The CQM II will graph a crimp curve (provided the force is sufficient) but will not be analyzing the crimp.
  • Page 22: Learn

    409-10100   4.11. Learn To learn the process, proceed with crimping the number of terminals required for Learn (as entered in the CQM Settings). Carefully inspect each crimp to ensure its quality. If the Crimp is not to your quality requirements, then you can Reject the crimp and do it again.
  • Page 23 409-10100 . Once you have completed all of the Learn crimps, the display will indicate Process Learned. It is recommended to re-learn the process if something dramatically changes in the process such as changing to a new reel of terminals or a different type of wire. It is also advisable to Re-Learn if while in production you experience too many failures that with further inspection meet your quality requirements.
  • Page 24: Production

    After the display indicates Process Learned, you can then proceed to Production. Touch the Production icon or the right arrow icon to move to the next task.

    409-10100 8.4. Quality Control Maintenance Your quality control personnel should perform regular inspections. A record of quality control inspections should remain with the personnel responsible for the CQM. TE recommends one inspection a month; however, operator skill, amount of use, ambient working conditions, and your company’s established standards are all factors in establishing frequency of inspections.
