1. Insert terminal or splice in the stationary die
according to the instructions packaged with the
dies.
2. Activate the power unit by depressing the trigger
to advance the dies and hold the terminal or splice
in place.
3. Insert stripped wire into the terminal or splice.
4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.
To ensure that the tool has reached full hydraulic
pressure, the cycle LED at the rear of the tool will
flash green for 5 seconds. See Figure 3.
If the red cycle LED is flashing red for 5 seconds,
the tool has not yet reached full pressure and the
crimping cycle should be considered incomplete.
See Figure 3.
5. INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
Make sure hydraulic pressure is released and the
battery is detached before following inspection and
maintenance procedures, unless otherwise
specified in the procedure.
Each crimping tool is assembled and inspected before
shipment. It is recommended that the crimping tool be
inspected immediately upon its arrival, and at regularly
scheduled intervals, to ensure that the crimping head
has not been damaged during handling. Frequency of
inspection depends upon the following:
•
Type and size of products crimped;
•
Degree of operator skill; and
•
Environmental conditions
If the wrench LED at the end of the tool is fully orange,
the tool has 1000 crimp cycles remaining before it
must
be serviced. If the wrench LED is flashing
orange, there are 500 crimp cycles remaining. If the
wrench LED is flashing red, the tool is locked and
must be returned for service. See Figure 3.
Additionally, inspect and service the head (as
described in Figure 4) every month or 1,000 cycles,
whichever comes first. Refer to Figure 1.
5.1. Cleaning
Remove accumulations of dirt and grease on the
crimping tool, especially in areas where dies are
installed and terminals are crimped. Clean the entire
tool frequently with a clean, lint-free cloth.
5.2. Visual Inspection
In addition to the inspections listed in Figure 4, inspect
the head for nicks, scratches, and cracks. Inspect for
cracks especially at the corners of the “C”-Head and
around the top of the cylinder.
Inspect the metal surfaces for nicks, cracks,
scratches, and excessive wear, especially where
sliding contact occurs.
