1. Before initiating calibration procedure, cycle crimper 5 times.
To cycle, dial in a setting of 200 and run crimper down to
shutoff with no die set loaded.
2. Place the MC33 die into the die cone and install pressure
plate.
3. Insert an 8G MegaCrimp
®
coupling into die set. (See Photo 1)
4. Turn the knob to a setting of 245. (Rotating the knob on
front of switch box clockwise will increase the number;
counterclockwise will decrease the number. When changing
the setting, always move to a higher number then down to the
desired setting. Example: To change from 200 to 245, move
dial up to 300 then down to 245.)
5. Engage pump and complete crimp.
6. Remove coupling and measure crimp diameter, which should
measure 1.000”±.003”. To properly measure crimp diameter,
refer to Hose Assembly Guide instructions, Item #9, at the
beginning of this manual.
7. If crimp diameter is within this range, no adjustment is necessary.
8. If the crimp diameter is not within this range, the crimper must
be calibrated.
a. To get a smaller crimp diameter – change the
setting to a smaller number.
b. To get a larger crimp diameter – change the
setting to a larger number.
c. For every .001” change in crimp diameter,
change setting by 002. For example, to
increase the crimp diameter by .005”, increase
your setting by 010.
9. Turn knob to this new setting and crimp a new coupling.
10. After the correct diameter is achieved, pull the plastic cap
from the knob. Loosen the two (2) set screws in the brass
knob using a .05” Allen wrench approximately 1/4 to 1/2
turn. (See Photo 2.)
11. Turn brass knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to get
setting back to 245.
12. Tighten set screws and replace plastic cap.
13. Crimper is now calibrated.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Should actual crimp diameter NOT be within tolerance specified
in Crimp Data Charts, check crimper calibration. If calibration
is correct, a slight adjustment of the digital readout may be
necessary. To obtain a smaller crimp diameter, change the
digital readout to a smaller number, or vice versa. Changing the
digital readout by 002 (Example: 245 to 247) will increase the
crimp diameter by .001”.
Remember
to record your Actual adjusted crimp setting in the
column provided in the crimp data chart.
