User access can be set in the Users (icon) portion of the control panel.
2.4. Help
Whenever the user is on a screen and touches the help icon the CQM II Manual is displayed with relevant
information associated with that screen.
2.5. Screen Information
For a numeric entry, if you touch the value box, the keypad will appear. Each keypad is specific for the
information being entered. Note that the each keypad also displays the allowable ranges for most numeric
entries.
If the value box (numeric field) turns RED, the number being entered is out of range, is incorrect, or in some
cases not filled in.
A temporary unit change to switch from inch to metric, or metric to inch entry is on the keypad.
2.6. Graphing Information
Touching on a graph expands the graph to full screen. Use the left and right arrows to scroll through some
graphics.
Touching the Print/File icon creates a pdf that can be printed to an attached and configured printer
or
saved to a
USB flash drive.
On crimp curves, the graph can be zoomed by touching the display and dragging your finger to create a red box
for the area that will be zoomed.
To return to the full display, touch the paper icon. To return to the previous level, touch the magnifying glass
(with negative sign) icon.
2.7. Task Bar
At the bottom of the display, when not in the control panel, there is a Task bar that is used to walk the operator
through the tasks necessary for the production crimping process. Certain selections expand to provide additional
choices for parameter editing. Following the arrows leads you from the start of setting up a work order all the
way to production. You can easily pass over steps and go back to others by touching the appropriate icon or the
left and right arrow icons. If a step is required in the process, you will not be allowed to go beyond that step until
you have entered the appropriate parameters or performed the required crimp. An error or warning message will
be displayed describing the action required.
2.8. Definitions
A. Headroom (and How it Effects Crimps)
The Crimp Quality Monitor II monitors the forces that occurs during the crimping process. The forces during a
crimp are the combination of forming the crimp profile of the terminal and the compression of the wire strands
within the terminal.
Headroom is the difference of the peak force of a complete crimp and an empty
crimp.
(Headroom is defined as XX,X %). A complete crimp is defined as crimp at nominal crimp height with
both the insulation and the wire barrel properly filled with the wire. An “empty crimp” is only the insulated wire
crimped in the insulation barrel of the terminal.
Studies have shown that Crimp Quality Monitors have a better detection capability when the headroom is
greater than 35%. Crimped terminals that have a small wire, in some cases the smallest allowed by the
manufacturer, rarely meet this 35% minimum requirement. In this case a Crimp Quality Monitor II may not be
very effective at detecting minor crimping defects. On the other hand, a crimped terminal with the larger
specified wire will more likely exceed this 35% minimum requirement. Therefore a Crimp Quality Monitor will
perform much better and be able to detect more crimping defects.
