IT’s use of the word calibration refers to the tool’s electronic output being
checked against a load measuring device. This is to insure that the electronic
calculation of the output force based on the supply pressure is still matched up with
the actual output force of the tool. To measure the actual output of the tool, BAND-IT
has developed a Calibration Device (M28090). Call BAND-IT for more information.
The Calibration Device is installed onto the tool in place of the maintenance cover.
The tension block of the tool presses up against the load cell on the calibration device
when the trigger of the tool is depressed, allowing the tension force to be captured.
The force is displayed on the readout. The direction of the tension force is shown by
the white arrow. See the M28090 manual for further information.

To check the calibration of the tool, attach the calibration device, hook up the air supply
and actuate the trigger. Read the display once the tool stops moving. If the M28090
calibration device varies from the calculated force output from the data acquisition
system by more than 15 lbs, the tool needs to be sent to BAND-IT-IDEX, Inc. for repair.
Press the tool reset button to release the force and remove the calibration device. Be
sure to clean and lubricate the maintenance cover before reinstalling the cover on the
tool and inserting the Quick Release Pins shown on page 7.
