CONTROLLER QUICK START
While the ACT
TM
crimper has the ability to perform a
number of fully automatic functions, manual operation is
also possible. To make a manual crimp, two numbers are
needed:
•
The closed diameter of the die
(in either in or mm)
•
The fi nished crimp diameter
(in either in or mm)
That’s all you need to know. ACT
TM
does the rest.

• Press
START MOTOR.
• Select
CRIMP TO DIAMETER.
•
Enter the closed diameter of the die set in either in or mm and press
ENTER
.
Note: for a 25mm die, enter 2500. ACT
TM
will add 2 decmal places
.
for a 1.5 inch die, enter 1500, ACT
TM
will add 3 decimal places.
• Enter
the
fi nished crimp diameter and press
ENTER
.
• From
the
ENTER CRIMP
screen, press the
MANUAL
button to put the crimper in manual mode.
• Confi rm that the die and fi nished crimp diameters are correct and that
MANUAL MODE
is displayed.
•
Press and hold the green close button until the crimper stops closing.

the
fi nal crimp diameter. If a minor correction is required see
HOW TO MAKE MINOR

.
