RIDGID 4P-6 4PIN Manuals

WARNING Read and understand these instructions, the electrical tool instruc- tions, the instructions for the connector to be crimped and the warn- ings and instructions for all equipment and material being used before operating this tool to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! • Keep your fingers and hands away from the crimp head during the crimping cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, frac- tured or amputated if they are caught between the indenters or these components and any other object. • Do not use on energized electrical lines to reduce the risk of electrical shock, severe injury and death. Tool is not insulated. Use appropriate work procedures and personal protective equip- ment when working near energized electrical lines. • Large forces are generated during product use that can break or throw parts and cause injury. Stand clear during use and wear appropriate protective equipment, including eye protection. • Never repair a damaged head. A head that has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner can break during use. Never replace individual components. Discard damaged heads to reduce the risk of injury. • Use proper tool, connector and cable combination. Improper combinations can result in an incomplete or improper crimp which in- creases the risk of fire, severe injury or death. Description The RIDGID® 4P-6 4PIN Dieless Crimp Head Tool is designed to crimp electrical compression connectors to their respective wires. The tool is available either as an interchangeable head (For RIDGID® RE 6/RE 60 or ILSCO Electrical Tool) or as part of a dedicated tool (RIDGID® RE-600 series tools). The Crimp Head can rotate 360 degrees. It includes a special quick acting latching system. Figure 1 – 4P-6 4PIN Dieless Crimp Head (interchangeable version) Specification Max.

QCS Coupling Type............................6T QCS and 60kN QCS Tool Input Force..................................60kN (6-ton) (13,500 lbs) Interchangeable Head Weight ..........5.8 lb (2.6 kg) Inspection/Maintenance Inspect the Crimp Head before each use for issues that could affect safe use. 1. Remove battery from electrical tool. 2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool and head, including han- dles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the ma- chine from slipping from your grip. 3. Inspect the head for: • Proper assembly and completeness. • Wear, corrosion or other damage. Make sure that the latch works properly and securely closes. • Presence and readability of head markings. • See electrical tool manual for inspection and maintenance of the QCS coupling. If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected. 4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as directed in their instructions. 5. Lubricate the head pivot points with a light weight general pur- pose lubricating oil. Wipe off any excess oil. Set-Up/Operation 1. Prepare the connection to be crimped per the connector manu- facturer’s instructions. 2. Choose the appropriate crimp equipment for the application per their specifications. Make sure all equipment is inspected and set up per its instructions. 3. Changing Heads with QCS Coupling – See Electrical Tool manual. 4. With dry hands install the tool battery. 5. If needed, open the head by pushing the latch to the side and ro- tating out (Figure 2). Close the head around the connector to be crimped. Make sure that the latch is fully closed – do not operate the tool with the latch open or partially open. Figure 2 – Opening/Closing the Crimp Head Figure 3 – Aligning Connector With the Fixed Indenter 6. Follow all compression connector manufacturers’ instructions for crimp location. Some wire sizes may require more than one crimp per connector. Center the connector squarely against the fixed indenter (mounted on latch) (Figure 3). If the connector is not centered on the fixed indenter or is between the indenters, an improper crimp and tool damage can result. When making a single crimp, line up the indenters within the lines on the connector. When making multiple crimps is required by the connector manufacture’s instruction, ensure there is enough room to evenly space crimps between lug lines. 4P-6 4PIN™ Dieless Crimp Head Instructions NOTICE Selection of appropriate materials and joining methods is the responsibility of the system designer and/or installer.

With the battery removed from the tool, depress the QCS sleeve and remove the head. 2. Clean the Crimp Head and remove all dirt, oil, grease, and debris to aid in inspection and improve control. Pay close attention to the QCS coupling to ensure there is no debris to damage the coupling. 3. Inspect the head for: • Proper assembly and completeness. • Wear, corrosion or other damage. Dimples in the grooves of the QCS are normal with use and are not considered damage. • Make sure that the latch works properly and securely closes. • Presence and readability of head markings. If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected. 4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as directed in their instructions. 5. The QCS coupling is lubricated for life at the factory and does not require any further lubrication. Lubricate the pivot points of the latch with a light weight general purpose lubricating oil. Wipe off any excess oil. Set-Up/Operation 1. Prepare the connection to be crimped per the connector manu- facturer’s instructions. 2. Choose the appropriate crimp equipment for the application per their specifications. Make sure all equipment is inspected and set up per its instructions. 3. Remove the battery from the tool. Depress the QCS sleeve on the electrical tool and remove/insert the head. Release the sleeve to retain the head. Confirm that the head is fully inserted and locked into tool before turning ON. (If head will not lock into QCS, ensure tool ram is fully retracted by pressing the pressure release button). 4. With dry hands install the tool battery. 5. If needed, open the head by pushing the latch to the side and ro- tating out (Figure 2). Close the head around the connector to be crimped. Make sure that the latch is fully closed – do not operate the tool with the latch open or partially open.
