GENERAL
This operation manual covers FINN-POWER FP –models of crimping machines. The model of your
machine is marked on the front page.
FP –models are an electrically operated hydraulic crimping machines for industrial (FP140X –model) and
hydraulic hose assemblies.
The crimping machines comprise a crimping head, a hydraulic unit and a base.
Transport
The packed machine is transported on a pallet,
which is easy to move and lift by a fork-lift truck. After
unpacking, the machine can be lifted from the lifting
eye.
The marking on the package indicates the mass
centre of the machine.
Size of package for FP120 S-model:
x = 101, y = 150, z = 178 cm.
Size of package for other models:
x = 107, y = 97, z = 178 cm
Storage
The manufacturer has protected the machine against
corrosion by using the Zerust method. The machined
parts have been treated with Axxatec 77C protective
agent. A Zerust vapor capsule has been put into the
electric box, and the machine has been packed into
a bag made of Zerust film.
The protection is effective for months if the package
is not opened. After opening it, the protection of the
wrapping film ceases. If the machine is not yet
brought into use, it must be reprotected against
corrosion. The machine is to be stored in dry indoor
conditions.
Remove the protective agent according to the
instructions enclosed in the package.
Mounting
The crimping machine can be lifted from the lifting
eye after it has been unpacked.
Mount the machine on an even floor level, which is
steady enough to carry the weight of the machine.
It is recommended to screw the machine on the
floor with four M12 wedge anchors. Boreholes in the
floor: Ø12 mm, depth 55 mm.

WARNINGS
General
The machine is intended for professional use. It is to be operated only by a trained operator who has
understood the dangers involved in the operation.
Openings between the dies exceed 6 mm, thus being large enough to let fingers go between the dies and
get crimped. It is, therefore, ABSOLUTELY necessary to follow operating instructions and warnings
indicated by the stickers on the machine when changing dies and crimping fittings.
Danger zones
WARNING 1 WARNING 2
Do not put your hands When crimping a fitting, hold the

COMMISSIONING
Oil fill
Fill the oil tank to centre line of the oil level sight glass in the side plate (FP20: to centre line of the
indicators in the dipstick) with hydraulic oil like Shell Tellus T 46 or equivalent. Volume of the tank is approx.
130 litres (FP20 85 litres). It is recommended to pump the oil into the tank through a 20µ filter, because
new oil in drums is not pure.
Electrical connection
CAUTION! Check that the machine voltage (see type plate) is equal to your supply voltage. For proper
installation to local code, consult a licensed contractor.
Bring the supply cable in through the hole in the side plate. Secure the cable with a stress relief plug.
Connect the phase conductors to the respective L1, L2 and L3 terminals in the supply disconnecting device.
Connect the earth connection to the ground terminal on the fixing plate. Check the connection against the
wiring diagram enclosed in the spare parts list.
Check that the motor rotation is parallel with the arrow on the motor. In case the motor rotates in wrong
direction, two phase conductors in the supply disconnecting device must be interchanged.
Quick Fix-package
Included with the machine, there is a Quick Fix-package, which has some basic parts for that machine
model.

dies to the set retraction position, after which you can continue in the normal way if the machine is
otherwise in working order.
2. START
Press to start electric motor and control unit.
3. STOP
This button is used to stop the machine in a normal situation. It stops both the control and the motor.
4. CONTROL OPERATIONAL
The signal lamp is illuminated when operating voltage is available and the control is ready for use.
5. MODE SELECTOR
The crimping head does not operate when the mode selector is in position 0. The mode selector should be
in 0-position when the machine is started.
MANUAL : Master dies can be opened by pressing retraction button 9 and closed by pressing
crimping button 7. Manual mode is used when changing dies and adjusting settings.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC : Crimping movement gets started when the semi-automatic crimping button 6 is
pressed. The movement can be interrupted by releasing the button. If need be, dies can be opened by
using retraction button 9. Crimping goes on when the button is repressed. After reaching the crimping
diameter, dies return to the retraction position irrespective of whether the button is pressed or not.

AUTOMATIC : Crimping starts when the fitting is pressed against the stop device. The movement
stops if the stop device is not adequately pressed by the fitting. It can also be stopped by withdrawing the
fitting from the stop device before it is gripped by dies. If need be, dies can be opened by using retraction
button 9. Crimping goes on when the fitting is repressed against the stop device. After reaching the
crimping diameter, dies return to the retraction position irrespective of whether the fitting is pressed against
the stop device or not.
FOOT PEDAL : Crimping starts when the foot pedal is pressed. The movement can be interrupted
by lifting the foot from the pedal. If need be, dies can be opened by using retraction button 9. Crimping
goes on when the foot pedal is repressed. After reaching the crimping diameter, dies return to the retraction
position irrespective of the position of the foot pedal.
CRIMPING DELAY : In automatic modes, a crimping delay can be set in order to improve the forming
of the fitting. The delay is activated by turning the mode selector to the delay position , which makes the
signal lamp beside the symbol light. After this the mode selector is turned to a position indicating the
intended mode of crimping.
The delay has been set to last approx. 2 seconds. It occurs after the crimping diameter has been reached
but before the retraction movement, i.e. the dies are kept closed for the time of delay, after which they are
opened. To inactivate the delay, turn the mode selector briefly to 0-postition or stop the motor.
6. SEMI-AUTOMATIC CRIMPING
This button starts crimping movement provided that master dies have reached the set retraction position
(signal lamp 10 is illuminated) and semi-automatic mode has been selected.
7. CRIMPING BUTTON
The dies will close when this button is pressed. The dies move until the button is released or the set
crimping diameter has been reached. When using this button, manual mode must be selected. When the
machine is started with the mode selector in manual mode, crimping cannot be started using the crimping
button before first selecting 0-position or opening dies with retraction button 9. Dies will not open if they are
already in the set retraction position (signal lamp 10 illuminated).
8. CRIMPING DIAMETER REACHED
The signal lamp is illuminated when the dies have reached the set crimping diameter.
9. RETRACTION BUTTON
The dies will open when this button is pressed. The dies open until the button is released or the set
retraction diameter has been reached. When using this button, manual mode must be selected.
10. RETRACTION DIAMETER REACHED
The signal lamp is illuminated when the dies have reached the set retraction diameter, i.e. retraction
position. Automatic mode cannot get started unless the retraction position has been reached.
11. DELAY SIGNAL LAMP
The signal lamp is illuminated when the delay function is active.
12. RETRACTION DIAMETER CONTROL
The dial is used to adjust the retraction diameter of master dies after the crimping cycle. Adjust the
retraction large enough so that the fitting to be crimped is easy to insert between the dies but the "extra"
movement is as short as possible. The retraction becomes larger when the dial is turned clockwise.
13. CRIMPING DIAMETER CONTROL
The crimping diameter is defined by means of this dial and the die set that is used. The dial covers
0...10 mm. The measuring scale is divided into divisions of either 0.01 mm or 0.1 mm. The crimping
diameter increases when the dial is turned clockwise. If the dial is of multi-turn type, as in IS-models, one
turn is equivalent to a 1 mm change in the crimping diameter. In AS-models the diameter changes by 1 mm
between two digits.

6. SEMI-AUTOMATIC CRIMPING
This button starts crimping movement provided that the symbol of semi-automatic crimping is shown
on the mode display.
7. CRIMPING BUTTON
The dies will close when this button is pressed. The dies move until the button is released or the set
crimping diameter has been reached.
When using this button, manual mode must be selected.
8. RETRACTION BUTTON
The dies will open when this button is pressed. The dies open until the button is released or the set
retraction diameter has been reached.
This button can be used either in manual mode or in semi-automatic and foot pedal modes in a situation
when you want to open dies in the middle of crimping.
9. CRIMPING DIAMETER
The crimping diameter is defined by selecting a value on this display and by means of the die set used. The
crimping range extends from the minimum crimping diameter of the smallest die set programmed up to the
maximum crimping diameter of the largest die set programmed. It is divided into divisions of 0.1 mm. In
addition, the crimping diameter can be modified by correction adjustment.
10. DIE SET
When the crimping diameter is being adjusted, VS control automatically recommends a die set best suited
for the selected diameter. If desired, the operator may use another die set covering the diameter in
question. Thus he may manage to avoid changing die sets but the crimping result will not be as good as if
the recommended die set would have been used.
11. CORRECTION
Different fittings require more or less crimping force. The machine frame design, however, contracts and
expands according to the required crimping force. That is why the crimping diameter must be corrected in
order to reach the intended crimping result. It is recommended to use the correction function in modifying
the crimping diameter so that the correct crimping diameter for the fitting in question could be saved on the
crimping diameter display for the next time it is needed.
12. RETRACTION DIAMETER
The retraction diameter indicates the opening of master dies after the crimping cycle. Adjust the retraction
large enough so that the fitting to be crimped is easy to insert between the dies but the "extra" movement is
as short as possible. The retraction value is the diameter of the opening between the dies in millimetres.
13. CRIMP COUNTER
The counter counts crimps either from zero or from a set value onwards.
14. FITTING TYPE
Crimping data of your own or of the fitting manufacturer can be stored in the memory of the control unit. You
can name a fitting type as you like or use fitting types of the fitting manufacturer.
15. PRESSURE SWITCH AND CRIMPING DELAY
Pressure switch function and crimping delay on / off. See VS control, page 9.
16. RECALL OF STORED CRIMPING DATA
The crimping data of a certain fitting type can be recalled from the control unit memory. See VS control, page
6.

17. STORING OF CRIMPING DATA
Crimping data are stored in the memory for the next time to be used. It is worth while naming a fitting type to
facilitate finding it again. See VS control, page 8.
18. SETUPS
Set-ups of crimping delay, pressure switch, mm/inch and calibration. See VS control, page 10.
19. MODE SELECTION
See VS control, page 9.
MANUAL : Master dies can be opened by pressing retraction button 8 and closed by pressing
crimping button 7. Manual mode is used when changing dies and adjusting settings.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC : Crimping movement gets started when the semi-automatic crimping button 6 is
pressed. The movement can be interrupted by releasing the button. If need be, dies can be opened by
using retraction button 8. Crimping goes on when the button is repressed. After reaching the crimping
diameter, dies return to the retraction position irrespective of whether the button is pressed or not.
AUTOMATIC : Crimping starts when the fitting is pressed against the stop device. The movement
stops if the stop device is not adequately pressed by the fitting. It can also be stopped by withdrawing the
fitting from the stop device before it is gripped by dies. If need be, dies can be opened by using retraction
button 8. Crimping goes on when the fitting is repressed against the stop device. After reaching the
crimping diameter, dies return to the retraction position irrespective of whether the fitting is pressed against
the stop device or not.
FOOT PEDAL : Crimping starts when the foot pedal is pressed. The movement can be interrupted
by lifting the foot from the pedal. If need be, dies can be opened by using retraction button 8. Crimping goes
on when the foot pedal is repressed. After reaching the crimping diameter, dies return to the retraction
position irrespective of the position of the foot pedal.
TOOL CHANGE : The VS control advises the operator to change the die set. See VS control, page 11.

Setting the crimping diameter FP20
SETTING THE CRIMPING DIAMETER IS/AS
From the crimping
diameter chart on the door
of the die set storage
locker you can see the die
set numbers and the
corresponding crimping
ranges.
The upper section of the
chart shows the
corresponding dial position
for each crimping diameter
in the columns. The upper
dial positions are for AS
and lower for IS-models.
Crimping diameters in the
grey zone of the chart are
not recommended.
The crimping diameter dial
has been calibrated at the
factory so that when the
dial is set at 0.0, the
resulting diameter will be
the minimum diameter of
the die set installed, i.e.
with die set No FP20-16
the crimping diameter will
be 16 mm, No FP20-19
gives a diameter of 19 mm etc.
The crimping diameter increases when the dial is turned clockwise. In IS-models one turn is equivalent to a
1 mm change in the crimping diameter. In AS-models the diameter change is 1 mm between two digits. The
measuring scale of the dial is divided into divisions of either 0.01 mm in IS-models or 0.1 mm in
AS-models.
EXAMPLE: The crimping diameter of the fitting should be 20.6 mm. Select die set No FP20-19 (min
crimping diameter 19 mm) according to the die chart. Turn the IS-dial to position 1.60 (upper scale 1, lower
60). The AS-dial is turned to position 1.6. This setting will give the crimping diameter 20.6 mm (19 + 1.6
mm).
The machine has been calibrated at the factory with 40 bar pressure. This means that when you are
crimping a fitting requiring 40 bar pressure, the measuring scale of the crimping diameter dial provides an
accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm (possible elastic recovery of the fitting not regarded). When fittings requiring higher
pressure are crimped, the crimping diameter may become larger than the value on the scale due to machine
deflections. Then the crimping diameter has to be corrected by changing the scale value.
SETTING THE CRIMPING DIAMETER VS
•While the crimping diameter display is surrounded by the cursor, activate it by pressing E.
•Select the desired crimping diameter by turning the selector and press E.
•Check the die set used and change it if need be.
•When required, set the retraction diameter in the same way.

correction function.
