screw in the ram.

3. Back off the set screw in the ram, and remove

themovingdie.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

The following procedure provides only general

information concerning crimping. Refer to the

instructions packaged with the die set and power unit

for detailed information.

1. Insert the terminal or splice in the stationary die

according to the instructions packaged with the die

set.

2. Activate the power unit to advance the dies and

hold the terminal or splice in place.

3. Insert the stripped wire into the terminal or

splice.

4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Make sure hydraulic pressure is released and

power supply is disconnected before following the

maintenance and inspection procedure, unless

otherwise specified in the procedure.

5.1. Inspection

The crimping head is assembled and inspected

before shipment. It is recommended that the crimping

head be inspected immediately upon arrival at your

facility, and at regularly scheduled intervals, to ensure

that the crimping head has not been damaged during

handling. Frequency of inspection depends upon the

following:

— care, amount of use, and handling of the head

— type and size of products crimped

— degree of operator skill

— environmental conditions

Once a year, or every 7,500 cycles (whichever comes

first), the crimping head should be returned to Tyco

Electronics for magnetic particle inspection.

Additionally, inspect and service the crimping head

every month or 1,000 cycles, whichever comes first.

Inspect the metal surfaces for nicks, cracks,

scratches, and excessive wear, especially where

sliding contact occurs. Inspect for cracks especially at

the corners of the “C“--head and around the top of the

cylinder. Refer to Figure 3.
