Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for proper crimping:
- Prepare the Cable/Connector: Strip the cable to the appropriate length as specified by the connector manufacturer. Ensure the conductor and dielectric are clean and properly aligned with the connector.
- Select the Correct Die: Identify the correct crimping die size on the tool that matches your connector and cable type. The tool supports various sizes including:
- SQ .042", HEX .068", .151", .178", 2.13"
- SQ 1.07, HEX 1.73, 3.84, 4.52, 5.41mm
- Insert the Connector: Place the connector with the prepared cable into the selected crimping die. Ensure it is seated firmly and correctly.
- Crimp: Squeeze the handles of the crimper firmly and completely until the crimping cycle is finished and the handles release. This ensures a full and secure crimp.
- Inspect the Crimp: After crimping, visually inspect the connection to ensure it is secure, uniform, and free from damage.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your crimper:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or residue. For stubborn grime, a mild solvent can be used, ensuring it does not damage the handle material.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: Store the crimper in a dry environment to prevent rust. Keep the handles closed to protect the crimping dies.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your crimper, consider the following:
- Poor Crimp Quality:
- Ensure you are using the correct die size for your cable and connector.
- Verify the cable is properly stripped and inserted into the connector.
- Confirm the crimper handles are fully squeezed during the crimping cycle.
- Handles Sticking/Stiff Operation:
- Clean the pivot points and dies to remove any accumulated dirt or debris.
- Apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts.
- Tool Damage: If the tool appears bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged, discontinue use immediately and consider replacement.
