IT2000-AB
1/4” Junior
® Tool
The standard IT2000 shipping container includes: Air Controller
Module, IT2000 tool body, coiled air line, owner’s manual and tool kit.
(tools with packaging option 1 include the tool and manual only)
Setting the Tool Air Pressure
The tension pressure directly affects the force applied to the clamp.
To correctly set the air pressure from the air controller module going to the tool, hook up
the air supply to the tool. Activate the tool by depressing the trigger for a few seconds. Re-
read the pressure when the tool is at rest and adjust again if necessary. Repeat until the
desired pressure is shown on the tension pressure gauge.
Tension pressure may need to be adjusted depending on the application.
Initial Setup - Pneumatics
•
Connect the tool body to the Air Controller Module using the included Coiled Hose
Assembly. The hose assembly includes both a clear and black hose. Each hose
end includes a female and male fitting, arranged to prevent reversing of
connections.
•
Connect Air Controller Module to air source (insure air supply meets requirements
on page 4) and turn RED Shut-Off Valve counter clockwise to pressurize tool
(“SUP” position).
• Cut-off Pressure: 105 PSI (760 kPa) recommended. Make sure the Cut-Off
Pressure Gauge located on the left side of the module reads a pressure of
100 PSI min and 110 PSI max.
•
Tension Pressure: 90 PSI (620 kPa) recommended. The Tension Pressure
Gauge monitors the tension applied to the clamp tail. Recommended air pressure
at the Tension Gauge should be 60-100 PSI (410-690 kPa).
•
Caution: Tension pressures above 100 PSI (690 kPa) may cause premature
clamp failure and/or tool wear.
Pressure conversion: bar = kPa / 100
