5/16” Band-Lok
Tool
The standard IT4000 shipping container includes: Air Controller
Module, IT4000 tool body, coiled air line, owner’s manual and tool kit.
(tools with packaging option 1 include the tool and manual only)
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: 110 PSI recommended. Make sure the Cut-off Pressure
Gauge located on the left side of the module reads a pressure of 110 PSI min and
115 PSI max..
•
Tension Pressure: 70 PSI recommended. The Tension Pressure Gauge
monitors the tension applied to the clamp tail. Recommended air pressure at the
Tension Gauge should be 50-70 PSI for BAND-
IT 5/16” Band-Lok ties.
•
Caution: Tension pressures above 70 PSI 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.
