PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL NOT RUN AT ALL
•
Check the E-Stop switch to be certain that it is not depressed. A slight twist is required to release switch after it
has been depressed.
•
PLC (Programmable Logic Control) must be reset. See instructions on the previous page.
PROBLEM: CRIMPER RUNS BUT IS SLOW OR NON-FUNCTIONAL
•
Check supply voltage to see that it matches the voltage specifi ed on the tag attached to the crimper.
Many performance problems are the result of low voltage or inadequate electrical service.
•
Check motor rotation and be certain that the motor rotates in the direction of the arrow on the motor housing. For
three phase units rotation can be reversed by switching any two wires in the plug.
PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL CLOSE ON FITTING BUT DOES
NOT DEVELOP POWER TO COMPLETE THE CRIMP
•
Check oil level. Position dies to the fully open position and check oil sight gage in rear of machine. Be sure the
oil level is in the middle of the sight glass. Use ISO 32 or 46 weight hydraulic oil.
PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL NOT OPEN TO RETRACT POSITION IN AUTO MODE
•
Retract position must be at least 3 mm larger than the fi nal crimp diameter.
