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.
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 330°
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
shuts off the motor automatically after the crimp is
completed, indicates service intervals and low bat-
tery charges and performs internal checks sending
out acoustical and optical warning signals in case of
a detected fault.
The new tools feature an integrated pressure sen-
sor which automatically identi
fi
es the achieved crim-
ping force during every crimping operation. If a de-
viation 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 ac-
tivating the trigger. It automatically switches off 10
sec. after releasing 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 ope-
ration the tool is always ready to operate. In addition
we see a lower power weight ratio with 50% more
capacity and shorter charging cycles compared to
NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is particularly environmen-
tally friendly and and has been rewarded „
The Blue
Angel
“. The oil is also suitable for low temperatures
and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
3.3 Description of the tool indication
This tool is equipped with a special circuit board incorpo-
rating several important features to inform the user about
the current status of the unit. Please see Table 1 for more
details.

4. Remarks in respect of the
determined use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must
be safeguarded that there are no live parts in the immedi-
ate assembly area of the user. If this not possible special
precaution measures (see EN 50110-1) for working near
live parts must be provided. The tool is also available as an
...-INS with an insulated head which is specially designed
for working near live lines.
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Do not use this
tool when you are tired, on drugs, had alcohol or if you
are medicated.
4.1 Operation of the unit
First you have to select the right dies for the intended ap-
plication (see table 2).
Attention
Don’t operate the tool without dies.
Attention
The crimping process can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
4.2 Explanation of the application range
The tool has a large number of various dies available to
crimp Klauke connecting material (Table 2).
Attention
Do only crimp those connecting materials men-
tioned in Table 2.
If different conducting materials have to be crimped, ple-
ase contact the manufacturer.
Attention
Do not crimp on live cables or conduc-
tors.
The hand held tool is not supposed to be restrained in a
vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary appli-
cation. Complying certain conditions the unit can be ope-
rated stationary with our presentation support EKST-L.
The conditions can be taken from the instruction manual
of the EKST-L.
The tool is not designed for continued crimping opera-
tions. After a sequence of approximately 30-40 completed
crimps you have to make a break of 15 min. to give the
tool time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for
the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks
can occur which might ignite highly in
fl
ammab-
le or explosive liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic crimping tools should not be
operated in pouring rain or under water.
