______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Remarks in respect of the determined use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must be
safeguarded that special precaution measures
on live parts is provided and all applicable national laws and safety
standards to protect the user against electrical shock are fully
complied.
Attention:
In accordance with EN 50110-1 this tool is only
partially insulated. Therefore for live line working
please refer to local operating procedures.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery (Pos.-
No. 7) should have been tested
detected by the flashing of the LED (Pos.-No. 6) for 20 s at the end
of a crimping cycle.
5.1. Operation of the unit
The connecting material must be positioned right in the center of
the four indenters (Pos.-No. 4).
Attention
If the connector is crimped in an out-of-center
position the crimping head can damaged.
The crimping procedure is initiated by actuating the trigger (Pos.-
No. 1 & Picture 2 Pos. C). The crimping process is defined by the
closing motion of the indenters (Pos.-No. 4).
The crimping process is terminated when the crimping force is
reached. After having completed the crimp the indenters (Pos.-No.
4) return into the starting position automatically.
Attention
Keep Hands and fingers away from
approaching, resp. closing, indentors.
In case of error or emergency the indenters (Pos.-No. 4) can be
returned into the starting position by actuating the retract button
(Pos.-No. 2 & Picture 2 Pos. B).
Attention
The crimping process can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
5.2. Explanation of the application range
Our electric hydraulic crimping unit is a dieless crimper supplied
with four indenters (Pos.-No. 4) to crimp primarily CCL copper
and aluminium cable lugs and connectors.

For other applications please contact your service partner.
Abbreviation: TCL – Tubular cable lugs
Attention
Do only crimp those connecting materials
mentioned in Tab. 2
If different conducting materials have to be crimped, please
contact the manufacturer.
The EK 60 VP CCL is a hand held tool and it is not supposed to be
restrained in a vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary
application.

The tool is not designed for continued crimping operations. After a
sequence of approximately 30-40 completed crimps you have to make a
break of 15 min. to give the tool time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks can occur
which might ignite highly inflammable or explosive
liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic crimping tools should not be operated
in pouring rain or under water.
5.3. Mounting instructions
In order to guaranty the required crimping force the user can order a
special go/no go gauge and test slugs. The slug must be centered in the
crimping head and crimped in axial direction. The difference in length
provides information about the actual crimping force of the tool. If the
slugs are too long or too short the tool must be re-adjusted (see picture
3).
Please read the assembly instructions in Chapter 12 of our general
catalogue.
5.4 Service and maintenance instruction
The electric-hydraulic crimping unit is equipped with a controller
enabling the user to see when the next service is due. (Pls. read chapter
4.3 for more information) When the next service is due the unit must be
returned to an CCL service center.
For every day service the unit has to be cleaned and dried after each use.
The battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) and the charging unit have to be
protected against humidity and dust.
Within the determined use of the tool only the batteries (Pos.-No. 7) are
permitted to be changed by the customers.
Attention
Do not damage the seals of the tool.
If the seals are damaged the warranty is invalidated.
In order to check the required crimping force of the tool use our
measuring adapter (Part.-No. MAVP) with our digital meter TC 1 to
determine the exact actual crimping force.
5.5 Remarks on the use of the battery cartridge and charging unit.
The charging unit is run with a nominal voltage of 230 V and a
frequency of 50-60 Hz. New batteries must be charged prior to use. To
charge the battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) the power plug of the charging
unit has to be plugged into the power supply and the battery cartridge
has to be pushed into the charging unit. The charging time is one hour.
The charging level of the battery cartridge can be checked by a LED
green
battery cartridge is charged
red
Battery cartridge is empty and is just being charged
flashing
battery cartridge is not pushed in properly or too hot,
a sound signal occurs
Is the battery plugged in correctly the LED changes from green to red
and the charging procedure starts. When the charging procedure is
terminated the LED changes again to green. Simultaneously a signal
occurs for 5 seconds.
No other battery cartridges e.g. dry batteries or car batteries etc. are
permitted to be used neither in the tool nor in the charging unit.
As soon as the speed of the machine decreases noticeably the battery
must be recharged. Do not recharge a partially discharged battery as a
precaution.

The charging level of the battery can also be verified by the LED of the
tool at the end of a crimping cycle. See chapter 4.3 for further information.
