INDICATOR PIN
POSITION 0MM:
Set Point Reached
The user will be notified that a crimp is nearing completion when the silver indicator pin is almost flush
with the front of the EDI knob. At this position, jog (activate in short intervals) the external power unit
until crimped (if power unit function allows). The hose assembly is crimped when the red LED illuminates
on the EDI.
The displayed number on the dial shown on the above illustration
0123
is equivalent to
01.23
whereby
the numbers shown with red background indicate the numbers after the decimal place.
If the EDI’s batteries are dead the unit can still be used to identify a completed crimp. When the silver
indicator is flush with the front face of the knob, the crimp is completed. You may wish to use your finger
to feel when the indicator pin is flush with the front of the knob. If the hose assembly is over-crimped, the
silver indicator pin will protrude past the knob face.
The operator MUST stop hydraulic flow to the machine before the indicator reaches the set point posi-
tion (light on).
The crimp accuracy is dependent on operator reaction and as such every completed hose assembly
MUST be measured.
Battery replacement work instructions are included with start-up kit. Replacement battery 1.55V,
377/376 button cell.
WARNING: Do Not hold the machine under pressure for extended periods of time
on the power unit. As soon as the crimp is complete, release pressure to allow
the machine to retract.
