Compression cycles
This guide indicates the number of compression cycles that the
TBM6PCR-LI can be expected to perform when the battery is fully
charged. These figures are approximate and will vary according
to the charging and other operating conditions, such as
temperature, humidity, and battery condition.
Switch operation
1. The ram advances when the Trigger is depressed and stops
when the Trigger is released.
2. To retract the ram, depress the Release button. The ram
continues to retract while the Release button is depressed. If
the auto-retract feature is activated, the ram will automatically
retract after the crimp is completed. See “Compression
operation” section, page 4 for instructions on enabling and
disabling the auto-retract function.
Compression operation
1. Select the appropriate size dies for the connector being used.
2. Insert one die half into the C-head. Insert the other half of the
die into the Ram (Figure 1).
3. The tool also accepts Burndy “W” type dies. Use of Burndy “W”
dies requires that the die set DBL be installed first according
to step 2. The “W” dies are then installed over the DBL dies
and are secured in place by the spring loaded pins (Figure 2).
4. Place connector between the dies. Press the trigger and
advance the Ram (Switch operation, page 4) so the connector
is held lightly between the dies. Do not deform the connector.
5. Insert the conductor into the connector.
6. Press the trigger until the compression is complete. A series
of clicks will be heard followed by a release in the pressure
when compression is complete. The LED indicator will display
green followed by an audible beep when a complete
compression is made. During an incomplete compression
cycle, the LED indicator will flash red followed by a series of
multiple audible beeps due to early release of the trigger or a
low battery. The battery level can be checked by observing the
gauge directly on the battery.
7. Press the release button (Switch operation, page 4) to retract
the ram. The ram continues to retract while the release button
is pressed. The ram stops when it is fully retracted.
8. Remove the compressed connector from the tool.
Auto retract
The auto retract feature can be toggled on or off depending on
user preference or specific job requirement. To turn auto
retraction off, remove rubber grommet and use a flat blade
screwdriver to rotate the indicator 90 degrees to either position
as shown below:
