4.2. Brief description of the important features of the unit

- The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retraction which returns
the piston into its starting position when the required maximum force
is reached.
- The unit is equipped with a special brake which stops the forward
motion of the piston when the trigger (Pos.-No. 1) is released.
- The unit is equipped with a double piston pump which is
characterised by a rapid approach of the crimping/cutting dies (Pos.-
No. 4+10, chart 2) towards the connector and a slow working
motion.
- The head can be smoothly turned by 360° around the longitudinal
axis in order to gain better access to tight corners and other difficult
working areas.
- The unit is equipped with a microprocessor which indicates service
intervals, internal checks and low battery charges. It also shuts off
the motor automatically after a crimping cycle is completed.
- Compatability to all common crimping dies (60kN) by using special
adapters
- Use of special dies and adapters including customer specific die
designs.

4.3. Description of the light diode display

This tool is equipped with a special circuit board incorporating several
important features to inform the user about the current status of the
unit. The diode (Pos.-No. 6) signals in the following cases:
Signal Duration
a few seconds of
flashing
glowing for
20 seconds
flashing for
1
20 seconds (2Hz)
flashing for
2
20 seconds (5Hz)
20 sec. glowing
and flashing
intermittently

Remarks:
- Does the diode signal periodically at the end of a working cycle for
approx. 20 sec the unit must be returned to an authorised Service Center
for Service as soon as possible.
- In case of an error the light diode display also signals periodically at the
end of a working cycle. The signal indicates in this case the circuit
opening by the electronic fuse. A possible reason for that is that a cycle
was performed with an incorrectly low battery. If the signal occurs even
after changing the battery there must be a different error or a service is
due. In these cases the tool must be returned to the manufacturer or an
authorised service center.
The unit switches off when it gets too hot. It switches on automatically

5. 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 immediate assembly area of the user. Is
this not possible special precaution measures
must be provided.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery (Pos.-No. 7)
2
should have been tested . A low charging level can be detected by the
flashing of the LED (Pos.-No. 6) for 20 s at the end of a crimping cycle.

5.1. Operation of the unit

First you have to select the right adapter for the type of dies (Pos.-No. 4,
10) you intend to use respectively the cutting blades. Afterwards the
head has to be opened by unhooking the latch (Pos.-No. 3 & Picture 2
Pos. A).
The adapters will be inserted into the universal head. Please follow
pictures 8-13 vicariously for all adapters and dies. Please make sure that
the locking pins (Pos.-No. 11) are always fully engaged.
After having completely closed the universal head the crimping/cutting
procedure is initiated by actuating the trigger (Pos.-No. 1 & Picture 2
Pos. C). The working cycle is defined by the closing motion of the
dies/blades.
Attention
The crimping process can be interrupted at any moment
by releasing the trigger.
In case of error or emergency the dies/blades can be returned into the
starting position by actuating the retract button (Pos.-No. 2 & Picture 2
Pos. B).
The working cycle is terminated when either the crimping force is
reached or the cable/conductor, DIN rail, threaded rod is cut.
Afterwards a second working cycle can be initiated or the it can be
finished by opening the latch (Pos.-No. 3 & Picture 2 Pos. A).
Attention
After having terminated the working cycle and
prior to changing the dies/blades remove battery
to avoid unintended use.

5.1.1 Use of crimping dies

When using the 22 style dies (see picture 2) the retaining clips (Pos.-# 4)
have to be actuated (Picture 2 Pos. E) while the dies will be inserted
consequtively from the side into the head respectively the adapter.
The 18 style dies are inserted axially into the universal head,
respectively the adapter. The spring must be placed on the opposite side
of the latch.
During the crimping process the connecting material is positioned in the
stationary half of the die whereas the moving part of the die is
approaching the compression point
After having reached the maximum crimping force the dies return into
the starting position automatically.

5.1.2 Use of cutting dies

Three diffent types of cutting dies are available. The UC 26 is optimised
on copper and aluminium cables/conductors ≤ 26 mm ∅. The UC 40 can
cut all copper and aluminium cables/conductors < 40 mm ∅. The larger
cables/conductors show the best results respectively the least
deformations.
Attention
Do only cut copper and aluminium cables/conductors
with UC 26 and UC 40!
