Setting the operating pressure
For the PC 65 crimper function, a permissible operating pressure between
0.45 and 0.65 MPa is pre-set in the factory.
Depending on the type of the crimp contact, the crimp force can be changed via the pressure controller.

Installation and adjustment of the crimp die
Fig. 26: Installation and adjustment of the crimp die
Disconnect the equipment from the compressed air supply (no electrical isolation required) prior to in-
stalling the crimp die
Insert the halves of the die (3 and 4) respectively into the crimp levers (2 and 5) all the way to the stop,
and fasten them with the screws (1) (tightening torque 2 Nm)
After installing the die, press the upper crimp lever (5) downward until the die is closed
If the die cannot be closed manually, it will require readjusting
For this purpose, keep the upper crimp lever (5) pressed, while the upper screws are loosened to allow
centring of the crimp die. Then retighten the screws while still holding down the crimp lever
NOTICE
It is very important to check and reassure that it is closed. If a die is not adjusted
properly, it may be damaged or even destroyed during operation with
compressed air.
