3. PUTTING IN SERVICE
3.1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
IMPORTANT - READ BOTH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGES 3 - 5 AND THE PUMP UNIT INSTRUCTION
MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE PUTTING INTO SERVICE
When both hoses and control cable are connected to the STANLEY Engineered Fastening/Enerpac® hydraulic pump unit, the
pull and return cycles of the tool are controlled by depressing and releasing the trigger located in the handle.
When the switch is depressed the solenoid valve, located in the hydraulic pump unit, is energised and directs the
pressurised oil fl ow to the pull side of the piston in the placing tool. This also allows the oil in the return side of the placing
tool to return to the reservoir.
During the pull cycle the piston/collet assembly moves towards the rear of the tool allowing the O-ring type cushion to
push the follower and jaws forward. If a fastener pin has been inserted in the nose assembly, the jaw set will clamp onto the
pintail and assembly will commence.
For Avbolt® and Avdelok® XT the cycle of installation will fi rst clamp the joint to be fastened and then as the anvil continues
to move forward the collar will be swaged into the locking grooves of the pin. At the end of the swaging cycle the anvil will
come up against the joint and as movement continues the pintail will be broken off .
The trigger switch should be released immediately after pin break occurs. Releasing the trigger switch will cause the
solenoid to de-energise and reverse the fl ow of pressurised oil.
If the trigger is not released, the placing tool piston will continue to move towards the rear of the tool until it reaches the
end of its stroke. The pressure in the pull side will then increase until a preset 'High Pressure' value is achieved at the pump.
At this point the solenoid valve will automatically de-energise and reverse the fl ow of pressurised oil to the return side of the
placing tool.
In either case, pressurised oil will now fl ow into the return side of the placing tool, with the oil in the pull side returning to
the reservoir.
The forward movement of the piston/collet assembly will eject the installed fastener from the anvil.
At the point of releasing the trigger or when the 'High Pressure' value is achieved, the solenoid valve will de-energise and
activate a preset 'Return Timer' . This controls the time that the pump motor will continue run before switching to the idle
mode. The timer can be manually set between 5 and 20 seconds to ensure that the placing tool piston always fully returns to
the forward position.
When the piston returns to the fully forward position, the pressure will increase to preset low pressure value - c200bar. The
pump motor will continue to run until the Return Timer has expired. After this time period the motor will stop automatically
and valve will switch to the idle position. The solenoid valve will then automatically cycle to release pressurised oil to the
reservoir from both the pull and return side of the placing tool.
This keeps the installation tool in the forward position. No pressure will be present in the hydraulic system at this point.
The hydraulic pump unit will automatically start up on depression of the tool trigger switch.
3.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
CAUTION – Correct pull and return pressures are important for proper function of the installation tool. Personal
injury or damage to equipment may occur without correct pressures. The pull and return pressures supplied by the
hydraulic pump unit must not exceed those pressures listed in the placing tool specifi cation.
IMPORTANT – Before putting placing tool and hydraulic hose set into service:
Ensure that the pump pressure relief valves have been set in accordance with the pump instructions and the
maximum pressures specifi ed for the placing tool and hoses.
Ensure that the hose kit is primed with hydraulic fl uid in accordance with the procedure in the pump instruction
manual 07900-01030.
•
Ensure the mains power supply to the hydraulic pump unit is switched off .
•
Connect the placing tool hydraulic hose quick couplers directly to the pump unit before connecting the electrical
control cable. Hoses and control cable must be connected in this order and disconnected in reverse order.
•
Switch on the mains supply to the hydraulic pump unit. Wait 5 seconds for the pump unit to complete the boot
sequence, before pressing the trigger switch. When all set the LCD screen on the pump unit will display 'AVDEL' .
