1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides application and
maintenance procedures for Crimping Die Assembly
58510--1. See Figure 1. When used in
PRO--CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Frame
Assembly 58532--[ ] the die assembly crimps
Fixed--Shroud Duplex fiber--optic connectors with
base part numbers 501780 and 502015, and FSD
Breakout Kit Assembly 502020.
The die assembly and frame assembly together form
PRO--CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Assembly
58519--1. The die assembly can be purchased
separately, or purchased with the hand tool assembly.
For connector assembly procedures, refer to
instruction sheet 408--9373 (FSD Connectors) or
408--9469 (FSD Breakout Kit Assembly). For
information concerning the use and maintenance of
Frame Assembly 58532--1, refer to instruction sheet
408--4020.
Read these and all referenced materials before using
the die assembly.
Reasons for reissue are in Section 7, REVISION
SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The die assembly features an indenter die and an
anvil die. When closed, the dies form two crimping
chambers, which crimp the crimp ring of the
connector onto the connector strain relief and the
cable strength members. The larger crimping
chamber is used to crimp FSD connectors. Both
chambers are used for the breakout kit assembly: the
larger to crimp duplex crimp rings and the smaller to
crimp simplex crimp rings. Each die is held in the tool
jaws with a single screw. See Figure 2.

3. DIE INSTALLATION (Figure 2)
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases;
then allow the tool handles to open FULLY.
2. Install anvil die in the movable jaw of the tool
frame. Align the die with the retaining screw hole;
then secure die with the die--retaining screw. Do
NOT fully tighten.
3. Install indenter die in the stationary jaw of the
tool frame. Slowly close the tool handles, allowing
the dies to align themselves. When dies are
properly aligned, securely tighten both screws with
the appropriate hex wrench.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE (Figure 3)
Prepare connector and cable according to the
instructions packaged with the connector, and
proceed as follows:
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases;
then allow the tool handles to open FULLY.
2. Place the strain relief assembly (with the outer
crimp ring in place) in the appropriate crimping
chamber so that the flange of the strain relief rests
against the sides of the die. See Figure 3.
3. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases;
then open the tool handles to remove the crimped
connector.
5. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
5.1. Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint--free
cloth. Do NOT use any objects that could damage
the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die--retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the dies are not in use, store them in a
clean, dry area.
4. Store the tool with the tool handles closed to
prevent objects from becoming lodged within the
jaws.
5.2. Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
2. Make certain that all die--retaining screws and
die components are properly secured.
3. Inspect the crimping surfaces for flattened,
chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer to
Section 6, REPLACEMENT.

5.3. Measuring Die Opening
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
(1) the product specified is correct for the application,
(2) the specific die assembly is used, (3) the die
assembly has been measured to ensure that the
openings are correct, and (4) the tool has been
adjusted correctly. Figure 4 provides information on
die openings.

5.4. Ratchet Adjustment (Figure 5)
The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features
an adjustment wheel with numbered settings. If the
crimp is not acceptable, adjust the ratchet as follows:
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the opposite side of the tool.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a
tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment
wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher--numbered setting. If a looser crimp is
required, rotate the adjustment wheel
CLOCKWISE to a lower--numbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the crimp is acceptable, replace and
secure the lockscrew. If the dimension is
unacceptable, continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.
