PROBLEM: THE CRIMPER WILL NOT RUN AT ALL:
• Check the E-Stop switch to be certain that is not depressed. A slight twist is required to release switch after
it has been depressed.
• The PLC (Programmable Logic Control) must be reset. See instructions on the previous page.
PROBLEM: THE CRIMPER RUNS BUT IS SLOW OR NON-FUNCTIONAL:
• Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper’s requirements shown on the voltage tag attached to the
crimper cord. Many performance problems are the result of low voltage or inadequate electrical service.
• Check motor rotation and be certain that the motor rotates in the direction of the arrow on the motor housing.
Note:
For three-phase units, rotation can be reversed by switching any two wires in the plug.
PROBLEM: THE CRIMPER WILL CLOSE ON THE FITTING BUT DOES NOT DEVELOP
POWER TO COMPLETE THE CRIMP:
• Position the master dies to the fully opened position and check the hydraulic oil level in the sight glass window
on the front of the reservoir. Be sure that the oil level is in the middle of the sight glass window.
Note:
Use ISO grade 46 hydraulic oil.
PROBLEM: THE CRIMPER WILL NOT OPEN TO RETRACT POSITION IN AUTO MODE:
•
The retract position must be at least 3 mm larger than the final crimp diameter.
If problems persist, contact Customer Service for additional troubleshooting assistance.
