4.2. Description of the operation- and control functions
A crimping process will be initiated by pressing the
trigger (Pos.-No. 1) after having released the trigger lock
(Pos.-No. 8). The unit is supplied with a special brake
which stops the forward motion of the piston after having
released the trigger.
Push retract button to return the piston into starting
position.
Please see chapter 4.4 for more information on the light
diode display.
4.3. Description of the crimping processes
The crimping process is defined by the closing motion of the dies. During that 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. The crimping 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 crimping process is terminated when the dies contact each other. This is indicated by an
acoustic signal, a „pop“, which signals that the high pressure valve has opened and that the
maximum operating pressure has been reached. If that signal should not occur the unit must
be checked according to chapter 6. The EK 22 is equipped with a microprocessor which shuts
off the motor automatically after the acoustic signal occurred.
After pressing the retract button the dies return to the starting position. Afterwards a second
crimping cycle can be initiated or the crimping process can be terminated by opening the
latch (Pos.-No.3)
4.4. Description of the light diode display
This tool is equipped with a electronic controller with several important features to inform the
user about the current status of the unit.
These diode signals in the following cases:
- The diode will signal periodically a few times while the battery is being inserted into the
tool. This indicates that the electronic circuitboard performed its self-test successfully.
- If the diode signals continuously after a crimping cycle for approx. 20 sec. the battery is
discharged and must be recharged again.
- Does the diode signal periodically at the end of a crimping cycle for approx. 20 sec the
unit must be returned to an authorised Service Center for Service as soon as possible.
