CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
When the crimper is correctly calibrated, the ram will extend and fully
close the die set. After the die set is fully closed, the time from which
the pump starts to build pressure and the point at which the motor
shuts of automatically will be approximately 1 second.
Many problems associated with incorrect crimp diameters are caused
by incorrect calibration.
CALIBRATION
„ „ „ „ „
Insert the Standard Pressure Plate, any die set,
and the compression ring in the order illustrated.
„ „
„ „
„
Set the Micro-Crimp adjuster at “95”
„ „
„ „ „
Press and hold the start Switch
„ „ „ „ „
If the ram extends closing the dies to their fully
closed position and the motor shuts off approximately 1 second after
the pump starts to build pressure (the sound of the pump will change),
then the crimper is correctly calibrated.
„ „
„ „ „
If the crimper requires re-calibration, hold the
micrometer barrel with a 5/16 inch open end wrench
and rotate the stem either in or out with a 5/32 in hex
key wrench.
If the time from which the pump starts to build
pressure is greater than approximately 1 second,
rotate the stem out slightly.
If the time is less than approximately 1 second, rotate
the stem in slightly.
