STP Service Setup Continued Electrical Connection Requirements Voltage Selection The STP operates on either 115V/230V AC; 45-930, 115V AC 4A 60 Hz ; 45-935, 230V AC 2A 50 Hz. Proper voltage will be preset at the factory. Fuse Replacement Disconnect power cord and remove the fuse cartridge using a small blade screwdriver or similar tool. Replace two fuses with recommended fuses. 45-930, 4AT 250V, 1/4” x 1-1/4”; 45-935, 2AT 250V, 5 mm x 20 mm, insert the fuse cartridge back into the unit makin

STP Operating Principles and Terms (continued) SPEED: Thermal Head Rotation SPEED refers to the rate of rotation by the Thermal Head of the STP. This is the rate at which the blades are rotated about the wire being stripped. The slowest speed is 1 and 10 the highest. Running at a faster speed requires a higher blade heat setting which may shorten the blade life. A superior strip quality is obtained at lower blade HEAT and SPEED settings. However, the various types and thicknesses of insulation m

STP Operation continued Heat Adjustment Heat can be adjusted by pressing [0] through [9] producing corresponding heat values of 0% through 90%. Pressing HIGH sets the heat at 100%. If ↑ the heat is set at 0%, the machine completes the cycle without using the blades. The heat can also be adjusted by pressing HEAT and using the [ ] and [ ] keys. The heat is adjusted from 0% to 100% in increments of 10%. Pressing the ENTER key exits from the heat entry mode and returns to the ready mode. If CL

STP Operation continued TWO STAGE CYCLE The TWO STAGE CYCLE is intended to break the STP’s stripping cycle into two separate stages; stage one is for cutting, stage two is removal. When the cable is inserted, the first stage will thermally cut the insulation. When this stage is completed and the cable is removed, the cable can be inspected for a complete cut, or the cable can be flexed to insure a complete cut has been achieved. When the cable is re-inserted into the STP, the slug is removed

STP Operation continued Slug Removal SINGLE CYCLE The STP can be used to remove the slug without applying heat to the blades, if the insulation has already been severed. This is accomplished by pressing “0” when the unit is in the “READY MODE”. The next cycle will run with zero heat and act only as a slug removal machine. When this cycle is completed, the STP returns to the previous settings. BATCH ENTER REPEATING CYCLE When the heat value is set to “0” percent the unit will perform the slug re

STP Operation continued Gripper Pad Replacement The STP has two sets of grippers. The front grippers hold the wire while the rear grippers pull off the slug. Both sets of grippers have pads that require periodic replacement. NOTE: To replace pads press caps firmly in place, then use a small screwdriver to pop up the tops so they catch on the inner shoulder of gripper. REAR GRIP PAD ASSEMBLY GRIPPER PIN HOLE FLAT TABS MUST ALIGN WITH GRIPPER PIN HOLE. FRONT GRIPPER REAR GRIPPER Front Gripper Pad
