GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CRIMPER
ELECTRONIC DIAL INDICATOR - CALIBRATION
Activate Crimper
To activate the crimper, press and hold the pump power switch while watching
the LED on the front of the indicator Knob. The crimper will begin to close and
the central indicator pin on the knob will rise. Once the LED is illuminated,
release the pump power switch. Stopping the pump (Activate the release knob on
power unit) will allow the oil to drain back to the tank and the crimper will then
open.
Measure Assembly
Remove the assembly from the machine and measure across the flats of the
crimped area. Refer to page 44 of the manual for correct measuring procedure.
The measurement should read the diameter stated on the e-Crimp™ application
for the specified coupling. If the measurement does not read the specified
dimensions the dial indicator needs to be calibrated until the crimped outside
diameter of the Mega Crimp® coupling is correct.
Measurement Adjustment for a LARGER DIAMETER
On the rear of the machine a hexagon knob is located on the Dial Indicator.
Push the arm of Dial Indicator towards the front of the machine while holding the
hexagon knob. Gently turn the knob one flat CLOCKWISE (1/6 of a full turn) and
release the Dial Indicator arm. The Arm will lock the hexagon knob back into position.
1 flat (1/6 full turn) of rotation is equivalent to 0.0018” of crimped outside
diameter.
2 flats (2/6 full turn) of rotation are equivalent to 0.0036” of crimped outside
diameter.
Measurement Adjustment for a SMALLER DIAMETER
Push the arm of Dial Indicator towards the front of the machine while holding the
hexagon knob. Gently turn the knob one flat COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (1/6 of a full turn)
and release the Dial Indicator arm. The Arm will lock the hexagon knob into position.
1 flat (1/6 full turn) of rotation is equivalent to 0.0018” of crimped outside
diameter.
2 flats (2/6 full turn) of rotation are equivalent to 0.0036” of crimped outside
diameter.
Measure Assembly
Crimp the same Mega Crimp® coupling again to check the calibration. If the
crimper is still not accurate, follow the adjustment instructions above to suit
requirements.
