Operating Instructions
Loading and Unloading Die Cages
To load the die cage, press and hold the RETRACT switch (figure 1) until the
crimp ring reaches the “full retract” position and stops. The die cage may be
inserted or removed in this position (figure 2). The FT1380 crimp machine
will automatically retract when it has reached the setting entered on the
keypad (this is when crimp is complete).
Operating the Keypad
1.
The DISPLAY shows the three-digit setting that will determine the
crimp diameter. The ratio of the crimp diameter change to the DISPLAY
change is 1 to 1. For example, if you crimp a fitting at a setting of
120, and the crimp diameter is .035 inch too large, you will need to
decrease the DISPLAY by .035 to (120-035) = 085. A display of 085
should produce the correct crimp diameter.
2.
The STORE button is used to store the DISPLAY reading in any of the
10 numbered keys. The green light next to the STORE button will
illuminate when you are working in the STORE mode
