Only use a REMS rapid charger for charging. New Li-Ion batteries and Li-Ion
batteries which have not been used for a long time only reach full capacity after
several charges. Non-rechargeable batteries may not be charged.
Battery charging status check for all Li-Ion cordless presses
All REMS cordless presses made as of 2011-01-01 are equipped with an
electronic battery charging status check with battery charge indication by a
2-coloured green/red LED (23). The LED lights green when the battery is fully
or still suffi ciently charged. The LED lights red when the battery must be charged.
If this condition occurs during pressing and the pressing process is not fi nished,
the pressing must be completed with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. If the drive
unit is not used, the LED goes out after approx. 2 hours but comes on again
when the drive unit is switched back on.
Graduated charging level indicator (28) of the Li-Ion 21.6 V battery
The graduated charging level indicator shows the charging level of the battery
with 4 LEDs. At least one LED lights for a few seconds after pressing the key
with the battery symbol. The more LEDs that light green, the higher the charging
level of the battery. If a LED fl ashes red, the battery must be recharged.
Rapid charger Li-Ion/NiCd and rapid charger Li-Ion (Art. No. 571560 and
571575)
The left control lamp lights up and remains green when the mains plug is
plugged in. If a battery is inserted in the rapid charger, the green control lamp
fl ashes to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light stops fl ashing
and remains on to signal that the battery is fully charged. If the red control lamp
fl ashes, the battery is defective. If the red control lamp comes on and remains
on, this indicates that the temperature of the rapid charger and / or the battery
is outside the permissible operating range of the rapid charger of 0°C to +40°C.
NOTICE
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.
2.2. Installing (changing) the pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini (Fig. 1 (1)),
pressing tongs (4G) (Fig. 15), pressing tongs (S) (Fig. 16), the pressing
ring (PR-3S) with adapter tongs (Fig. 17), the pressing ring (PR-3B) with
adapter tongs (Fig. 18), the pressing ring 45° (PR-2B) with adapter tongs
(Fig. 19) in radial presses
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use pressing tongs, pressing
tongs Mini or pressing rings with system-specifi c pressing contour according
to the pressfi tting system to be pressed. Pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini
or pressing rings have letters on the pressing jaws or pressing segments to
identify the pressing contour and a number to identify the size. The adapter
tongs are marked by the letter Z and a number which serves for assignment
to the permissible pressing ring which carries the same identifi cation. The
pressing ring 45° (PR-2B) may only be applied at at angle of 45° to the adapter
tongs Z1/adapter tongs Mini Z1 (Fig. 19). Read and observe the installation
and assembly instructions of the manufacturer/supplier of the press fi tting
system to be pressed. Never use non-matching pressing tongs, pressing tongs
Mini, pressing ring, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini (pressing contour,
size). The press joint could be rendered useless and the machine and pressing
tongs, pressing tongs Mini, pressing ring, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini
could be damaged.
It is best to place the drive machine on a bench or on the fl oor. The rotary sleeve
(Fig. 20 (27)) of REMS Power-Press XL ACC must be positioned according to
the pressing tongs/adapter tongs being used. To use the adapter tongs Z6 XL,
the rotary sleeve (27) must be turned until it snaps in so that the slit of the drive
housing is not covered. For all other pressing tongs/adapter tongs, turn the
rotary sleeve (27) until it snaps in so that it covers the slit of the drive housing.
The pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini
can only be installed (changed) when the press rollers (5) are fully retracted.
On REMS Power-Press SE push the rotation direction lever (7) to the left and
actuate the safety inching switch (8) if necessary, on REMS Mini-Press ACC,
REMS Mini-Press 22 V ACC / REMS Mini-Press S 22 V ACC / REMS Power-
Press / Power-Press ACC / Power-Press XL ACC and REMS Akku-Press /
Akku-Press ACC, press the reset button (13), until the press rollers (5) have
moved right back.
CAUTION
Always position the rotary sleeve (27) according to the pressing tongs/adapter
tongs being used until these snap in, danger of crushing!
Open the tongs retaining bolt (2). To do this, press the locking pin/bolt (4) and
the tongs retaining bolt (2) springs out. Insert the chosen pressing tongs, Mini
pressing tongs (1), adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini (19). Push the tongs
retaining bolt (2) forward until the locking pin/bolt (4) snaps in. At the same
time, press down the pressure plate/button (3) directly over the tongs retaining
bolt (2). Do not start radial presses without pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini
or pressing ring with adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini inserted. Only start
the pressing process to make a press joint. Without pressing counterpressure
by the press fi tting the drive machine or pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini,
pressing ring, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini will be exposed to unnec-
essarily high stress.

CAUTION
Never press when the tong retainer bolt (2) is unlocked. Risk of fracture,
fl ying parts can cause serious injuries!
2.3. Installing (changing) the pressing heads (14) in axial presses (Figs. 10,
11)
Remove the battery. Only use system-specifi c pressing heads. REMS press ing
heads have a letter to identify the compression sleeve system and a number
to identify the size. Read and observe the installation and assembly instructions
of the manufacturer/supplier of the used compression sleeve system. Never
use non-matching pressing heads (compression sleeve system, size) for
pressing work. The press joint could be unserviceable, and both the machine
and the press ing heads might be damaged.
Push the selected pressing heads (14) right in, if necessary turning them until
they engage (ball catch). Keep the pressing heads and locating hole inside the
pressing device clean.
2.4. Installing (changing) the expanding head (16) in REMS Akku-Ex-Press
Q & E ACC and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC (Fig. 9)
Pull out the mains plug. Only use genuine expanding heads for Uponor Quick
& Easy. Read and observe the installation and assembly instructions of the
manufacturer/supplier of the used system. Never use non-matching expanding
heads (system, size) for expansion work. The joint could be unserviceable, and
both the machine and the expanding heads might be damaged. Grease the
cone of the expanding mandrel (18) lightly. Screw the selected expanding head
as far as it will go onto the expander. Read and observe the installation and
assembly instructions of the manufacturer/supplier of the used system. REMS
P and Cu expanding heads are unsuitable for the REMS Power-Ex-Press Q &
E ACC and may therefore not be used..
Changing the expanding device on the REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC
Pull out the mains plug. Unscrew the expanding device (15) from the REMS
Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC. Screw on the selected expander as far as it will
go and tighten by hand.
2.5. Assembly (changing) of the expander (15), the expanding head (16) on
REMS Akku-Ex-Press 22 V ACC (Fig. 8)
Choose an expander (15) to match the expanding head (16). Use the expander
Cu for the REMS Cu expanding heads. Use the expander P for the REMS P
expanding heads. Only use system-specifi c expanding heads. REMS P expanding
heads are labelled with letters to identify the compression sleeve system and
a number to identify the size, REMS Cu expanding heads only with a number
to identify the size. The expanding heads of the Uponor systems Quick & Easy
and Giacomini GX fi t the Q & E expander. Read and observe the installation
and assembly instructions of the manufacturer/supplier of the used system.
Never expand with an unsuitable expander, unsuitable expanding heads (system,
size). The joint could be useless and the machine and expanding heads could
be damaged. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel (18) lightly. Screw
the selected expanding head onto the expanding device (15) to the stop. The
expanding device must now be set so that the thrust of the drive machine is
taken up by the drive machine and not the expanding head at the end of the
expanding. Unscrew the expanding device (15) complete with screwed on
expanding head from the drive machine for this. Let the feed piston run forward
as far as possible without the machine switching into reverse. In this position
the expander with screwed-on expanding head must be screwed onto the drive
unit until the expanding jaws (17) of the expanding head (16) are fully open.
The expanding head must be secured with the locking nut (24) in this position.
NOTICE
Make sure that the compression sleeve is far enough away from the expanding
head (16) in the expanding process because otherwise the expanding jaws
(17) can bend or break.

3. Operation

CAUTION
After the drive unit has been in storage for a long period of time, the overpres-
sure valve must be actuated fi rst by pressing the reset button (13) before putting
back into operation. If it is stuck or stiff, it may not be pressed. The drive unit
must be handed over to an authorized REMS customer service workshop for
inspection.
3.1. Radial presses (Figs. 1 to 7 and 15 to 19)
The pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs, pressing ring, adapter tongs and Mini
adapter tongs, especially the pressing contour (11, 22) of the pressing jaws
(10) or all 3 pressing segments (21) must be checked for damage and wear
before every use. Damaged or worn pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs,
pressing rings, adapter tongs and Mini adapter tongs may no longer be used.
There is otherwise a risk of incorrect pressing or accidents.
A trial pressing with inserted press fi tting must be made with the drive unit and
the respectively used pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs and the respectively
used pressing ring with adapter tongs or Mini adapter tongs before every use.
The pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs (1), the pressing ring (20) with adapter
tongs or Mini adapter tongs must fi t into the drive unit mechanically and be
properly lockable. After completing the pressing check that the pressing jaws
(10), pressing rings (20), pressing segments (21) close fully both at their tip
(Fig. 1 and Fig. 15 to 19 at "A") and on the opposite side (Fig. 1 and Fig. 15 to
19 at "B"). Check the tightness of the connection (observe national specifi ca-
tions, standards, regulations, etc.)
