1. INTRODUCTION

C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213840--[ ] consists of the battery powered crimp tool (with the C--Head Adapter 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 below.

The C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213840--[ ] is designed to accept various crimping die assemblies that are sold separately and are available from TE Connectivity. For crimping die set information concerning wire preparation, crimping procedures, maintenance, inspection, and repair, refer to the applicable instruction for the appropriate crimping die set.

Figure 2 contains specifications of the C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213840--[ ].

2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION

The C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213840--[ ] 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 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. DIE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

CAUTION Do not operate the tool without the C--Head Adapter Installed. Damage to the ram or seals can result.

!

CAUTION

!

Do not operate the tool without a die set installed. Damage to the adapter can result.

C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213840--[ ] comes with the C--Head already installed on the battery--powered hand tool. The only installation required is the installation of the dies.

DANGER To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise extreme caution when handling the crimp tool. Remove the battery before installing or removing the dies.

3.1. Die Set Installation

(Figure 3 )

If dies to be installed in the tool require insulation adjustment, refer to the instruction sheet packaged with the dies for adjustment, then proceed as follows:

Each set of dies consists of a moving die and a stationary die. Most moving dies have square corners and the stationary dies have chamfered corners. See Figure 3. Exceptions to this feature will be shown on instruction sheets covering the the use of the particular dies.

1. Remove the battery from the tool.

2. Position the stationary die in the stationary die holder. Turn the die retaining screw sufficiently to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw.

3. Position the moving die in the moving die holder. Turn the die retaining screw sufficiently to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw.

4. Replace the battery and check the alignment by pulsing the trigger to (slowly) close the dies, making sure the anvil and indenter are properly aligned.

5. With the dies closed, tighten the die retaining screws.

3.2. Die Set Removal

To remove or change the dies, simply loosen the die retaining screws and remove the dies.

4. OPERATION

4.1. Battery Installation and Removal (Refer to Figure 1)

NOTE i

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.

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.

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.

DANGER To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the crimping area.

To operate the C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool 1213840--[ ]:

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.

409- 10057

NOTE i

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 1213840--1, --2, and --5 have a ratchet release switch.

This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimp tool to cool for 15 minutes.

CAUTION

!

5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

5.1. Daily Maintenance

Perform the following maintenance on a daily basis:

1. Inspect the die set, adapter assembly, and C--Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool for wear or damage such as cracks, gouges, or chips.

2. Inspect the crimp 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 on the head, particularly in areas where the dies are installed and terminals are crimped. Wipe the entire tool frequently with a clean, lint--free cloth.

DO NOT use objects that could damage the tool.

4. Make sure that the dies are aligned and the die retaining screws are in place and are tight. Check at least twice daily.

5.2. Yearly Maintenance

Once a year, or every 10,000 cycles (whichever comes first) The C--Head Adapter Battery Powered Crimp Tool should be returned to TE for inspection.
