PROPER USE GUIDELINES

Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and

low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet is intended to provide you with

instructions” on product application and a

maintenance and for: TERMASHIELD Ferrule

Crimping Dies (Used in Tools 59500 and 69270-1

(Mod. 2):

TERMASHIELD ferrules on single and multiple

conductor shielded wires with a primary conductor

Basic instructions on the use of these tools, dies, die

insertion and removal, etc., are provided in Section 2,

'For further instructions relative to the pneumatic tool

and hand tool, refer to the instructions packaged with

these tools.

Section 3 contains a “Maintenance and Inspection

Procedure” which will enable you to establish and

maintain a die certification program.

These instructions may be used for dies not listed in

Figure 1 but accompanied by this 408 series

document. For unlisted dies, strip wire and crimp in

the same manner as for identical size dies.

2. INSTRUCTIONS

2.1. Selection Data for Dies, Ferrules, and Insulating

Caps

A. Single Conductor Shielded Wire

To determine which dies, ferrule and insulating cap to

use with single conductor shielded wire, refer to -

Figure 1

.

The package numbers shown in Figure 1 are sup-

plied with equal quantities of ferrules and insulating

caps, but include only zinc plated ferrules.

1. Determine the outside (insulation) diameter of

the primary conductor.

2. Locate this dimension in the appropriate

primary conductor

insulation range in column 2

of Figure 1. Opposite the insulation range you will

find the catalog numbers of the crimping die.

ferrule and insulating cap to use.

Crimping dies, ferrules and insulating caps are

color coded. For example: Use dies color coded

green to crimp a green fermle. Place a green insu-

lating cap on the green ferrule after ferrule is

crimped.

B. Multiple Conductor Shielded Wire

To determine which dies, ferrule and insulating cap to

use with shielded wire having two or more conductors,

use the following formula: Multiply the outside

(insulation) diameter of one primary conductor by the

“factor”, see Figure 2, listed opposite the total number

of conductors in the wire. For example:

1. If you had a 3-conductor shielded wire, you

would first find the outside (insulation) diameter

of one conductor. In this case, we will use an

outer diameter of .082 inches.

2. Opposite the number “3” (the number of

primary conductors in the wire) in column one of

Figure 2, you will find a multiplying factor of 2.17.

3. Multiply the outer diameter of the one

conductor (.082 inches) by this factor (2.17). The

result is.177. This figure (.177) is the primary

conductor insulation range of the three-conductor

shielded wire.

4. Next, refer to column 2 of Figure 1. Opposite

the insulation range of.145 to .184, you will find

the numbers of the crimping die, ferrule and

insulating cap to use.

2.2. Die Insertion Hand Tool No 59500

Dies are coated with oil to prevent rust and corrosion.

Wipe this oil from dies, particularly from crimping area.

1. (To open tool handles, close handles until

CERTI-CRIMP* tool ratchet releases. See Figure

3. Note that once ratchet is engaged, handles

cannot be opened until they are fully closed.
