XIT6000-CA
3/8” Tie-Lok ® Tool
Setup &
Assembly
Instructions
The XIT6000-CA shipping container includes: Air Controller Module,
XIT6000-CA tool body, coiled air line, owner’s manual, tool kit and
Tension Cylinder Pressure Monitoring Device kit.
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 (assure air supply meets
requirements on page 7) and turn RED Shut-off Valve counter clockwise to
pressurize tool (supply position).
• Make sure Cut-off Air Pressure Gauge located on the left side of the module
reads a pressure of 100 PSI min/ 110 PSI max.
• The Tension Air Pressure Gauge monitors the tension applied to the clamp tail.
Air pressure at the Tension Gauge should be 60-75 PSI for BAND-IT 3/8” Tie-
Lok
® Ties.
Initial Setup – Electronics
Refer to pages 30- 36 of this manual for setup and operating instructions for the
Tension Cylinder Pressure Monitoring System.
Setting the Tool Air Pressure
The air pressure supplied to the XIT6000-CA tool should be adjusted so that the output
force of the tool falls between 333-368 lbs. To correctly set the air pressure from the air
controller module going to the tool, attach the calibration device (page 37) and hook up the
air supply. Activate the tool by depressing the trigger. When the tool stops moving, read
the display on the calibration device. If the force on the readout is not within the Ford
Engineering Specification of 333-368 lbs, adjust the tension air pressure between 60-85 psi
and repeat this test until the force is within range. Press the tool reset button to release the
force and remove the calibration device. If the tool cannot be adjusted into this range by
varying the pressure between 60-75 psi, then the tool is either out of calibration or is not
working properly and should be returned to BAND-IT.
