Wire check For checking the outside conductor diameter, the mobile crimping tool has two openings
that are labeled "wire check". The conductor has to fit in the opening that is labeled with the
checkmark. If the conductor fits in the small opening with the cross, then it may not be used.
Conductors that are too thick or too thin cause the crimping tool to be damaged.
Figure 1-1 Checking the outside diameter of the conductor
Suitable ferrules Only use taped ferrules from Phoenix Contact that have a specific function end. This special
design is required for safe operation.
Preparing the conductor In order to ensure optimum operation of the portable crimping tool, the conductor must be
prepared correctly. Make sure that the conductors are always cut straight. Conductors that
have been squeezed, cut at an angle or already stripped must not be used. Even for very
short conductors it may happen that they are not crimped correctly.
Only use cable cutters with sharp blades which cut the conductors and do not squeeze
them. Do not use diagonal cutters or similar unsuitable tools.
Quality of the crimping re-
sult
The quality of the crimping result depends on:
– The stranding of the conductor
– The processing temperature
– The tolerance at the cross section
