2. Lift the latch to open the crimping head and install
the adapter between the indenter and crimp head.
Position the round end of the adapter against the
indenter and close the crimp head against the
V-surfaces on the adapter, as shown below.
Check that the head and latch are fully engaged.
3. Connect the sensor cable to the test meter and cali-
brate the sensor per operating instructions provided
with the 50013408 test meter.
4. Pump the handle to advance the indenter until the
pressure relief valve activates. The display on the
test meter should show a force of 107.8 to 110.8 kN
(24,250 to 24,925 lb). If the force reading is outside
this range, send the crimping tool to an authorized
service center for adjustment.
Relief valve adjustments must be done by an autho-
rized service center.
Verify Crimping Distance
The crimping distance on this tool is set at the factory
to a precise dimension to insure a certified crimp. The
crimping distance may require resetting if the indenter,
crimping head, or other components are replaced on
the tool. Follow the procedure below to verify and reset
the crimping distance.
1. Close the crimping head and check that latch and
head are fully engaged.
2. Pump the handle to advance the indenter. Continue
to pump the handle until the indenter is a full stroke
and the handle force is noticeably greater.
3. Measure the distance between the bottom of the
indenter and the head as shown below. The dis-
tance should measure 4.953 mm to 5.207 mm
(0.195" to 0.205"). If the distance is outside this
range, rermove the set screw (72) and indenter (40).
• To increase distance, remove a spacer (41, 42).
• To decrease distance, add a spacer (41, 42).
5.207 mm (0.205")
4.953 mm (0.195")
4. Install the indenter (40) and secure set screw (72).
