Calibration

Must do Part I and Part II

  

WARNING : Maintain clear distance  

  

from all moving parts.

The calibration procedure below will calibrate the Danfoss FT1380 crimp 
machine to the original factory setting. While new machines are calibrated 
at the factory and will be ready to use out of the crate, this procedure 
should be followed if the crimp machine has been disassembled or has 
had components replaced. The procedure requires the use of an FT1380-
200-M240 die cage, a TTC/Z Series -8 fitting and a TTC/Z Series -12 fitting.

1. 

        CAUTION: 

While in the calibration mode, follow the instructions 

precisely and press the keys deliberately. If a mistake is made, the 
calibration procedure must be started over from the beginning.

Part I

1. 

Insert an FT1380-200-M240 die cage.

2. 

Press the STORE and ENTER buttons simultaneously, then release. Both 
button lights will now be illuminated and will remain so until the 
calibration procedure is finished.

3. 

Enter in the value of “100” using the keypad. (Don’t hit enter.)

4. 

Center a TTC/Z Series -8 fitting (without a hose) in the die cage, 
holding the socket or fitting in place with a pencil or other suitable 
tool. Crimp the socket by depressing the crimp switch until the 
machine retracts by itself, indicating a completed cycle. Allow the 
crimp ring to return to the “soft retract” position.

5. 

Using a set of calipers, measure the crimp diameter. The preferred 
method is to use the average of the four pairs of indentations.

6. 

Locate the crimp diameter in Table A, below. Using the keypad, enter 
in the three-digit Display Reading that corresponds to the Crimp 
Diameter.

Note:

 If your Crimp Diameter falls between the numbers shown in Table A, 

simply determine or interpolate the Display Reading, since the numbers are 
a direct ratio.

Part II

1. 

Enter in the value of “400” using the keypad. (Don’t hit enter.)

2. 

Center a TTC/Z Series -12 fitting (without a hose) in the die cage, 
holding the socket or fitting in place with a pencil or other suitable 
tool. Crimp the socket by depressing the crimp switch until the 
machine retracts by itself, indicating a completed cycle.

3. 

Repeat steps 5 and 6 at left, except use Table B instead of Table A for 
the -12 fitting.

4. 

After the three-digit Display Reading is entered, the machine will 
automatically exit the calibration mode.

Calibration Example

Part I

Crimp a TTC/Z Series -8 fitting and measure the four crimp diameters 
around the socket. For example, the diameters measure .942, .946, .945 and 
.945 inches, to obtain the average diameter, add the four diameters and 
divide that sum total by 4.

(.942+.946+.945+.945)/4  = (3.778 )/4= 0.9445 = 0.945   
(round to nearest thousandth)

Look at the Crimp Diameter column in Table A and find your average 
diameter. If it falls between two numbers, as this one does, interpolate the 
desired setting. In this case, you would enter 045. If your crimp diameter 
was .940, you would enter 040; if it was .942, you would enter 042.

Part II

Crimp a TTC/Z Series -12 fitting and measure the four crimp diameters 
around the socket. This time, let’s say that the diameters measure 1.247, 
1.249, 1.249 and 1.248 inches. Average the measures by adding the four 
diameters and dividing that sum total by 4.

(1.247+1.249+1.249+1.248)/4  = (4.993)/4 = 1.24825 = 1.248   
(round to nearest thousandth)

Look at the Crimp Diameter column in Table B and find your average 
diameter. If it falls between two numbers, as this one does, interpolate the 
desired setting. In this case, you would enter 348. If your crimp diameter 
was 1.250, you would enter 350; if it was 1.249, you would enter 349.
