Part No. CT-1570
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NON-INSULATED TERMINAL AND
DISCONNECT CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the open position, insert
the terminal or disconnect in the proper crimp
pocket (See Figure 1). For butted or brazed
seam terminals, place the seam opposite of
the indentor. Center the terminal barrel in the
crimp pocket (See Figure 2). Refer to product
packaging for selection of proper crimp pocket.
2. Close the tool handles until the terminal or
disconnect barrel is held snugly in position—
do not deform the barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the terminal or

NON-INSULATED SPLICE
CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the open position,
insert the splice into the proper crimp
pocket (See Figure 1) with the indentor
centered over the half of the barrel to be
terminated first (See Figure 3). Refer to
product packaging for selection of
proper crimp pocket.
2. Close handles until the barrel is held
snugly in position—do not deform the
barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the splice
until the wire stops and it is visible
through the inspection opening. Crimp
the splice by closing the handles until
the controlled cycle mechanism
releases. Refer to product packaging for
wire strip length.
4. Remove the splice and repeat operation
for crimping the other end of the splice.
Figure 2
4. Crimp the terminal or disconnect by closing the handles until the controlled cycle mechanism releases. Upon
release, the handles will open automatically and the crimped terminal or disconnect can be removed.
After crimping, inspect that the crimp is centered on the disconnect barrel in order to achieve
optimal pullout performance.

INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
NEW TOOLS BEFORE PLACING INTO SERVICE:
All Panduit crimping tools are calibrated and
inspected before they are shipped from the factory. All
new tools should be inspected before being used.
New tools are shipped, factory lubricated, in protective
packaging. After inspection, simply clean any excess
oil from the crimping dies and place into service.
When the tool is not in use, keep the handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping area. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DIE CLOSURE INSPECTION
Die closure is measured by using GO/NO GO gage members (dimensions listed in Table 1).

CRIMP
POCKET
AWG / mm
22-18 / 0,5-1,5 .050” .063” 1,27 mm 1,60 mm

12-10 / 4,0-6,0 .097” .110” 2,46 mm 2,79 mm
1. Clean the crimping dies and gage member surfaces.
2. Close the tool handles until the crimping dies are bottomed and the controlled cycle mechanism
releases. Keep the handles closed together.
3. Using the appropriate gage member, attempt to insert the NO GO gage into the die opening. The NO
GO side may partially enter the die closure but must NOT pass completely through. Perform this test
for all three crimp pockets.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the appropriate GO gage for all three crimp pockets. The GO side must enter
and pass completely through the die closures.
5. If both gage conditions are met, the tool is dimensionally correct. If either condition fails, contact
Panduit Customer Service, or Panduit EMEA Service Center for technical assistance.

IN-SERVICE TOOLS AFTER TOOLS HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE:
It is recommended that each operator of the tool
be made aware of - and responsible for
following these maintenance steps.:
In-service tools should be cleaned and
inspected at least ONCE A MONTH. To cleanwipe with a clean cloth.
In-service tools should be lubricated ONCE A
WEEK, and after every cleaning. Lubricate all
pins, pivots and bearing surfaces with DOW
CORNING®Molykote BR2 Plus. Do not use oil
excessively.
Be sure to clean any excess oil from the
crimping dies before using.

DOW CORNING
VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect the tool for missing or loose
pins, then close the tool and note the return
action of the handles.
2. Inspect the crimping dies for worn, chipped
or broken edges.
3. If parts are missing, defective or damaged,
contact Panduit Customer Service, or
Panduit EMEA Service Center for
information on repair or replacement of tools.
PRELOAD FORCE INSPECTION
1. Close the handles until the controlled cycle
mechanism is engaged, but before the
mechanism releases.
2. Apply a force to the handles 1-1/4" (32 mm)
from the end of the handles, until the
controlled cycle release mechanism
releases. Record the reading using a force
gauge.
3. The force required to release the controlled
cycle release mechanism should be a
minimum of 15 pounds-force (67 N). If the
force required is less than 15 pounds-force
(67 N), contact Panduit Customer Service, or
Panduit EMEA Service Center for technical
assistance.
