Instruction Manual
EK 60UNV-L
The compact ergonomically formed design consists
2K
of 2 components. The grip area is rubber coated
and therefore slip resistent. The housing design is
optimized in respect of the center of gravity which
improves the handling and supports fatique-proof
working.
Li-Ion batteries do neither have a memory effect nor
self discharge. Even after long periods of non ope-
ration the tool is always ready to operate. In addition
we see a lower power weight ratio with 50% more
capacity and shorter charging cycles compared to
NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is particularly environmen-
tally friendly and and has been rewarded
Angel". The oil is also suitable for low temperatures
and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
Compatability to all common crimping dies (60 kN)
by using special adapters.
Use of special dies and adapters including custo-
mer specifi c die designs.

3.3 Description of the tool indication

This tool is equipped with a special circuit board incorpo-
rating several important features to inform the user about
the current status of the unit. Please see Table 1 for more
details.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery
(pic. 1.2) should have been tested2. A low charging level
can be detected by the fl ashing of the LED (pic. 1.1) for
20 s at the end of a crimping cycle.
4. Remarks in respect of the determi-
ned use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must
be safeguarded that there are no live parts in the immedi-
ate assembly area of the user. If this not possible special
precaution measures1 for working near live parts must
be provided.

4.1 Operation of the unit

First you have to select the right adapter for the type of
dies you intend to use respectively the cutting blades.
Attention
The crimping process can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
In case of error or emergency the dies/blades can be re-
turned into the starting position by actuating the retract
button (pic. 1.4).
The working cycle is terminated when either the crimping
force is reached or the cable/conductor (pic. 26, 28, 30),
DIN rail, threaded rod is cut.
Afterwards a second working cycle can be initiated or the
it can be fi nished by opening the latch (pic. 1.7).
Attention
After having terminated the working cycle
and prior to changing the dies/blades re-
move battery to avoid unintended use.

4.1.1 Use of crimping dies
When using the 22 style dies (see tab 2 and 3) the retai-
ning clips have to be actuated while the dies will be inser-
ted consequtively from the side into the head respectively
the adapter (see pic. 19).
During the crimping process the connecting material is
positioned in the stationary half of the die whereas the
moving part of the die is approaching the compression
point3.
After having reached the maximum crimping force the
dies return into the starting position automatically.
4.1.2 Use of cutting dies
Three diffent types of cutting dies are available (pic. 26,
„The Blue
28, 30). The UC 26 is optimised on copper and alumini-
um cables/conductors ≤ 26 mm Ø. The UC 40 can cut
all copper and aluminium cables/conductors < 40 mm Ø.
The larger cables/conductors show the best results res-
pectively the least deformations.
Attention
Do only cut copper and aluminium cables/con-
ductors with UC 26 and UC 40!
For cutting ACSR conductors you must only use the
UCACSR cutting blades.
Attention
Fractions of reenforced steel conductors can be propelled
towards the operator with high speed and could cause
severe injuries.
When cutting threaded rods they must be in a right angle
to the cutting blades to provide a clean cut. The threa-
ded rods must be cleaned of chips prior to cutting. The
cutting cycle should be proceeded until the blades have
reached their fi nal position in order to provide clean cut-
ting edges.
The DIN rail cutting dies are equipped with a sheet metal
guide which facilitate a cut in a right angle.
When the cut is completed the retraction is provided by
actuating the retract button (pic. 1.4) once.

4.1.3 Use of the punch adapter

The advance (penetration) of the punch into the die must
be observed carefully. As soon as the sheet metal is pun-
ched the punching cycle must be terminated by releasing
the trigger (pic. 1.3).
The retraction is provided by actuating the retract button
(pic. 1.4) once.
Attention
If the punching cycle is not terminated after the
sheet metal is punched the punch will contact
the die which might result in fracture of one or
the other.
Cutting ACSR conductors or steel fortifi ed
cables do always wear safety glasses.
