Figure 2
Each kit is designed to accept interchangeable die assemblies used in PRO-CRIMPER* hand tools, which
crimp various types of product.
NOTE
This crimp tool accepts TE shoulder mounted die sets. Tool does not accept pin mounted die sets.
RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
Each kit 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 kit 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 kit for the benefit of operation and
maintenance personnel.
The crimping tool should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals, depending on care, degree of operator
skill, the type and size of the product to be crimped, and environmental conditions. At a minimum, the tool
should be inspected after every 40 hours of use.

Pressure Sensor
The tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts the user of an incomplete crimp.
If the tool is manually retracted before completion of a crimp, the red LED will flash for two seconds
and an audible alarm will sound for two seconds.
If the tool is unable to reach the required crimp force, the red LED will flash for two seconds and an
audible alarm will sound until after the trigger is released.
NOTE
The tool has an on-board memory of previous crimp cycles and the cycle count. This information can be accessed and
downloaded onto a computer using USB Adapter Module 2217896-1.
OPERATION
Battery Installation and Removal
NOTE
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 crimping tool until it can go no further. There will be
an audible “click” from 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
crimping tool and slide the battery away from the tool.
DANGER
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.
Die Assembly Installation and Removal
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise extreme caution when handling the crimping tool. Remove the battery before
installing or removing the die assembly.
Each kit is supplied with an SDE crimping head installed on the battery-powered crimping tool. The only
installation required is the die assembly.
CAUTION
Do not operate the tool without the SDE crimping head installed. Damage to the ram or seals can result.
CAUTION
Do not operate the tool without the die assembly installed. Damage to the crimping head can result.
The following instructions are specific to the use of TE SDE die assemblies. Make sure to use only TE SDE die
assemblies.
Installation
1. Remove the battery from the crimping tool.
2. Remove the two die retaining screws from the crimping head.
3. Slide the upper die into the stationary jaw of the crimping head. Orient the upper die so that the
indenters face inward, with the largest indenter entering first, and the screw holes align. See Figure 4.
4. Insert the upper die retaining screw into the screw hole of the stationary jaw and through the screw
hole of the upper die. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do NOT tighten the
screw completely at this time.

5. Slide the lower die into the movable jaw of the crimping head. Orient the lower die so that the anvils
face inward, with the largest anvil entering first, and the screw holes align. See Figure 4.
6. Insert the lower die retaining screw into the screw hole of the movable jaw and through the screw hole
of the lower die. Tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do NOT tighten the screw
completely at this time.
7. Re-install the battery, then pulse the trigger to slowly close dies, making sure the crimping chambers
are properly aligned.
8. When the crimping chambers are aligned, tighten the die retaining screws.
Figure 4
Removal
1. Remove the battery from the crimping tool.
2. Remove the die retaining screws, then slide the dies out of the jaws of the crimping head.
Crimping
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the crimping area.
1. Position the product to be crimped in the appropriate crimping chamber.
2. Depress the trigger to advance the ram. This closes the jaws to hold the product to be crimped in
place. Do not deform the wire barrel.
3. Insert a stripped wire in the wire barrel of the product to be crimped; making sure that the wire
insulation does not enter the wire barrel.
CAUTION
Do not use wires with nicked or missing conductor strands.

4. Hold the wire in position, then depress and hold the trigger to complete the crimp. The crimping tool
will return automatically to the first position of its cycle when the crimp is complete.
NOTE
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 -1 and -2 have a release switch.
CAUTION
This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimping tool to cool for 15 minutes.
CAUTION
Do not re-terminate the crimped product.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Daily Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance daily:
1. Inspect the crimping head jaws and dies for wear or damage such as cracks, gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks. If damage is detected, return the tool to TE for repair.
3. Clean the tool, removing accumulations of dirt and grease from the crimping head, particularly in
areas where the crimping head is installed and the product is crimped. Wipe the entire tool frequently
with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Yearly Maintenance
Once per year or every 10,000 cycles (whichever comes first), the crimping tool should be returned to TE for
inspection.
Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces with a high-quality grease. TE recommends the use of
Molykote paste, which is a commercially available lubricant.
Lubricate the crimping head in accordance with the following schedule:
Crimping head used in daily production: lubricated daily
Crimping head used occasionally in daily production: lubricate weekly
Crimping head used weekly: lubricate monthly
TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to Beginning Troubleshooting Procedures, Verify Battery is Operational
1. Be sure that the battery is charged. Re-check the battery after several minutes to ensure that the
battery is holding its charge.
2. Use a nonflammable contact cleaner or pencil eraser to clean the electrical contacts on the battery
and crimping tool.
3. Re-install the battery, and check the crimping tool again.
