CALIBRATION
12. CALIBRATION
Before crimping a hose assembly, check calibration.
Calibration is the proper relationship between a set-
ting and the crimp diameter. It should be checked
at least monthly, weekly or daily, if crimper has been
used heavily or abused.
A. Retract die shoes to fully open position.
B. Load the GC32-33 die set into crimper for
calibration. Press the QCT down until you feel it
bottom out on the die shoe surface. Twist the
QCT clockwise until it engages the die fingers,
then pull out of crimper head, aligning red with
red decal on the QCT.
C. Set the dial vernier to 1.23 to calibrate.
D. While holding the thread end of an 8G
MegaCrimp ® coupling, insert coupling into
crimper so that ferrule is 1/8" from front edge
of die shoe.
E. Press and hold top blue CRIMP button.
Crimper will close down to position set on dial
vernier. Once it reaches that position, crimper
will automatically shut off.
NOTE: CRIMP button and foot pedal operate on a
"dead man" control. It only operates as long as you
depress the CRIMP button or hold foot pedal down.
It stops immediately when switch is released.
F. Remove coupling and measure crimp diameter.
Crimp diameter must measure 1.000" +/- .003".
To properly measure crimp diameter, refer to Page
14.
•
If the crimp diameter is acceptable, no
adjustment is necessary.
•
If crimp diameter is not acceptable, crimper
must be calibrated. Proceed as follows:
a. Lock setting to 1.23 by using black locking
lever on top of dial vernier.
