© Panduit Corp. 2023

CT-2500CH (shown without Crimp Die Inserts)

CRIMPING HEAD REMOVAL / INSTALLATION

• Pull out the pins and remove crimp head for mounting different crimping die inserts into the crimp head. Once die inserts have been installed, reinsert the crimp head and lock the head with the locating pins (see Step 1) paying attention that the pins are locked securely before starting.
• The crimping cycle is terminated when the dies are completely closed and the maximum crimping force is reached, which is indicated by the auto retraction of the piston.
• Follow the instructions for installing crimp die inserts below. The directional callouts indicate die position for correct die orientation.

Refer to CT-2500, CT-2500/E (PA25346A01); CT-2500/L or CT-2500/LE (PA28113A01) Operation Manual for complete tool and crimping head instructions.
