Inspect the crimped terminal to verify that the terminal is being positioned properly within the
applicator.
4. Correct for any positioning errors according to the applicator instruction sheet, and repeat Steps 2
and 3 until a terminal is properly positioned.
5. Place a prepared wire in the crimp area and press the foot switch.
6. Inspect the completed crimp and make adjustments as necessary.
4.4. Mo e Selection an Operation
The three basic modes of operation for the ELT machine include: Full–Cycle, Jog, and Jog (With Guards
Disabled).
A. Full-Cycle Mo e
Depressing the footswitch (with the guard closed) causes the crankshaft to be rotated (at a speed defined
by the speed control knob), through a complete revolution. This completes one full machine cycle.
B. Jog Mo e
(Figure 10)
Pressing the Jog button causes the crankshaft to be rotated at a default–reduced speed in the forward
direction until the Jog button is released or the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the Jog button is
released in mid–cycle and pressed again, the crankshaft will continue to rotate in the forward direction at
the default reduced speed. If the machine does not complete the cycle, either adjust the speed control
knob (as described below), or complete the cycle using the footswitch (at a speed determined by the
speed control knob) after the Jog button has been pressed and released.
Holding the Jog button down for more than five seconds will cause the machine to “err.” To clear the error,
“power down” the machine, clear the problem area, and then “power up” the machine again. An alternate
method of clearing the error is to hold down the foot pedal until the green status indicator stops flashing. If
the motor is stalled, it may be necessary to manually cycle the machine to the home position. Refer to the
CAUTION and DANGER statements below for the proper manual cycling procedure.
While i the Jog mode, attempti g to complete a crimp cycle with termi als a d wire i the applicator may cause the
motor to stall. Although the machi e ca termi ate some smaller termi als a d wire, it may be ecessary to tur off"
the machi e a d ma ually cycle the machi e to the home positio . Ma ually cycle the machi e by removi g the
access cover o the e d of the motor (Figure 7), e gagi g the hex key with a 6-mm hex wre ch, a d rotati g the key
to ma ually rotate the motor.
To avoid perso al i jury, be sure to remove the hex wre ch before operati g the machi e u der power. Be sure to
replace the access cover.
To avoid perso al i jury, exercise cautio whe joggi g or operati g Machi e -4. These machi es will jog/cycle with
the guards i the ope or closed positio .
Adjusting the Speed Control Knob
The default speed of the crankshaft in the Jog Mode is set to a minimum initial value which is
not
defined
by the initial position of the speed control knob. Adjusting the speed upwards enables jogging at speeds

greater than the default in case greater speeds are required to complete a cycle. To cause the crankshaft
to rotate at other than the initial default speed, the speed control knob must be rotated completely
counterclockwise
, then rotated back clockwise to the desired speed setting. If the Jog button is depressed
within three seconds of setting the speed control knob, the crankshaft will rotate at the speed defined by
the position of the speed control knob. The new speed setting will remain active for a maximum of three
seconds after the Jog button is released, or until the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the cycle is not
complete and the Jog button is again pressed within three seconds from its release, the crankshaft will
rotate at the speed defined by the position of the speed control knob. Failure to push the Jog button within
the three seconds of its release will cause the crankshaft jog speed to revert back to the initial minimum
default value. After the Jog button is released, the speed control knob can be rotated in either direction to
increase or reduce the crankshaft jog speed, but Jog button must be activated again within three seconds
of the release or the speed will revert back to minimum default speed. The speed control knob can be
reset as many times as desired.
The ram may drift downward if the Jog button is released in mid-stroke.
C. Jog (With Guards Disabled) Mode
(Figure 10)
Since Machine -4 does not employ safety interlock switches in the guard doors, this section does not apply to
Machine -4.
The foot pedal will NOT initiate cycling in this mode.
To a oid personal injury, be ery careful of mo ing mechanisms when jogging the machine with the guards open.
This mode allows maintenance and setup personnel to slowly rotate the crankshaft with the guard door
open. To activate this mode, turn “off” power, and open the guard door. Turn the power back “on” and,
immediately after the machine ready and guard disable indicators flash “on”, press and hold the Jog
button. The guard disable indicator will flash at a rate of two flashes per second, indicating that the guard
has been disabled. Pressing the Jog button will rotate the crankshaft at a reduced rate until the Jog button
is released or the crankshaft completes one cycle.
Pressing the Jog button causes the crankshaft to be rotated at a default–reduced speed in the forward
direction until the Jog button is released or the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the Jog button is
released in mid–cycle and then pressed again, the crankshaft will continue to rotate in the forward
direction at the default reduced speed. If the machine does not complete the cycle, see “Adjusting the
Speed Control Knob,” below.
Holding the Jog button for more than five seconds and not completing the cycle may cause the machine to
“err.” To clear the error, “power down” the machine, clear the problem area, and then “power up” the
machine. Another method of clearing an error is to hold down the foot pedal until the green status indicator
stops flashing. If the motor is stalled, it may be necessary to manually cycle the machine to the home
position. See the CAUTION and DANGER statements above for manual cycling.
Adjusting the Speed Control Knob
The default speed of the crankshaft in the Jog Mode is set to a minimum initial value which is
not
defined
by the initial position of the speed control knob. Adjusting the speed upwards enables jogging at speeds
greater than the default in case greater speeds are required to complete a cycle. To cause the crankshaft
to rotate at other than the initial default speed, the speed control knob must be rotated completely
counterclockwise
, then rotated back clockwise to the desired speed setting. If the Jog button is depressed
within three seconds of setting the speed control knob, the crankshaft will rotate at the speed defined by

the position of the speed control knob. The new speed setting will remain active for a maximum of three
seconds after the Jog button is released, or until the crankshaft completes the cycle. If the cycle is not
complete and the Jog button is again pressed within three seconds from its release, the crankshaft will
rotate at the speed defined by the position of the speed control knob. Failure to push the Jog button within
the three seconds of its release will cause the crankshaft jog speed to revert back to the initial minimum
default value. After the Jog button is released, the speed control knob can be rotated in either direction to
increase or reduce the crankshaft jog speed, but Jog button must be activated again within three seconds
of the release or the speed will revert back to minimum default speed. The speed control knob can be
reset as many times as desired.
The machine will exit the Jog (With Guards Disabled) Mode whenever the guards are closed or the power
is turned “off.”
The speed control nob in Figure 10 also adjusts the air feed timing. Normally the air feed timing is set at 280 ms.
When the speed control is set at less than 50% of its maximum setting (pointing straight down or countercloc wise
from pointing straight down), the air feed timing changes to 440 ms. This is done to accommodate applicators that
have longer than normal air cylinders.
The green flashing status indicator flashes a specific number of times to represent a corresponding fault. For
example, the green status indicator will flash two times (each followed by a one second pause) to indicate that
the machine guard opened while the machine was running. Refer to Figure 11.

4.5. Crimp Height Adjustment
On ELT machines that do not include the precision adjustment feature, the crimp height must be adjusted at
the applicator. Refer to the instructions provided with the applicator to perform this adjustment. Refer to
Paragraph 6.3 for procedures to adjust the crimp height using the ELT machine precision adjustment feature.
4.6. End-Feed/Side-Feed Applicator Conversion
When changing from an end–feed applicator to a side–feed applicator (or from a side–feed applicator to an
end–feed applicator), the reel support assembly must be moved to the opposite side of the machine. With the
terminal reel removed, lift and rotate the reel support bar to the opposite side of the machine. Mount the
terminal reel on the reel support and load the terminal strip into the applicator. Remove the metal terminal
lead–in and thumbscrews and move to the opposite side of the machine. Move the machine lubricator bowl to
the opposite side of the machine as required.
Lubricator Bowl Assembly 354550-1 is an optional accessory.

Crimp Height Adjustment Mechanism
NEVER attempt to adjust the shut height without FIRS trying an 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 the
shut height MUS NO BE CHANGED.
If it is determined that the shut height must be adjusted, use the following procedure:
o avoid personal injury, ALWAYS turn off" the machine and disconnect the power supply to the machine before
making any adjustments. If applicator is an air-feed type, DISCONNEC air lines to valve located on the right side of
the machine.
1. Check shut height as described in Paragraph 6.1.
2. If the shut height is incorrect, refer to Figure 14, and proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two socket head cap screws which secure the ram post adaptor. Remove the ram
post adaptor and shims. Change the shim thickness as required to adjust the shut height. Shims
contain .051–mm [.002–in.] peel–type laminations.
b. Re–install the ram post adaptor. Insert both screws in the ram post adaptor and place the shims
over the screws and onto the adaptor post.
c. Re–install the socket head cap screws into the ram assembly to secure the ram post adaptor.
Re–tighten the screws.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as necessary until the proper shut height is attained.
he miniature applicator is an integrated assembly consisting of upper tooling, lower tooling, and adjustment
capability. he applicator requires a fixed shut height; that is, the distance between the bottom of the ram and the base
mount when the ram is FULLY bottomed. he required adjustments for crimp height are made by using the wire and
insulation discs within the applicator. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied with the applicator for adjustment
procedures.
