5/16” Band-Lok
Tool
IT4000 Configured for Remote Actuation:
• The IT4000 with trigger option 1 and is a modified version of the base unit. A tool with trigger option 0 is
manually operated via the incorporated thumb actuation lever. A tool with trigger option 1 is configured to
allow remote operation via palm button or other device permitting the tool to be incorporated into the
customer’s fixture or assembly process. Band-It offers a Foot Control Kit (I17490) for this purpose.
• The modification consists of deactivating the thumb lever actuation switch and installing two 6- ft X 1/8”
O.D. hoses to accomplish the same task via the use of a remote actuation device such as a palm button
or other device that can provide a pneumatic signal to pilot the tension control valve.
• Various actuation devices can be incorporated based upon end user requirements. Basic schematic for 2-
way & 3-way valves included below. The valve should be set up in the normally closed mode and upon
opening the circuit a supply of air is provided.
• The customer is responsible for incorporating this tool into their process, BAND-IT is available to provide
advice and recommendations.
