RIPLEY COMPANY Cablematic CR 211CX Operating Instructions

Warning: This tool is not insulated against electrical shock and should be used with electrically insulated gloves. This tool
is not to be used for purposes other than intended.
Note: Insure that you have received the correct tool for the connector you are using. Connector hex sizes and other
connector specifications can be obtained from your connector supplier. Hex size information for Cablematic crimp tools is
included on the back page of this instruction sheet.
The Cablematic heavy duty toggle action crimp tools provide the proper compression force and sizes required to insure R.F.I. protection and increase
retention of the connector on the cable. The toggle action provides a very high mechanical advantage assuring a proper crimp each time. Designed with a
heavy duty frame plus a fine compression adjustment feature, these tools will provide years of reliable service.
After crimping the connector assembly, if the ring and connector are not secure on the cable check for undersize O.D. of the cable.
Never Re-Crimp in a smaller hex die opening. This will damage the tool and destroy the integrity of the connector.
If your crimp looks like the diagram in Fig. B below you have an over-sized crimp ring or an undersized crimp tool. To complete the crimp will damage
the crimp tool. Check with your connector manufacturer for the proper crimp ring size.

CR-R FULL CYCLE CRIMP TOOL (Ratchet Type)
This CABLEMATIC TM Hex Crimp Tool has been designed with a "Full Cycle" closing feature to
assure full connector termination. The "Full Cycle" closing feature provides the precision crimping
action of our original "Positive Homing Action" tool design and also allows complete compression
adjustment of the tool. The crimping cycle can be interrupted at any point during the crimp cycle.
To start the crimping process operate the tool through its normal cycle (See Figure 1). When the
cycle is complete the pawl mechanism will automatically release and allow the tool to open. Open
completely by moving the lever arm (A) as indicated (See Figure 2). This will allow the pawl
mechanism to reset. Position the connector and cable assembly into its proper hex cavity and begin
closing the tool. Continue this crimp cycle until the lever arm has bottomed out and the "Positive
Homing Action" is achieved. At this time the "Full Cycle" mechanism will automatically release and
the tool can be opened up in order to remove the crimped connector and cable assembly.
®
CABLEMATIC Crimp Tools are manufactured with the finest materials available. However, to
overcome normal wear and to ensure longer tool life, a compression adjustment feature has been added.
After extensive use, the jaws do not come together and provide the correct crimp. The tool can be
adjusted. Remove the socket head screw from the adjustment "Star Wheel". Move the "Star Wheel"
clockwise in ½ to 1 indents or until proper adjustment is obtained and replace the set screw in the
threaded hole closest to the proper setting.
