Assembly instruction
1. General remarks – Usage and design of the tool
• The HARTING ix Industrial® assembly tool is intended to be used for the
assembly of the HARTING ix Industrial® plugs with solder or isolation
displacement connection (IDC). Using this hand-tool for any other
purpose, or for crimping of any other object, can result in damaging the
tool and the objects being crimped and prevention of its normal further
functioning, for what manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
• The HARTING ix Industrial assembly tool 09 45 800 0181 is delivered
ready to use and no adjustment is needed for the first use.
• The assembly tool is equipped with full cycle ratchet mechanism
which with optimized leverage system within the tools make working
with these tools easy and simple. In case of improper crimp, ratchet
release mechanism allows you to easily open the hand-tool and remove
obstruction before work is continued. Check unblocking procedure.
• For removal of dust, moisture and other contaminants usage of clean
brush or soft, lint-free cloth is recommended. Do not use aggressive
agents (thinner, alcohol, …) or hard objects that could damage the tool.
• Make sure that, during the work, bearing surfaces, shafts and pivot
points are protected with thin coat of quality machine or motor oil. Do
not oil excessively.
• When the tool is not in use, store it in a closed position – with handles
closed. That will keep other objects from becoming stuck between
crimping dies and damaging them. Keep the tool in a dry and clean
area.
• Tool itself also incorporates possibility of periodical adjustment of the
crimping force and tool recalibration via eccentric axle to maintain
correct crimp performance. Check item recalibration procedure.
2. Terminating procedure
• Wire lead ends organized and trimmed according to plug assembly
instruction for the HARTING ix Industrial® plugs with solder or isolation
displacement (IDC) connection.
The assembly tool die consists of two assembly sections.
• Section on the right side is used for IDC contacts crimping (1).
• Section on the left side is used for cable shielding crimping (2).

2.a IDC Contact terminating
• Insert the plug assembly in the right assembly tool opening. The
plug insert must be fully inserted. For more details see the assembly
instruction of the IDC plug.
• Slowly close tool handles completely to perform full cycle to press in
the wire manager with the single wire to the IDC‘s.
In case the tool becomes block for any reason, please follow the
unblocking procedure.
• After the full IDC assembly cycle is done, open the tool fully in order
to remove assembled plug insert. The tool is ready for next assembly
cycle.
