NOTE
i
Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or market
these gages. However TE recommends the
modified micrometer (Crimp Height Comparator
RS-1019-5LP) or the digital Mitutoyo
micrometer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Figure 4 and select a cable (maximum
size) for each crimp section listed.
2. Refer to Section 5, CRIMPING PROCEDURE,
and crimp the shield(s) accordingly.
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure the
insulation barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 4.
If the crimp height conforms to that shown in the
table, the tool is considered dimensionally correct.
If not, the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Section
7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

7. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 5)
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the locator 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.

5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp
height. If the dimension is acceptable, replace and
secure the lockscrew. If the dimension is
unacceptable, continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.
8. MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the tool and dies are clean by wiping
them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with
a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could
damage the tool. When not in use, keep handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping dies, and store in a clean, dry area.
9. VISUAL INSPECTION
The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular
basis to ensure that they have not become worn or
damaged. Inspect the crimp sections for flattened,
chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage or
abnormal wear is evident, the tool must be replaced.
See Section 10, REPLACEMENT.
10. REPLACEMENT
Customer–replaceable parts are shown in Figure 1.
