1.2.3. Adjust the pushrod screw using a screwdriver and SCT32084 Adjustment Tool as shown in
figure 4B. Turn the pushrod adjustment screw clockwise to loosen the crimp (enlarge the gaging
dimension). Turn the pushrod adjustment screw counterclockwise to tighten the crimp (reduce the
gaging dimension).
1.2.4. Tighten the pushrod lock-nut using the SCT32084 adjustment tool as shown in figure 4A. Replace
the nose assembly and the two 8-32 socket head cap screws. Prevent binding by alternately turning
each screw a small amount until tight.
1.2.5. Check settings as described in section 1.1.
CAUTION: DO NOT ADJUST THE PUSHROD MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A TURN AT A TIME.
SEVERE ADJUSTMENT MAY DAMAGE THE TOOL.
1.3. RELEASING THE INDENTER
1.3.1. The SCTP series pneumatic Safe-T-Cable
®
tool has an internal cycle control feature which
prevents the indenter from returning if the crimping cycle is not completed. Therefore, if the
air pressure is insufficient or the tool is adjusted too tight, the tool may not complete the
crimp cycle and the indenter may not release the ferrule.
1.3.2. To release the indenter, loosen the two 8-32 socket head cap screws which retain the nose (see
figure 3). Activate the tool.
1.3.3. After the indenter has returned, tighten the 8-32 socket head cap screws as described in 1.2.4.
above.
1.4 ADJUSTING THE TENSION
1.4.1. Adjust cable tension using a screwdriver as shown in figure 5.
Turning the tension adjustment screw clockwise increases cable tension. Turning the tension adjust-
ment screw counterclockwise decreases cable tension. Proper cable tension is defined in section
4.0, the lowest cable tension setting which meets the requirements of section 4.0 should be used.
CAUTION: WHEN USING .020 CABLES NOT MANUFACTURED BY DMC, VERIFY TENSILE VALUES
USING THE SCT-TB1 TORQUE VERIFICATION BLOCK AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.0
AFTER INCREASING CABLE TENSION.
