1. Introduction
Before starting to use the tool please read the
instruction manual carefully.
Use this tool exclusively for its determined use.
Mounting and assembly of connecting material with the help of
this tool must only be performed by specially trained personnel.
The minimum age is 16 years.
This instruction manual has to be carried along during the entire
life span of that tool.
The operator has
- to guaranty the availability of the instruction manual for the user
and

instruction manual.
2. Labels
On the labels fixed on the housing of the tool you'll find the type
specification name of the manufacturer and the company logo. On
the opposite side of the housing you'll find a label with a brief
presentation of the scope of manageable cross-sections for copper
and aluminium and the pressing force. The serial number is on the
hydraulic cylinder between the housing and the crimping head. On
the crimping head you'll find a warning against possible injuries
during the crimping process and against crimping errors.
3. Warranty
If correct operation is guaranteed our warranty is 12 months from
the time of delivery.

4.2. Brief description of the important features of the unit
- The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retraction which returns
the indenters into its starting position when the maximum operating
pressure is reached.
- The unit is equipped with a special brake which stops the forward
motion of the indenters when the trigger (Pos.-No. 1) is released.
- The unit is equipped with a double piston pump which is characterised
by a rapid approach of the indenters (Pos.-No. 4) towards the
connector and a slow crimping motion.
- 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 head incorporates guiding mechanism, respectively
centering pins, which provide an automatic centering of the
connecting material in the crimping head.
- The EK 60 VP INS is equipped with a microprocessor which indicated
service intervals, internal checks and low battery charges. It also shuts
off the motor automatically after the crimp is completed.
4.3. Description of the light diode display
This tool is equipped with a special circuit board incorporating several
important features to inform the user about the current status of the unit.
The diode (Pos.-No. 6) signals in the following cases:

and flashing

Remarks:
- Does the diode signal periodically at the end of a working cycle for
approx. 20 sec the unit must be returned to an authorised Service Center
for Service as soon as possible.
In case of an error the light diode display also signals periodically at the
-
end of a working cycle. The signal indicates in this case the circuit opening
by the electronic fuse. A possible reason for that is that a cycle was
performed with an incorrectly low battery. If the signal occurs even after
changing the battery there must be a different error or a service is due. In
these cases the tool must be returned to the manufacturer or an authorised
service center.
