Recalibrating The Crimper (Rec); Calibrating Your Tool (Cal) After Changing The Battery - KNIPEX DigiCrimp 97 52 63 DG Mode D'emploi

Operating Instructions
Four-indent crimping tool DigiCrimp® with digital display and wear monitoring

8. Recalibrating the crimper (REC)

NOTE
Always have authorised personnel calibrate your crimper; improper calibration will lead to bad
crimps.
• Set the display to mm using the MODE button (6) (see 2. Operation).
• Set the crimper die using the adjustment wheel (8) until gauge supplied with the crimper touches the dies
and you can move it without play.
• Make sure that the gauge measurement to be set is always taken from a larger value, such as from 1.05
mm down to 1.0 mm or from 2.05 mm down to 2.0 mm gauge.
• Keep the ON/OFF switch (7) pressed and press the MODE button (6) using the gauge. Keep the MODE
button (6) pressed for at least five seconds.
• Release the MODE button (6) after five seconds, and then release the ON/OFF switch (7).
• The digital display will automatically show a gauge value of 1.0 mm or 2.0 mm.
• Your crimper is recalibrated and ready for crimp parameter setting.

9. Calibrating your tool (CAL) after changing the battery

Info
Mechanical contact at the lower setting gives the reference value for calculating the current state
of wear. This value is permanently stored in the tool's memory, and cannot be altered. You will
need to calibrate the tool against this reference value every time you change the battery. Keep to
the sequence given below.
• Open the battery compartment (1) upwards.
• Remove the used battery.
• Turn the adjustment wheel down to the lower setting (minus sign turning direction) and leave it there.
• Insert the new battery. The display (5) will show CAL as a calibration request.
• Set the crimper to 1 mm or 2 mm using the gauge – turn the adjustment wheel (8) until you can move the
gauge between the dies without play as shown in 7.
• Keep the ON/OFF button (7) pressed, and press the MODE button (6) with the gauge.
• Make sure that the gauge measurement is always taken from a larger value, such as from 1.05 mm down
to 1.0 mm or from 2.05 mm down to 2.0 mm. This means, that at the beginning of the adjustment the
gauge can be inserted with having some play.
• Keep the MODE button pressed for at least five seconds. Release the MODE button after five seconds,
and then release the ON/OFF switch.
• The digital display will automatically show a gauge value of 1.0 mm or 2.0 mm.
• Your crimper is calibrated and ready for crimp parameter setting.
