Setting the Crimp Value

See Table 2 on page 20

and

21

for crimp depth setting and locator selection. The

values in the table are for standard fine stranded copper wires. The values serve as
reference only and must be verified with a pull test according to

BS EN 60352-2

(Solderless Connections. Crimped Connections. General

Requirements, Test Methods and Practical Guidance), Table 4, using the actual
wire.

1. Loosen the adjustment wheel setscrew.
2. Set the crimp value by turning the adjustment wheel until the digital

display shows the required value.

Note: Turn the adjustment wheel clockwise to reduce the crimp value, and
counterclockwise to increase the crimp value.

3. Use an Allen wrench to tighten the adjustment wheel setscrew to save the

settings.

4. If necessary, pull up on the locator until the spring-loaded cartridge that is

locked in place is released.

5.

See Table 2 on page 20

and

21

to determine the correct locator selection.

6. Turn the locator to align the desired locator cartridge with the crimp

indenters, then press in the locator cartridge until it snaps into place.

IMPORTANT

For accuracy when setting the crimp value, always turn the adjustment
wheel from a larger number to the actual setting. For example, turn the
adjustment wheel up to 2.10 mm and then turn the adjustment wheel
down to 2.00 mm. Do not start at 1.90 mm and turn the adjustment wheel
up to 2.00 mm.
