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 force is reached.
The unit is equipped with a special brake which stops the forward motion of the piston/dies when the trigger
(pic. 3, 7) is released.
The tool incorporates an LED display to indicate the battery capacity and service intervals.
The EK15/50 and EK15/50G 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.
Enable wide spread Klauke dies, which are used in the following tools:
The crimping head can be smoothly turned by 345° around the longitudinal axis in order to gain better access to
tight corners and other diffi cult working areas. (pic. 17+29)
The tool is very light weight and provides a good handling through an ergonomic design.
