Full Auto Mode

With the crimper in FULL AUTO mode additional functions are 
available:

The crimper will cycle automatically from the CRIMP 
button on the touch screen, the green CYCLE START 
button on the panel, or the foot switch.

To set the position to which the dies will retract, close 
the crimper to the desired retract position prior to 
pressing the FULL AUTO button.

Pressing the FULL AUTO button will toggle the crimper 
into SEMI-AUTO mode. In SEMI-AUTO mode, pressing the 
FOOT SWITCH or the CLOSE button will close the crimper 
head and releasing it will cause the head to stop closing. 
This mode allows the crimper to be jogged into position 
allowing more precise positioning of a fitting in the dies. 
Pressing the SEMI AUTO button will toggle the crimper 
back to FULL AUTO mode.

In FULL AUTO mode pressing the foot switch will start the 
crimp cycle and the dies will stop closing when the crimp 
cycle is complete

The COUNT function is activated allowing the operator to 
monitor the number of crimps made.

A measurement can be required after a preset number of 
crimps. See 

SET REQUIRED MEASUREMENT

.

Set Required Measurement

Press the PRODUCTION button.

Determine if 1 or 2 crimps will count as a crimp.

Toggle the CRIMP ADJUSTMENT REMINDER to ON.

Set the COUNTS BETWEEN CRIMP MEASUREMENTS to 
the desired number and press OK.

At the set interval, the ADJUST CRIMP screen will come 
up and the operator will be asked to measure the last 
crimp and enter a correction if required.
