What wire sizes can the CT-1525 crimp?
The CT-1525 crimping tool crimps #26-#22 AWG insulated terminals/splices and #22-#10 AWG fully insulated disconnects.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always verify that power is 'OFF' before working on wiring with this tool, as the cushioned grips do not insulate against shock.
Where can I find technical support?
Technical support can be reached at 1-800-777-3300 or via email at [email protected].
What is the crimping mechanism of the CT-1525?
The tool features a controlled cycle mechanism that prevents it from opening until the crimp cycle is complete.
What should I do if the tool is not functioning properly?
If the tool is defective or damaged, contact Panduit Customer Service or the EMEA Service Center for repair or replacement information.
How do I know if the crimp is correct?
Visual inspection dots on the insulation sleeve indicate proper crimp cycle: one dot for PKT A, two for red/blue, and three for yellow crimp pockets.
How should I maintain the CT-1525 tool?
In-service tools should be cleaned and inspected at least once a month and lubricated once a week with DOW CORNING® Molykote BR2 Plus.
What is the recommended wire strip length?
Refer to the product packaging for the specific wire strip length required for the terminals or disconnects being used.
What is the maximum force for the controlled cycle mechanism?
The force required to release the controlled cycle mechanism should be between 20 and 30 pounds-force (89 N to 133.5 N).
How do I inspect the crimping dies?
Visually inspect the crimping dies for worn, chipped, or broken edges and ensure the tool's return action is smooth.
