3 2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 2.1 PREPARATION (Refer to Figs. 1, 2 & 3) The tool is supplied with the batteries completely discharged; before use, fully charge the batteries using the charger supplied. See section 3.0 The tool can be easily carried using either the handle or wrist strap, see Fig. 1. With the tool at rest, proceed as follows: Select the appropriate die set for the connector. (Ref: Check Thomas & Betts instruction sheet for the connector and make sure color code of die matches color code of connector.) Open the latch (25) and release the upper die holder (24). Insert one die into the upper die holder (24) and one die into the lower die support (27). Close the latch (25). Insert the conductor in the connector. Position the connector between the dies and ensure the correct location of the crimp. (See connector(s) instruction sheet for number of crimps.) Ensure that the latch and upper die holder are fully secured, otherwise damage may occur during tool operation. Fig WARNING When operating the tool never place hands or other body parts between the crimping dies DIE ADVANCEMENT (Refer to Fig. 3) Press the operating button (3) to activate the motorpump and advance the lower die. To halt the advancement, release the operating button (3) and the motor will stop. Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on desired crimp point, otherwise reopen dies following instructions as per Step 2.5 and reposition the connector. 2.4 HEAD ROTATION For ease of operation, the tool head can be rotated through 10º, allowing the operator to work in the most comfortable position. WARNING Do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurized. 2.5 RELEASE OF DIES (Refer to Fig. 3) By pressing the pressure release button (), the ram will retract and open the dies. 3 Fig COMPRESSION (Refer to Fig. 3) Continue pressing the operating button (3), the ram will gradually move forward until the two dies touch. Continue tool operation until the maximum pressure relief valve is activated and a click is heard. The dies will automatically open until the ram is fully retracted. To interrupt automatic retraction of the ram, quickly press the operating button (3). TA04492 B Page 3 of

4 3.0 BATTERY AND CHARGER USE The tool is supplied with the batteries completely discharged; before use, fully charge the batteries using the charger supplied After releasing the operating button, the residual battery capacity is automatically displayed for 5 seconds on the indicator (). The number of LEDs illuminated indicates the residual capacity: 6 LEDs illuminated: Fully Charged 3 LEDs illuminated: 50% capacity 1 LED illuminated: Minimum charge To replace the battery, press the two red buttons at the same time and slide the battery forward. LEDs Fig. 4 This tool is supplied with a battery charger CFC 120Y and adapter CBA96-144, which is required for 9.6V batteries (CB9620H). With the adapter removed, the same charger may be used with the 14.4 V Batteries common to other Thomas & Betts battery operated tools. For optimum battery life, please follow the rules: BATTERY STATUS (Refer to Fig. 4) GENERAL BATTERY & CHARGER USE Use the battery until the automatic residual energy display still has 1-2 red LEDs showing: this means the battery is almost completely discharged and no loss in the life of the battery has been produced. This is particularly important when charging a new battery the first 2-3 times in order to maximize the available energy level. Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature prior to recharging. Rest the battery charger for at least 15 minutes between charges. Back of Tool CHARGER SPECIFICATIONS Input Voltage Output Voltage Charging Current 2.4A Trickle Charge Weight Fig. 5 BATTERY ADAPTER V~50-60Hz V 60mA 1.1 lbs. 3.3 OPERATING LOCATIONS The chargers are designed for use in dry areas. All ventilation slots must be kept unobstructed. If possible, keep away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight as ambient temperatures in excess of 35 C may increase charging times considerably. AC SUPPLY CONNECTION Before connecting the charger, check that the AC-supply voltage and frequency are the same as those indicated on the charger. The charger is ready for operation when the power cord is connected to the live AC supply. PUTTING INTO SERVICE AND OPERATION Left-hand, red LED If the charger is connected to the AC supply and the left hand LED goes red, the charger is OK. If the left-hand LED is red and flashing the charger has a fault. Further charging is not possible. CHARGING PROCEDURE (See table on the right.) The battery charger checks the voltage, temperature, short-circuit and polarity of the batteries before charging. The safety elements (bi-metal strip or NTC resistor) are checked via the temperature contact. If the safety elements are OK, the right-hand LED goes green and the charging procedure commences. Charging state detection is a special feature of this charging method. If the right-hand led remains switched off, the internal circuit of the battery either is open or there is a condition of polarity inversion. (Continued on next page) BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION Red LED on Red LED flashing Green LED on Green LED flashing Red/green LED flashing Red LED on Red LED flashing LED, left-hand, red LED, right-hand, multi-coloured 100% Charger is connected to the supply and ready for operation Charger is defective Charging started Battery is full charged The power supply is less than 10,5 V (only for CFC12-24IC) Battery is defective Battery is too hot or too cold TA04492 B Page 4 of

5 (Continued) Green flashing (right-hand LED): The battery is fully charged and the charger automatically switches over to the tricklecharge mode. The battery can be left indefinitely in the charger without sustaining any damage. Overcharging is impossible. Red flashing (right-hand LED): The safety elements are defective or the battery is too hot or too cold. The battery should be removed from the charger so that it can return to its proper temperature range. Continuous red (right-hand LED): The battery is defective. CHARGING TIMES The following table lists the various charging times (the charging time depends on the depth of discharge). A new or seldom used battery will achieve full power after 5 charge/discharge cycles. Battery Type Nominal capacity (Ah) Maximum Charging Time CFC120V NI-Cd min NI-MH (CB9620H)* min NI-MH (CB9630H)* min NI-MH (CB1430H) min * To charge these batteries use the CBA adapter (Refer to Fig. 5) WARNING The left-hand LED flashes red to indicate a charger fault. A charger malfunction has occurred and it is not possible to continue charging. Do not use the charger to charge other batteries. If batteries are new or have not been used for some time, it is quite likely that they will not reach their nominal capacity. This is not a fault and is normal under these circumstances. Full capacity will be reached after about the 5 charge/discharge cycles. The charger monitors the battery-pack temperature. Batteries with temperatures above 65 C or below 5 C will not be charged. The charger is designed to charge both Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries: with Ni-MH batteries a more noticeable heating of the cells will occur. This is not a fault. 4.0 MAINTENANCE The tool is completely sealed, and requires very little daily maintenance. Compliance with the following recommendations, should help to maintain the optimum performance of the tool: 4.1 THOROUGH CLEANING Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. After every use, the tool must be wiped with a clean cloth taking care to remove any residue, especially close to moveable parts. 4.2 When not in use, the tool should be stored and transported in the plastic case to prevent damage. This case is suitable for storing the tool, the accessories, and die sets. Plastic Case: size 1.3x12.4x4.56 inches, (465x315x6 mm) weighs 3.3lbs. (1,5 kg).
