Mobile Set-Up Instructions
INTRODUCTION:
T-412 is designed for use with the Coll-O-Crimp I machine. See page 4 for specifications. Due to the mobile equipment application, caution
must be taken when installing the DC unit. Adequate wiring is imperative for proper operation. If the battery is grounded to the engine, make sure the engine
is grounded to the frame of the vehicle with the same wire gauge used for the power unit cable. Attach the positive cable to the positive battery terminal.
Connect the opposite end of the positive cable to the power unit solenoid start switch while the DC unit is in operation. The vehicle’s engine must be running
to avoid battery discharge. Remember, the battery ground to the engine only is not sufficient. (See Diagram ‘B’ below). The current draw is several hundred
amperes, so adequate wire size and battery capacity is absolutely essential. (See Diagram ‘A’ below). Direct wire ground to battery. Welding cable recommended.
Set Up Instructions:
The following method of setting up your Coll-O-Crimp equipment package is offered as a guide and may be varied to suit your needs.
1.
Before opening any shipping cartons, be sure proper grounding and
wiring are used (See Diagram ‘A’ below).
a.
Checkfor a proper ground path. Aground from the battery to
only the engine is not sufficient. Be sure the battery is grounded
to the frame of the vehicle with the same gauge wire as the
cable required for the pump. (See Diagram ‘B’ below).
b.
The pump must be grounded to the vehicle frame and not to the
body. There are two 3/8-18 UNC tapped holes in the bottom of the
pump housing for mounting the pump to the vehicle frame.
c.
Since current draw can exceed 200 amperes during the crimping
cycle, adequate wire size is essential. Number 4 gauge wire is
required for a cable length of up to 20 feet from the battery to the
pump. Number 2 gauge wire is required for a cable length between
20 and 40 feet from the battery to the pump (see Diagram ‘A’ below).
d.
The 12 volt battery should have an ampere-hours rating of at
least 70 and have a minimum of 11 plates per cell. For constant
usage, when a large number of hose assemblies are to crimped,
it would be appropriate during crimping to run the engine at a
fast idle to maintain battery charge.
2.
Open the shipping cartons and remove all equipment and components.
3.
Prepare the mounting surface or surfaces for the Coll-O-Crimp press
and the DC pump. NOTE: Care should be taken to insure that the press
mounting surface is capable of supporting 113 pounds. The front edge
of the press will extend 8-5/8 inches beyond the edge of the mounting
surface. Figure 1, page 6, shows atypical bench layout forthe crimper.
Figure 2, page 6, shows a typical equipment set up with the DC Pump.
4.
Bolt the press to the mounting surface using 1/2 inch bolts.
5.
Remove the plug from the top of the press and connect the 4205X6X6
adapter from the hose assembly (T-400-21). This adapter can be
adjusted easily for the best alignment of the hose assembly after the
pump is mounted.

.
Place the T-412 DC pump on a properly grounded mounting surface
within convenient working distance of the press. Remove the plug
from the pressure port from the top-center of the pump housing and
connect the 4315X6X8 adapter from the hose assembly (T-400-21).
Loosely connect the T-400-21 hose assembly to the adapters in the
press and pump. Locate the pump so that the hose will appear as
shown in Figure 2, page 6.
7.
Locate and drill mounting holes forthe pump. There are two 3/8-16 UNC
tapped holes, 1/2 inch deep and five inches apart in the bottom of the
pump housing.
8.
Bolt the pump to the mounting surfaces.
9.
Tighten the hose connections.
Check once again to be sure the pump and battery are properly grounded
to the vehicle frame.
Run a #1, #4 or #2 gauge wire power cable directly from the ‘hot side’ of
the battery, or the ‘hot side’ of the engine starter solenoid, to the solenoid
start switch on the pump. The solenoid start switch is strap mounted to
the outside of the DC motor. The proper connection is the top post on the
solenoid which also has a small wire going into the actuator mounting box
on the side of the pump housing.
