ADJUSTMENTS
INFO
Always confirm quality!
After making any adjustments, always confirm crimp quality according to the given specifications.
6.2.1
Reading and adjusting the crimp height dial
1.
The crimp height adjustment dials consist of:
a.
A dial (1) labelled 0 – 27 to adjust the conductor crimp height.
b.
A lower ring with a reference mark (2).
2.
Each increment (or click) of the dial changes the crimp height by a
0.01mm (0.0004”).
a.
Reduce crimp height by turning the top dial clockwise (to the left).
b.
Increase crimp height by turning the top dial counterclockwise (to
the right).
c.
A setting of “0” (zero) results in the maximum crimp height.
4.
Each major increment represents an index value of the number divided by 10
a.
Examples:
Dial setting on 8 refers to an index value of 0.8.
b.
Example:
Dial setting on 19 refers to an index value of 1.9.
a.
Photo shown of the dial refers to an index setting of approximately 1.95.
5.
Setting the dial index values.
a.
To achieve an index value of 0.85, start at “8” on the crimp dial (1) and turn it clockwise 5 clicks (0.80 +
5*0.01 = 0.85)
b.
To achieve an index value of 1.23, from “12” on the crimp dial (1), turn it clockwise 3 clicks (1.20 + 3*0.01 =
1.23)
6.2.2
Back stroke adjustment
Proper adjustment
During the backstroke, the feed finger must pass over at least one full ferrule. Depending on the range of fer-
rule sizes, it may be necessary to pass over 1.5 or more ferrules so that the entire range may be processed in
the same applicator. As long as the forward stroke only advances one ferrule, then the backstroke position is
not critical.
