2.2 Brief description of the important features of the unit
Safety features:
The unit is equipped with a special brake which instantly stops the forward motion of the piston/dies when the trigger
is released.
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 VII)
Hydraulic Pressure Check, HPC for short, monitors the oil pressure in the tool’s oil circuit, hence ensuring a continu-
ous, consistent press quality.
During each pressing cycle, the achieved crimping pressure is determined by a pressure sensor and compared to the
required minimum value. An audible warning signal sounds if the achieved pressure differs from the speci
fi
ed working
pressure. The user will know immediately that the
fi
tting must be checked and repressed or replaced as required.
