Instruction Manual Crimping Tool
EK 15/50-L / EK 15/50G-L
3.2 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
maximum operating pressure is reached.
A manual retraction allows the user to return the piston into the starting position in case of an incorrect crimp.
The tool have a pre-crimping device which clamps the connectors fi rst before actually crimping it. This allows the
installer to interrupt the crimping cycle to re-position the connector, respectively make necessary corrections.
The unit is equipped with a special brake which stops the forward motion of the piston/dies when the trigger is re-
leased.
The crimping head can be smoothly turned by 350° around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better access to tight
corners and other diffi 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 battery charges.
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.
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
2K
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
Blue
Angel". The oil is suitable for low temperatures and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
