Emergency Release Of Forced Lock; Setting The Crimping Height - HARTING Han-Fast Lock Series Owner's Manual

Owner's Manual Crimping Tool HARTING Han-Fast® Lock

6. Emergency Release of Forced Lock

The forced lock will open automatically as soon as the crimping process is completed. When the crimping
process should be interrupted, the operator has to close the plier handles slightly and activate the emergency
release lever with the enclosed Allen wrench.

7. Setting the Crimping Height

The crimp force of the HARTING Crimping Tool is set at the manufacturer. The actuating hand force (idle
setting) is 130 – 180 N. The crimping die set and the tool are matched up in such a manner that through the
hand activation an optimal crimp is produced. Should the crimping result not match the required specifications
of the connector manufacturer (crimping height, pull-out force requirements), the following causes may have
occurred:
