GC96 Display Panel Operation
After applying power to the GC96, the control panel will load the “MAIN WORKING
DISPLAY”. This takes several seconds to load. The Control Panel is TOUCH SCREEN
therefore the designated circles on the screen perform as functional buttons. There are
two main tabs on the TOUCH SCREEN panel CRIMP and OPTIONS. Functionality
described below.
Note- The GC96 Touch Screen can ‘freeze’ in start up. If this happens, turn off the
crimper for 5 minutes then return and try again. If the problem persists, call Gates
Product Application.
