1.0 General Product & Safety Information Product Information • Unit is designed to expand flexible tubing up to a durometer of Shore A 85 (Shore D 35), including any non-metallic braided materials. • The minimum/maximum inside tube diameter is 1/16” – 9/16”. •...
• 120 to 240V AC power supply required for operation. The unit will come with the appropriate 24 VDC power supply. Connection Setup Setting up the connections on the CRD202 is a simple task. Please reference Figure 2.3.1 below when making all connections to the back panel:...
Jaw Hold-Open Toggle Switch Sensor Toggle Switch Power Jack Foot Pedal Jack Figure 2.3.1: Electronics enclosure connections 3.0 Operation Jaw Adjustment • Start by using a 9/16” wrench to loosen the 3/8” hex nut at the bottom end of the lower jaw support block assembly to adjust the unit for the proper tubing size.
Be careful that you do not over tighten the nut. Setting the Time Delays • The CRD202 expansion operation is designed to expand each piece of tubing twice. After the first expansion, the jaws will close and the operator rotates the tube 90 degrees and the jaws will automatically expand again using the sensor.

Figure 3.2.3: Time Delay Relay and Time Adjustments Expanding Operation • The CRD202 is designed to be used with a photo-sensor that will automatically sense the presence of tubing over the jaws. The sensor is aligned against the tangent of the jaw as shown in Figure 3.3.1 below: Note: The unit may be operated with an optional electric...

• To adjust the jaws for the size tubing to be expanded you need to loosen the 3/8” hex nut (Lock Nut.) • With A/C power and compressed air attached to the expander, actuate the electric foot switch which will activate the expander. Adjust the expander lower jaw to the position you want using the Thumb Wheel Knob.
Sensor Adjustment Screw Figure 3.3.2: Sensor Adjustment Screw • To operate the foot switch (optional), turn the switch on the rear cover to the up position and plug in the foot switch jack. Note: The foot pedal will operate the unit when it is plugged in, regardless of the switch position.

1. Ensure there are no obstructions keeping the jaws from expanding. Jaws do not expand. 2. Completely depress the foot pedal to actuate. 3. Ensure the toggle switch is set to the appropriate setting (sensor or foot pedal) 1. Ensure the tubing being expanded does not exceed the recommended durometer.
