Description
The Electronic Crimping Tools can be used to crimp and decap standard crimp caps on
laboratory sample vials. A variety of jaw sets are offered to accommodate the most popular sizes.
Crimping Tool Setup
Please read through this entire manual to familiarize yourself with the operation of the instrument
before proceeding. Use the same degree of care as you would with any precision instrument.
Remove the instrument, power supply and cable from the shipping container.
Inspect the crimper or decapper. If there is any visible damage contact your supplier immediately.
Operation
Charging the Battery
The battery must be charged before the crimper or decapper can be used.
The 7.5 volt DC power supply comes with a set of clips to fit power outlets for most countries.
Slide the correct clip into the back of the power supply, and plug the supply into the power main.
Plug the power jack from the DC supply into the crimping tool. After a pause the Battery LED on
the front of the tool will begin blinking green, showing that the charging has started. After 1 to 2
hours the LED will display a steady green light, indicating that the charge is complete.
Disconnect the crimper from the charging supply.
Selecting Compatible Vials, Caps and Seals
Restek electronic crimping tools may not be used with all-steel caps. Aluminum caps or
two-part caps with aluminum sides and seals of standard size and thickness are
appropriate.
