Crimping Procedure
CAUTION
Make sure that you are using the correct COPALUM splice and crimp chamber for the aluminum wire or aluminum and copper
wire size combinations that you are going to crimp. The color dot code stripe on the splice and the color code and dot on the
crimping dies MUST match. Do not alter COPALUM splices by removing the internal perforated inserts. If you have any
questions concerning proper application, contact your local TE Representative.
Insert the battery pack in the tool.
Refer to Figure 4, select the proper splice, and proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that each wire extends a
minimum
of 25.4 mm [1 in.] from any electrical box or wall
surface.
2. If more wires must be spliced than allowed
on the table in Figure 4, use “piggy back” crimps to splice
all wire. Refer to Figure 5.
