Initial Crimper Set Up
•Check reservoir oil level with sight glass on the front of the power unit.
•Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper requirements as shown on
the tag attached to the crimper cord.
•Make certain that motor rotates in the direction of the arrow shown on the motor housing.
•If motor rotation is incorrect reverse any two hot wires in the crimper plug. (For 3 phase
circuits)
•Also see additional information on the initial set up and maintenance page.

Note:
If the crimper is in MANUAL MODE, the green
open/close buttons will open and close the crimper
head.
If the crimper is in AUTO MODE, the buttons functions as
cycle start and cycle stop buttons.
If the crimper is in SEMI-AUTO MODE, pressing the foot
switch or the close button will close the crimper head
and releasing will halt the closing action.

ACT™ Controller Quick Start
While the ACT™ crimper has the ability to perform a number of fully automatic functions,
manual operation is also possible. To make a manual crimp, two numbers are needed:
•The closed diameter of the die (in either in
inches or mm)
•The finished crimp diameter (in either in inches
or mm)
That’s all you need to know. ACT™ does the rest.
To Make a Manual Crimp:
•Press START.
•Select CRIMP TO DIAMETER.
•Enter the closed diameter of the die set in either in inches or mm and press ENTER.
Note: for a 25 mm die, enter 2500. ACT™ will add 2 decimal places.
for a 1.5 inch die, enter 1500, ACT™ will add 3 decimal places.
•Enter the finished crimp diameter and press ENTER.
•From the ENTER CRIMP screen, press the MANUAL button to put the crimper in manual
mode.
•Confirm that the die and finished crimp diameters are correct and that MANUAL MODE is
displayed.
•Press and hold the green close button until the crimper stops closing.
•Check the final crimp diameter. If a minor correction is required see HOW TO MAKE
MINOR CORRECTIONS.
Tip: Pressing the CHANGE DIES button allows the crimper head to be fully opened or closed
with the green OPEN-CLOSE buttons on the controller front panel When the CHANGE DIES
button is blinking the dies can be opened and closed manually without altering any of the
crimper settings.

How To Make Minor Corrections
Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances a minor
crimp adjustment may be required if the measured
diameter of the final crimp is not within the hose and
fitting manufacturer’s specifications. ACT™ technology
makes minor corrections a simple process which requires
no addition or subtraction.
If the finished crimp diameter is not within the required
specifications:
•Press the ADJUST CRIMP button.
•Enter the measured diameter of the fitting in either
inches or mm (Do not enter the amount of correction)
and press ENTER
•Press SAVE.
•Make another crimp and verify that the fitting is
within specifications.
EXAMPLE: If the hose and fitting manufacturer specifies
that the finished crimp should measure 1.500 to 1.520
and the measured crimp diameter was 1.530, simply
enter the measured diameter (1530 - Controller will
supply 3 decimal places) and press SAVE. The finished
crimp diameter can be entered in either in or mm and
ACTTM will make the conversion.
While a single correction will usually bring the hose and
fitting into specifications, the process can be repeated as
many times as is required.

How To Add a Saved Die
Up to 50 different dies can be saved in the computer
memory. These dies can be recalled in the set up
process eliminating the need to re-enter the die size
each time.
To enter a saved die:
•From the OPTION screen, press SETUP MODE.
•Select SAVED DIES.
•Select the save position (1-50) where the die is to
be saved and press the EDIT button.
•Enter a die description (up to 12 alpha/numeric
characters).
•Enter diameter units (inch or metric).
•Enter the closed diameter of the die.
•Press SAVE and EXIT.
The saved die will now appear on the SELECTED DIE
screen. From this screen individual dies can be cleared
or edited.
How To Recall a Saved Die
•Select CRIMP TO DIAMETER, and from the OPTION
screen, select USE SAVED DIE.
•Select the saved die (1-50) and press LOAD and
then OK. The die parameters will now be used for
the crimp process.
•From the ENTER CRIMP screen press MANUAL.
•The saved die will now be shown on the crimp
parameters screen.

How To Add a Saved Die
•Adjust the die diameter and crimp diameter as
required and place the crimper in MANUAL mode.
•Press SAVE.
•Select a location (1-150) and press EDIT.
•Enter a description (up to 12 characters).
•Press SAVE and EXIT.
The die and crimp setting can now be recalled from the
saved location as required.
How To Recall a Saved Crimp
•Select USE SAVED CRIMP from the option screen.
•Select a previously saved crimp from location 1-
150.
•Press LOAD.
The saved crimp will appear on the manual screen.

Full Auto Mode
With the crimper in FULL AUTO mode additional functions are
available:
•The crimper will cycle automatically from the CRIMP
button on the touch screen, the green CYCLE START
button on the panel, or the foot switch.
•To set the position to which the dies will retract, close
the crimper to the desired retract position prior to
pressing the FULL AUTO button.
•Pressing the FULL AUTO button will toggle the crimper
into SEMI-AUTO mode. In SEMI-AUTO mode, pressing the
FOOT SWITCH or the CLOSE button will close the crimper
head and releasing it will cause the head to stop closing.
This mode allows the crimper to be jogged into position
allowing more precise positioning of a fitting in the dies.
Pressing the SEMI AUTO button will toggle the crimper
back to FULL AUTO mode.
In FULL AUTO mode pressing the foot switch will start the
crimp cycle and the dies will stop closing when the crimp
cycle is complete
•The COUNT function is activated allowing the operator to
monitor the number of crimps made.
•A measurement can be required after a preset number of
crimps. See SET REQUIRED MEASUREMENT.
Set Required Measurement
•Press the PRODUCTION button.
•Determine if 1 or 2 crimps will count as a crimp.
•Toggle the CRIMP ADJUSTMENT REMINDER to ON.
•Set the COUNTS BETWEEN CRIMP MEASUREMENTS to
the desired number and press OK.
•At the set interval, the ADJUST CRIMP screen will come
up and the operator will be asked to measure the last
crimp and enter a correction if required.
