The PRO-- CRIMPER III Hand Tool Frame Assembly is a “Commercial” grade
tool and is designed primarily for field installation, repair, maintenance work,
or prototyping in industrial, commercial, or institutional applications. Product
crimped with this tool will meet the crimp height requirement for hand tools in
the appropriate Application Specification (114-- series), but may not comply
with other feature parameters of the specification. Tyco Electronics offers a
variety of tools to satisfy your performance requirements. For additional
information, contact the Tooling Assistance Center at 1-- 800-- 722-- 1111.

1. INTRODUCTION
PRO--CRIMPER III Hand Tool Frame Assembly
58433--4 is designed to crimp OPTIMATE*
connectors onto fiber optic cable. See Figure 1.
NOTE
All dimensions on this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures are
for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
The die assembly is also available separately.
The tool frame also accepts other die assemblies
designed for PRO--CRIMPER III hand tool frames.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. Prepare the cable and connector according to
the instructions packaged with the connector.
2. Squeeze the tool handles until the ratchet
releases, then allow them to open fully.
3. Place the connector in the crimping chamber so
that the flange at the front of the support sleeve
rests against the side of the dies. See Figure 2.
4. Squeeze the tool handles until the ratchet
releases, then allow them to open. Remove the
crimped connector and cable.
5. Clean any epoxy from the die assembly.

If the crimp height measures 3.56+0.1 [.140+.004],
the ratchet is considered properly set.
If the crimp height is unacceptable, open the tool
handles, and remove the lockscrew (shown in
Figure 1) from the base of the ratchet adjustment
wheel (this will allow the wheel to be rotated). If the
crimped diameter is too large, turn the wheel
counterclockwise
to the next higher notch (tighter).
If the crimped height is too small (which is
unlikely), turn the wheel
clockwise
to the next lower
notch (looser).
2. Re--install and tighten the lockscrew.
NOTE
For other die assemblies, the ratchet adjustment
wheel might need to be adjusted in order to meet
the crimping specifications.

4. INSPECTION
4.1. Visual Inspection
1. Inspect the tool frame and die assembly on a
regular basis to ensure that they have not become
worn or damaged.
2. Inspect the crimping chamber of the die
assembly for flattened, chipped, worn, or broken
areas. If damaged, replace the die assembly.
6. REVISION SUMMARY
Revisions to this instruction sheet include:
4.2. Ratchet Inspection
The ratchet mechanism of the tool features an
adjustment wheel with eight settings. The ratchet
adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle
pressure exerted on the die assembly during the
crimping procedure. Although the ratchet is adjusted
and preset before shipping, general use and
subsequent wear may cause it to go out of
adjustment. It is recommended that the ratchet be
inspected, and adjusted if necessary as follows:
1. Measure the crimp height of a connector crimp
eyelet (shown in Figure 2), or a 4.75 [.187]
diameter solder rod, or a copper wire size 6 AWG
(having an insulation diameter of 4.11 [.162]).
