10. E1 message after calibration or recalibration
If the crimper display shows an E1 message after several calibration or recalibration attempts (the message
will be shown in sequence at irst, then permanently as E1), then the dies in your four-indent crimper are
so worn that the wear can no longer be compensated for. Send your crimper to the manufacturer or an
authorised repair shop for inspections.
11. Monitoring wear – General
Any tool is subject to a certain amount of wear, even if used properly. Press the MODE button (6) for ten
seconds – range: 8 to 15s – for your crimper's current condition with numerical data on the crimper display (5).
The following information will be shown in sequence:
•
Serial number (eight digits in sequence)
•
Remaining lifetime in percent (remaining service life)
•
Reference value – lower setting as specified by the manufacturer
•
Number of calibrations so far
12. Troubleshooting and remedy
Display
Cause
Solution
„E1“
The crimper was not turned down to its lower
(reference) setting using the adjustment wheel
after changing the battery.
Repeat the procedure (See 9,
Calibration after a battery change).
„E1“
The display shows E1 after correct
recalibration–Your crimp dies have reached
their limit of wear.
The crimper dies are worn out. Send
in your
crimper for inspections.
„E2“
Calibration or recalibration at a higher
adjustment value than on initial factory
calibration (too much play between the punch
and gauge).
Repeat calibration or recalibration
with the
gauge supplied (see 8 or 9).
13. Servicing and maintenance
Make sure that your hand crimper is in a clean and proper state before use. Remove any crimping residues from
between the crimping jaws and contact bushing. Lubricate the joints regularly with machine lubricant, and protect
them from soiling. Make sure that all of the pins are secured by retaining rings.
Always have the crimper manufacturer or an authorised repair shop repair your four-indent crimper.
