This guide provides instructions for installing dies, preparing aluminum cable for crimping, and checking/adjusting the calibration of the TBM60RS ratchet driven crimper. It also includes troubleshooting for a locked tool.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Safety goggles, 1/8 inch Allen key, Wire brush or emery cloth
Supplies needed:
Matching die set (13470), T&B joint compound, Aluminum cable, Connector
- Open the Crimper Tool
Close the handles of the crimper and slide the directional lever to the 'Open' position. Open and close the handles once to prepare the tool for die installation or removal. Wear safety goggles during this process.
- Install or Change Crimping Dies
Hold the tool with the die retaining spring facing you. Insert the upper die under the die retaining spring in the tool head, ensuring the desired crimping nest faces the movable jaw. Hold the lower die with the rib down and the locking pin notch to the right. Slip the rib of the lower die into the groove in the movable jaw and push until the locking pin snaps into the notch, properly seating the die.
- Prepare Aluminum Cable for Crimping
Strip the insulation from the aluminum cable by whittling it like sharpening a pencil. Smear a thin layer of T&B joint compound on the exposed wire to seal the joint from corrosion. Work the compound down between the strands using a wire brush or emery cloth. Insert the prepared wire into the connector and compress.
- Check Tool Calibration
Place the matching die set (13470) into the tool. Close the tool completely. Open the handles. Carefully count the clicks while closing the handles. Repeat this process until no more clicks are heard (approximately 2 cycles). A count of 8-18 clicks indicates proper tool calibration.
- Calibrate the Tool (if necessary)
Open the tool. Remove the screw from the adjusting wrench using the provided 1/8 inch Allen key. The adjusting wrench is already placed on the adjusting nut. Turn the adjusting nut one flat (this is 1/8 to 1/4 turn) clockwise to add clicks or counterclockwise to decrease clicks. Relocate the wrench on the adjusting nut to align with the screw hole and replace the screw. Do not operate the tool without the wrench in place. Re-check the number of clicks as described in the calibration check section.
