NOTE: Any substitution may cause serious damage to the system and/or injury to the operator. PAT1M / PAT1.5M TOOLS The PAT1M and PAT1.5M Cable Tie Installation Tools are electrically powered and controlled by the PDM Dispenser. Designed for easy operation: hand held, lightweight, and right or left hand use. The tool jaws are normally open for easy positioning around wire harnesses and the jaws are closed by pulling up on the trigger before application of the cable tie.
PAT1M / PAT1.5M OPERATION MANUAL PDM DISPENSER The PDM Dispenser controls the PAT1M and PAT1.5M Tool operation. The dispenser has an electronic display that provides a step-by-step menu for feature selections and helps to identify errors to reduce downtime. The display also functions in conjunction with the audible alarm, providing the operator with the specific status of certain malfunctions, such as: Dispenser jam, Tie in hose, Tie in tool, etc.
PAT1M / PAT1.5M OPERATION MANUAL ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS PATMBM Bench Mount The PAT1M and PAT1.5M Tools can be mounted to the PATMBM Bench Mount to perform hands-free, foot pedal actuation of the reel-fed PAT1M/PAT1.5M System. PL283N1 Filter/Regulator A filter/regulator with a 40 micron maximum element rating must be used to supply the PDM Dispenser with clean air and to ensure proper air pressure regulation.
The proper components for service and repair may be obtained from Panduit Corporation, Tool Division. The product may also be returned to Panduit Corporation, Tool Division for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained (Subject to the provisions of the PANDUIT service agreement).

3. Is the PDM Dispenser loaded properly? (Refer to the Loading Procedure section on Pages 7-9.) 4. Is the PHM Feeder Hose securely connected to the PAT1M or PAT1.5M Tool, and PDM Dispenser? (Refer to the Loading Procedure section on Pages 7-9.) 5.
• Dress the wires to result in a compact bundle; .82" (21 mm) in diameter or less for the PAT1M Tool, and 1.31" (33 mm) in diameter or less for the PAT1.5M Tool. This will prevent loose cable ties or cable ties that do not stay on the bundle.
TIP COLLECTOR The PAT1M and PAT1.5M Tools are provided with a tip collector to collect a maximum of 180 cable tie cutoff tips (See Figure 5 on Page 15). The tip collector must be emptied before it reaches its capacity.
Greater or lesser tensions will not result, and tool may be damaged. ERROR MESSAGES The operator is constantly informed of the PAT1M/PAT1.5M System's status by the PDM Dispenser's electronic display, such as: "Waiting on tie". If the system fails due to operator error or dispenser malfunction, the operator is alerted that an error has occurred by two (2) types of signals: a buzzer signal (audible) and the dispenser display (visual).
