5.2. Measuring Die Opening
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
• the product specified is correct for the applica-
tion,
• the specific die assembly is used,
• the die assembly has been measured to ensure
that the openings are correct, and
• the tool has been adjusted correctly.
Figure 5 provides information on die opening sizes.

5.3. Ratchet Adjustment
The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features
an adjustment wheel with nine settings. The
adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle
pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies
during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust
the ratchet as follows:
1. Remove the screw at the ratchet adjustment
wheel so that the wheel can be rotated.
2. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a
higher notch. If the crimp is too tight, move the
wheel to a lower notch.
3. Replace and tighten the screw at the ratchet
adjustment wheel.

If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.
NOTE
i
Other hex crimp dies used to crimp GREENPAR
connectors may be used in this tool; however, the
ratchet adjustment wheel may require adjustment
to achieve acceptable crimp height.
6. DAMAGED CONTACTS AND FERRULES
CAUTION
!
Damaged contacts or ferrules may not be used. If
a center contact or ferrule is damaged during the
crimping operation, it must be replaced with a new
one.
7. PARTS REPLACEMENT
If the dies are damaged or worn excessively, they
must be replaced. Order replacement dies through
your Tyco Electronics Representative, or call
