Instruction Manual Crimping Tool

copy
The crimping head can be smoothly turned by 330° around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better access to tight
corners and other dif
fi cult working areas.
The new tools feature an integrated pressure sensor which automatically identi fi es the achieved crimping force du-
ring every crimping operation. If a deviation from the set operation pressure is identi fi ed, an acoustic signal sounds
and a red display fl ashes (tab. 1).
A white LED illuminates the working space after activating the trigger. It automatically switches off 10 sec. after relea-
sing the trigger. This feature can be deactivated (see page V)
Through an optional USB adapter a report can be generated at the end of a working session at a PC documenting
the proper function of the tool.
The compact ergonomically formed design consists of 2 components. The grip area is rubber coated and therefore
slip resistent. The housing design is optimized in respect of the center of gravity which improves the handling and
supports fatique-proof working.
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.
Li-Ion batteries do neither have a memory effect nor self discharge. Even after long periods of non operation the tool
is always ready to operate. In addition we see a lower power weight ratio with 50% more capacity and shorter char-
ging cycles compared to NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is highly biologically degradeable and not hazardous to Water and has been rewarded „
The
Blue Angel “. The oil is suitable for low temperatures and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
3.3 Description of the tool indication
See table 1
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery (pic. 1.5) should have been tested. A low charging level
can be detected by the
fl ashing of the LED (pic. 1.3) for 20 s at the end of a crimping cycle.
