3.2 Brief description of the important
features of the unit
The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retrac-
tion which returns the piston into its starting position
when the maximum operating pressure is reached.
A manual retraction allows the user to return the pis-
ton into the starting position.
An automatic retraction stops the retraction of the
piston depending on the connector size which sa-
ves time and energy.
The unit is equipped with a special brake which
stops the forward motion of the piston/dies when
the trigger is released.
The unit is equipped with a double piston pump
which is characterised by a rapid approach of the
dies towards the connector and a slow crimping
motion.
The crimping head can be smoothly turned by 350°
around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better
access to tight corners and other dif
fi
cult working
areas.
The tool is equipped with a microprocessor which
indicates service intervals and low battery charges
and performs internal checks sending out acousti-
cal and optical warning signals in case of a detected
fault.
All tool functions can be controlled by
one
trigger.
This results in an easy handling and a better grip
compared to a two button operation.
