Operating Instructions
• the reference sheet attached to each tool designates which contacts the positioner accomodates for
ist wire size and indicates locator position
• position is dialed by merely raising locator knob and rotating it to the proper position (1-12)
• crimp depth setting to be selected by raising and rotating the eccentric to the requested position
(A/B/C/D)
• insert the contact to be crimped through the entry hole against the back stop of the accomodation
• close the handles to the first lock-in position of the tool
• place the adequately stripped cable into the contact as far as possible
• press the handles completely together until the tool automatically releases
• remove the crimped contact
3. Inspection of crimp depth accuracy
Adjustment of crimp tool is done in the factory. The crimp depth - crimp pressure ratio is stipulated in
dependence on the contact. After longer usage of the tool, indenter closure should be checked by the quality
personnel as described below:
• dial position “D” on the eccentric
• insert gauge ø 1 ± 0,02 mm through the entry hole
• close handles completely
• the accurate crimp depth is guaranteed if there is just enough space to shift the gauge between the
indenters
4. Calibration of crimp tool
If the periodic gauging shows an inaccurate result, proceed as follows::
• dial position “D” on the eccentric
• remove e-clip of the adjustment wheel by means of a small screw driver
• raise the adjustment wheel beyond the set screw
• insert gauge ø 1 ± 0,02 mm through the entry hole
• close handles completely
• turn the adjustment wheel to that position, that there is just enough space to shift the gauge
• to lock it into place, press the wheel slightly down
• fix the e-clip again
ATTENTION!
Never crimp when the gauge is inserted
