CRIMPING PROCEDURE Strip the wire to the length indicated, taking care not to nick or cut the wire strands. Select an applicable contact and identify the appropriate crimping chamber according to the wire size (24-28) markings on the tool. Figure 3 5. CRIMP HEIGHTS Refer to Figure 2, and proceed as follows: 1. Hold the tool so that the front is facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and allow them to open fully. 2. Insert the contact (mating end first) into the hole in the locator which corresponds with the appropriate crimping chamber. Make sure that the open “U” of the wire barrel and insulation barrel face the stationary jaw. Figure 4 6. CRIMP ADJUSTMENT CAUTION Make sure that both sides of the contact insulation barrel are started evenly into the crimping chamber. Do NOT attempt to crimp an improperly positioned contact. 1. See Manufacturers data sheet (GMT-DS) supplied with hand tool. 7. DAILY MAINTENANCE 3. Hold the contact in position, and squeeze the tool handles together until ratchet engages sufficiently to hold the contact in position. Do NOT deform insulation barrel or wire barrel. 4. Insert stripped wire into contact insulation and wire barrels until wire and insulation are visible in inspection window, as shown in Figure 2. NorComp, Inc. Charlotte, NC Properly crimped terminals are controlled by the following maintenance and inspection procedures. 1. Clean all dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign matter from the crimp jaws that could damage the crimp area of the dies. DO NOT immerse tool in cleaning solution This document is subject to change Rev 3 11/15/2019 Page 2 of 3 Date Printed 11/15/2019 170-701-170-000 Instruction Sheet IS-170S 2. The pivot pin and ratcheted pawl-bearing surface should be lubricated to ensure a smooth operation. DO NOT spray oil into tool to lubricate 3. When storing the tool, close the handles until the ratchet pawl is about to be released from the tooth of the ratchet. This will help prevent the dies from being damaged. 8. VISUAL INSPECTION The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular basis to ensure that they have not become worn or damaged. 1. Clean tool die area with solvent or brush. DO NOT immerse tool in cleaning solution 2. Check crimp area of die for damages. 3. If tool jams or locks, check the ratchet for dirt and lubrication. 9. CARE OF TOOL There is virtually no maintenance required. However, it is a good practice to keep indenter tips free of residual color band deposits and other debris. A small wire brush may be used for this purpose. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT: • • • immerse tool in cleaning solution spray oil into tool to lubricate attempt to disassemble tool or make repairs THIS IS A PRECISION HAND CRIMPING TOOL AND SHOULD BE HANDLED AS SUCH NorComp, Inc.
