These instructions apply to a common RG59 crimping tool shown in figure 1.1, you will notice that there are 3 adapters supplied with your new crimping tool as shown in figure 1.2
To setup your new crimping tool please select the adapter shown in figure 1.2 on the Left hand side this would be the adapter with a slightly raised center approximately 1cm higher than the overall adapter. Screw this adapter into the adapter receiver. See Figure 1.3 for installed adapter.
Figure 1.3 shows a general setting for your new tool that will produce a good solid connector application on your RG59 Cable. At this time adjust the height of your adapter and receiver to 18-19cm as shown in figure 1.3 Once completed you should have between 18-19cm between point A and point B once you have adjusted your tool to this specification tighten the locking nut down, you are now ready to begin installing your RG59 Snap & Seal connectors with your new Crimping Tool.

NOTE: The setting between A and B is for reference you may find adjusting this slightly will increase the performance of your new tool. Always check your connections and adjust your tool accordingly.

SECTION 2: Making your first RG59 CCTV cable.

We recommend that your use a good quality RG59 wire stripper see fig 2.1 which can be purchased at any Home Depot or Lowers home centre. Please note that this tool will also have to be adjusted properly to make a good clean cut on the end of your cable please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

See fig 2.3 for a properly stripped cable end. The distance from point A to B should be approximately
6-7cm and the distance from point B to C should be approximately 5-6cm with the overall distance from point A to C being 12-13cm.
