Tool Calibration & Crimp Tensile Assurance
Although the only valid method of determining that the tool is correctly adjusted and performing properly is to:
1/ Perform pull-test on crimped termination. (See min tensile value chart).
2/ Take dimensional measurements from cavity of tool (see calibrating instructions).
Calibrating Instructions
1/ Crimp a piece of 0.10” diameter soft solder in either cavity and check height and width dimensions (see
chart).
2/ Without contact in tool measure ratchet release pressure at a point 1.75” from handle end; the pressure
required is 55-65lbs.
