1.3 Description
The crimp force monitor measures the force signature of a crimped terminal and compares it to a reference crimp.
Depending on the limits programmed, the measurement will pass, fail, or be suspect.
When a measurement is suspect, the display backlight will turn yellow to warn the operator. A failed measurement
will cause the backlight to turn red and an audible alarm to sound. The operator must press a button to silence the
alarm and reset the monitor. If connected, the crimp force monitor can inhibit the press foot switch when a failure
occurs.
The crimp force monitor can be set to display peak force in pound, kilograms, or newton units. A production
counter is also included as well as job storage.
