HOW TO MAKE MINOR CORRECTIONS
Due to variations in hose and fi tting tolerances a minor crimp
adjustment may be required if the measured diameter of the fi nal
crimp is not within the hose and fi tting manufacturer’s specifi cations.
ACT
TM
technology makes minor corrections a simple process which
requires no addition or subtraction.
If the
fi
nished crimp diameter is not within the required
speci
fi
cations:
• Press
the
ADJUST CRIMP
button.
•
Enter the measured diameter of the fi tting in either inches or
mm
(
Do not enter the amount of correction
)
and press
ENTER
• Press
SAVE
.
•
Make another crimp and verify that the fi tting is within
specifi cations.
EXAMPLE:
If the hose and
fi
tting manufacturer speci
fi
es
that the
fi
nished crimp should measure 1.500 to 1.520 and
the measured crimp diameter was 1.530, simply enter the
measured diameter (1530 - Controller will supply 3 decimal
places) and press
SAVE
. The
fi
nished crimp diameter
can be entered in either in or mm and ACT
TM
will make the
conversion.
While a single correction will usually bring the hose and fi tting
into specifi cations, the process can be repeated as many times as is
required.
