3 Strip each of the seven SmartSensor cable wires back about 1/4 in. (0.6 cm).
4 Insert the wires into the contacts and verify the wire is visible through the contact
inspection hole.
5 Crimp the wires by following the crimping tool instructions. Daniels Manufactur-
ing Company provides professional grade crimping tools and detailed instructions on
crimping. Wavetronix recommends the DMF AF8 M22520/1-01 or equivalent tool
for crimping.
6 Manually press the contacts into the back side of the connector plug.
7 Use a DMC DAK20 (or equivalent) insertion tool to fully seat the contact into the
connector plug. Check the mating face of the connector to ensure that all the contacts
are fully inserted. A DMC DRK20 extractions tool (or equivalent) is necessary to
remove a misplaced or misaligned contact.
8 read the back shell onto the connector plug. To keep the connector from rotating
during the threading process, connect the plug and coupling ring to a sensor connector
receptacle.
9 Press all of the connector parts together. read the strain relief onto the back shell.
10 Tighten the strain relief screws on the back.
