How To Make Minor Corrections
Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances a minor
crimp adjustment may be required if the measured
diameter of the final crimp is not within the hose and
fitting manufacturer’s specifications. ACT™ technology
makes minor corrections a simple process which requires
no addition or subtraction.
If the finished crimp diameter is not within the required
specifications:
•
Press the ADJUST CRIMP button.
•
Enter the measured diameter of the fitting in either
inches or mm (
Do not enter the amount of correction
)
and press ENTER
•
Press SAVE.
•
Make another crimp and verify that the fitting is
within specifications.
EXAMPLE: If the hose and fitting manufacturer specifies
that the finished crimp should measure 1.500 to 1.520
and the measured crimp diameter was 1.530, simply
enter the measured diameter (1530 - Controller will
supply 3 decimal places) and press SAVE. The finished
crimp diameter can be entered in either in or mm and
ACTTM will make the conversion.
While a single correction will usually bring the hose and
fitting into specifications, the process can be repeated as
many times as is required.
