1309 Series Crimp Tool Instructions for Operation & Maintenance NOTE: Use of non Anderson Power Products (APP) crimp tools can affect UL & CSA approval. See website for comprehensive application tooling data and the most current versions of documents, including this one. Upper die Operating Procedure 1. Strip cable according to manufacturers specifications. Locator 2. Select the appropriate cavity for the contact being crimped per below chart. Lower die 3. Place contact on lower die with the contact wings or crimp barrel crease facing towards the upper die (See Figure 1). Press the contact fully back into the locator until the wire stops or the crimp barrel end is slightly inside the locator (See Figure 2). 4. Close tool carefully until jaws grip the contact. 5. Insert the properly stripped wire into the contact. Figure 1 6. Holding the wire in place, close the tool past the ratchet release position and allow the jaws to open. (A ratchet release lever is provided to allow removal of an incorrectly placed or oversized contact). * Open Barrel Contact 7. Remove and inspect the crimp. There should not be any noticeable distortion in the angle of the contact blade (See Figure 3). To far out End of locator from locator 8. Test by holding contact and pulling firmly on cable.

Wire will vary by type, material, class, and manufacturers rating & specifications. APP crimp recommendations are intended to be used as a guide towards achieving UL & CSA compliant crimps that enable the best performance of our connector systems. It is incumbent upon those assembling / manufacturing with APP connectors to perform pull-out strength, mV drop, and other testing as needed to ensure that crimps meet the customer specific requirements. *** Should only be used with 2003G2-LPBK contacts. www.andersonpower.com1309 Series Crimp Tool Instructions for Operation & Maintenance Page 2 Tool Maintenance 1.

Lubricate tool after cleaning using a light film of medium weight oil on moving parts. 7. A light coating of lithium grease may be used on die cavities. 8. When not in use, keep handles closed, but without significant force on the dies. Store in a clean dry area. Load applied How to Adjust Tool Preload Figure 4 1. Measure current tool preload force by placing the end of one of the handles on a scale and pushing the other grip until the ratchet releases. The amount of force should be measured 1 3/4 Small cavity Locator and nose end of hand tool inches from handle end as shown (See Figure 4). Large cavity 2. To adjust tool to obtain proper force values, open the handles and remove the cam locking screw with the hex key wrench (See Figure 5). 3. Rotate the cam clockwise to increase handle load or counterclockwise to decrease handle load. 4. Position odd numbers on the cam in the locking screw hole adjacent to the letter L and even numbers adjacent to the letter T. 5. Lock the cam at the desired handle load setting by inserting the locking screw and remeasure the force. Continue adjustment if necessary.

Using 9 mm or 11/32 wrench, tighten the nut on the locator stud until it bottoms out (do not over torque or the locator may crack). 2. LOOSEN THE NUT ONE COMPLETE TURN. This is required for correct tool operation. NOTE: Distortion of the contacts can occur if the locator is not adjusted properly so that it is allowed to move.
