Press and hold the red
PRESS & HOLD TO CYCLE
button. The
Gates GC20 Cortex crimps the coupling.
11.
After the crimp, the application displays a screen where you can enter the
measured diameter of the coupling you have just crimped (shown in Figure 21
on page 17). By entering the measured crimp diameter, the crimper software
can self-adjust the stroke to increase or decrease the crimp. Enter the crimp
diameter with a leading number (even if that leading number is a zero) and
three decimal places: 1.003 or 0.997, for example.
NOTE:
Measure the crimped coupling as explained in
“Measuring Crimp Diameter” on page 13.

If the measured crimp diameter is beyond crimp tolerance range (too big or
too small), the application makes an internal adjustment and requests that
you repeat the crimp (Figure 22).
