OPERATOR TECHNIQUE
Crimp location on the contact and depth of crimp are entirely PORTA-TAC dependent.
The operator only need select (if applicable) the proper
"G"
dimension setting and
initiate the crimp cycle by inserting the conductor into the contact and depressing it by
applying slight pressure.
A conductor whose strands are not visible through the contact inspection hole (if
applicable) was probably caused
by an insufficient strip length or too Iowa pressure setting of the Transfer Tip Slide
Cylinder (refer to Section 6).
Operators usually get the "feel" of the machine within 15 minutes of use. Noise
generated by the device is minimal; operators have been observed to develop a rhythm of
insertion and withdrawal based on the unique sounds generated by the device. Crimp
rates exceeding 1800 crimps per hour have been attained.
Section V, Operating Procedures, gives detailed instructions to become familiar with the
equipment and operate it correctly and efficiently.
