TOOL OPERATION
(See Fig. 2 on Page 6)
1.
To install the upper crimp die in the installation tool, depress die release button [A] and slip either die
half in the top of the head. Center the die and release the button. An audible “click” can be heard when
the retainer pin engages the slot in the die half.
2.
Install the second die half in the bottom of the head (Ram) by depressing die release button [B] and
proceeding as instructed above. If die release button [B] cannot be depressed, cycle the tool a few
times to make it more accessible.
3.
The head of the installation too
l can be rotated 180° to any desired position to accommodate operator’s
view of the dies, compression connector location, and tool operation.
NOTE: Head cannot be rotated under hydraulic pressure.
4.
Position the compression connector between the dies for the first compression and cycle the pump
handles.
5.
Cycle the pump handles until the bypass valve (incorporated in the installation tool) is heard to operate.
This can be detected by a “popping” sound accompanied by a reduction in handle effort.
If the dies fail to close, it may be due to the following reasons:
a.)
The tool is being used for some application for which it was not designed.
b.)
The pressure is not building up to 10,000 psi (700kgs/cm
2
).
c.)
Dies are of the incorrect size (index number).
6.
If dies fail to close, do not continue operation. Open the dies by twisting the pump handle clockwise and
bringing the handles to a closed position. The bypass valve will open and relieve the pressure, thus
opening the dies.
NOTE
: Due to configuration, dies CD-920-500A and CD-920-750 will not bottom completely.
7.
Repeat the operation for connectors that require more than one compression. Consult product
packaging, Panduit catalog or website for part numbers and specific die application information.
