The standard IT3000 shipping container includes: Air Controller

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 4) and turn RED Shut-off Valve counter clockwise to
pressurize tool (supply position).
•
Cut-off Pressure: 105 PSI 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: 70 PSI for 201 SS, and 60 PSI for 304 SS recommended.
The Tension Pressure Gauge monitors the tension applied to the clamp tail. Air
pressure at the Tension Gauge should be 60-80 PSI for BAND-
IT 201 SS. 1/4”
Universal clamps and 50-70 PSI for BAND- IT 304 SS. 1/4” Tie-Lok ties.
•
Caution: Tension pressures above the maximum stated may cause premature
clamp failure and/or tool wear.
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 gage.
Tension pressure may need to be adjusted depending on the application.
