1. INTRODUCTION
SDE Closed Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213890--[ ] consists of the SDE Battery Powered Crimp
Tool (with the SDE Closed Head Assembly installed), as well as two rechargeable battery cartridges
(1725839--1) to power the tool. See Figure 1. Each kit has a battery charger. The battery charger part number,
its voltage, and the kit’s region of use are listed in the table below. A battery tool may have a release switch to
retract the ram as listed in the table on Page 3. The SDE Closed Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool is
designed to accept interchangeable die assemblies used in PRO--CRIMPER* III hand crimping tools for
crimping various types of connectors.
2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION
SDE Closed Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213890--[ ] is thoroughly inspected during and after
assembly. Prior to packaging and shipping, a final series of tests and inspections is made to ensure proper
function of the tool. The following inspection should be performed as a safeguard against potential problems
generated in transit.
1. In a well--lighted area, carefully uncrate the tool and inspect each component as it is removed from
the crate.
2. Thoroughly inspect each component for evidence of damage that may have occurred in transit. If any
of the components are damaged, file a claim against the carrier and notify TE Connectivity immediately.
3. Keep this manual and all drawings and product samples with the tool for the benefit of operation and
maintenance personnel.
The crimp tool should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals, depending on care, degree of operator
skill, the type and size of product being crimped, and environmental conditions. At a minimum, the tool should
be inspected after every 40 hours of use.
3. INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF SDE CRIMP DIES
Do not operate the tool without the SDE Crimp Head Installed. Damage to the ram or seals can result.
Do not operate the tool without the SDE dies. Damage to the crimp head can result.
SDE Closed Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool 1213890--[ ] comes with the crimp head already installed on the
battery--powered hand tool. The only installation required is the installation of the SDE dies.
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise extreme caution when handling the crimp tool. Remove the battery before
installing or removing crimp dies.
3.1. Installation of SDE Crimp Dies
These instructions are specific to the use of TE SDE Crimp Dies. Be sure to use ONLY TE Crimp Dies.
The SDE Battery Operated Crimp Tool cannot be used to crimp parallel splices.

A. Installation of Shouldered Dies (Figure 2 )
1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. Remove the two die retaining screws from the crimp head.
3. Remove the ram plate from the moving jaw.
4. Place the upper die in the upper portion of the tool head so that the largest indenter is on the right.
5. Insert the die retaining screw through the upper jaw and through the die. Tighten the screw just
enough to hold the die in place. Do NOT tighten the screw completely at this time. See Figure 2.
6. Place the lower die in the moving jaw of the crimp head so that the largest anvil is on the right.
7. Place the ram plate on the moving jaw. The chamfers on the corners of the ram plate should be
located adjacent to the die set.
8. Insert the die retaining screw through the ram plate; die set, and the moving jaw. Tighten the screw
just enough to hold the die in place. Do NOT tighten the screw completely at this time.
9. Replace the battery and pulse the trigger to slowly close the crimp head, making sure the anvils and
indenters are properly aligned.
10. When the anvils and indenters are aligned, tighten the retaining screws.

B. Installation of Pinned Dies (Figure 3)
1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. Remove the two die retaining screws from the crimp head.
Be sure to keep the die retaining screws. Although they will not be required to install pinned dies, you may need them
for future use.
3. Remove the ram plate from the moving jaw.
4. Install the anvil die into the moving jaw of the crimp head. The die assembly should be oriented so
that the chamfers are positioned to the left of the head assembly, and the die markings are facing
outward.
5. Place the ram plate on the moving jaw. The chamfers on the corner of the ram plate should be
located adjacent to the die set.
6. Insert two die retaining pins and the short die retaining screw into the ram plate, through the anvil die
and moving jaw. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do NOT completely tighten the
screw at this time.
7. Install the crimper die into the upper jaw of the crimp head. The die should be oriented so that the
chamfers are positioned to the left of the head assembly and the die markings are facing outward.
8. Insert two die retaining pins and the long die retaining screw into the upper jaw and through the
crimper die. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place.
9. Replace the battery and check the die alignment by pulsing the trigger to slowly close the head,
making sure the anvil and indenter are properly aligned.

3.2. Removal of Shouldered and Pinned Dies
To avoid personal injury, remove the battery before removing dies.
To remove dies from the crimp head, remove the die retaining screws, die retaining pins, ram plate, and slide
the dies out of the crimp head.
4. OPERATION
4.1. Battery Installation and Removal (Refer to Figure 1)
The Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC introduces new requirements from September 2008 on removability of batteries
from waste equipment in EU Member States. To comply with this Directive, this device is designed to allow the
rechargeable battery pack to be easily removed by the end--user when it needs to be replaced.
To install the battery, slide the battery into the bottom of the crimp tool until it can go no further. There will be an
audible “click” of the battery lock to indicate that the battery has been properly installed.
To remove the battery, disengage the battery lock by applying pressure on the lock toward the bottom of the
tool and slide the battery away from the tool.
Always dispose of the old battery pack in an environmentally--responsible way, in accordance with local waste
regulations. Where possible, please recycle the battery cartridge. Contact your local authority for details of battery
recycling locations in your area.
4.2. Crimping
The following procedure provides only general information concerning crimping. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the dies for detailed information, including wire stripping dimensions and instructions for
positioning terminals and splices in the dies.
To operate the SDE Battery Powered Crimp Tool 1213890--[ ]:
To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the crimping area.
1. Insert the terminal into the dies.
2. Depress the trigger to advance the moving jaw in order to hold the terminal in place. Do NOT deform
the terminal body.
3. Place a pre--stripped wire in the barrel of the terminal.
4. Depress and hold the trigger to complete the crimp. The crimp tool returns automatically to the first
position of its cycle when the crimp is complete.
If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimping cycle is completed, push the release switch. Pushing the release
switch will result in the complete retraction of the ram. Only kits 1213890--1, --2, and --5 have a release switch.
This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimp tool to cool for 15 minutes.
