Before placing the new battery into the crimping unit turn the adjustment knob to the
lowest reference value. A battery exchange will prompt the user to conduct a calibration
of the crimping unit (CAL).
Information
Any further steps are described in chapter 10.9 “Calibration of the Crimping Unit after Battery Exchange”.
Used batteries are to be disposed off only at authorized recycling locations.
10.6. Process Safety during Operation
All crimping units are subject to mechanical wear and tear, depending upon the load that the crimping unit
needs to handle (cable cross sections, material usage, …), which also effects the life time of the crimping
unit. The wear and tear can be compensated for through recalibrating of the unit within certain limits. The
wear limit is reached at about 50,000 to 200,000 cycles depending upon the intensity of use.
The prompt to calibrate or recalibrate will be visible on the digital display as follows:
• After the battery exchange (CAL) a calibration is inevitable to restore the original function of the crimping
unit.
• Crimping unit will prompt the user after a certain number of crimps indicated by the crimping unit on the
display (REC)
If after several recalibrations are conducted according to the steps in the owner‘s manual, and a message/
code E1 appears in the display of the crimping unit, the wear and tear maximum is reached and the crimping
unit needs to be repaired.
