Calibration
BAND-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 flip 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 M28090 calibration device at the tool’s
regular location. This will ensure that the data represents the performance of the tool
under normal operating conditions.
Once the M28090 is attached to the tool, hook up the air supply and actuate the trigger.
The M28090 will then display the tension force in the tool. The target tension force of
this calibration is 351 lbf, so the Tension Air Pressure of the Air Controller Module will
have to be adjusted (ensuring it remains within 60 to 75 psi) between tool cycles until
the target of 351 lbf is achieved. The tool may have to be reset and actuated several
times before the target point is reached.
