  Moisture near electronics increases the risk of injury and tool damage from a short circuit.

The Pull Connect is an accessory that equips select models of pullers (UT-10, G6 and G10) and the 6810 feeder with Connected Pulling. The purpose of Connected Pulling is to quickly and accurately deliver, using radio signals, start and stop commands to both sides of the pull. With this feature, the pull will not start unless the feeder and puller foot switches are pressed. This removes the delay of sending stop commands over hand radios.
The operators are still expected to monitor the pull and adjust settings as needed while Connected Pulling.

The Pull Connect has two modes

• Endpoint Mode : Turns the Pull Connect into an endpoint attached to the puller/feeder that controls the start and stop of the pulling system.
• Repeater Mode : A Pull Connect set in this mode is placed between Pull Connects in Endpoint Mode to extend the range or avoid obstructions.

See Endpoint or Repeater Mode sections for set up instructions.
A Connected Pulling system needs a Pull Connect in Puller Endpoint Mode and a Pull Connect in Feeder Endpoint Mode to function. Pull Connect signals can only connect to one opposite endpoint signal per channel (Fig. 2). See below for suggested set ups and combinations of equipment. (Fig. 3)

Adding more than 2 Pull Connects to the system in Repeater Mode may cause noticeable delays in the signal.

The pull can be stopped at any time by lifting a foot off a foot switch or by pressing the STOP button (Fig. 4) on any Pull Connect in the system.

The Pull Connect broadcasting the stop signal will have the STOP Signal and General Status LEDs flashing red. Other units in the system will only show solid red General Status LEDs and no Stop Signal LEDs(Fig. 5).

The STOP command can only be disabled from the unit that is sending the signal. If the STOP command is coming from the unit set for the puller endpoint then that is the unit that has to be cleared to resume. To clear the stop command and resume pulling

1. Press and hold the STOP button until all the red LEDs turn OFF and the General Status LEDs return to green.
2. The puller and feeder operators then release and depress their foot switches again. The equipment will not start moving if the foot switch is still depressed after the STOP signal is disabled.

During operation, all the status lights will slowly flash green when idle, indicating that the Pull Connect is receiving and repeating signals. When the equipment is in motion the green General Status LEDs will circulate. (Fig. 6)

Endpoint Mode Set Up

This mode is used when the Pull Connect is controlling the start/stop operation on the ends of the pull through the foot switch. When both foot switches are pressed, the puller/feeder will move and when one operator steps off the foot switch, both will stop.
To set up the Pull Connect for Endpoint Mode

1. Before turning ON puller/feeder, attach Pull Connect to the equipment’s frame near the control panel using the mounting magnets. Make sure all lights and icons are visible on the Pull Connect and puller/feeder. For the best performance, do not place Pull Connect on the ground or in direct sunlight. If a unit has to be in the sun, avoid laying unit flat to reduce the risk of overheating.

2. Plug a Greenlee foot switch into the Pull Connects foot switch jack. The jack is labeled with this figure (Fig.7).

3. Plug the smaller end of the patch cord into the patch cord jack on the Pull Connect. The jack is labeled with this figure (Fig.8).

4. Plug the larger end of the patch cord into the feeder/puller’s foot switch jack. The Pull Connect can be used alone with a foot switch when hand-feeding cable. The operator should be in full control of the start and stop of the equipment at all times.

5. Press and hold the Power Button (Fig.9) for 4 seconds to turn ON Pull Connect. All the LEDs on the Pull Connect will light up and then turn OFF except for the Power Status, Battery and Mode Select LEDs. See Troubleshooting Tables if Power Status LED is solid or flashing red. The unit does not begin to listen or repeat signals until a channel has been selected.

6. When the Mode Select LEDs next to the Mode Select Buttons start flashing white, select Puller or Feeder endpoint indicated by the icons (Fig. 10). The Mode Select LED next to the button pressed will be solid white, and the others will turn OFF.

7. When the Radio Channel LEDs next to the numbered Radio Channel Buttons start flashing green, press the button for the channel that matches the other units in the system. (Fig.11)
   The Radio Channel LED next to the button pressed will turn solid green, and the LEDs for the unused radio channels will turn OFF.

8. Radio the other side of the pull to verify their unit is set up and on the same channel. All units in the system must be on the same channel for the signals to connect and the endpoint designations must not be the same. If there is already the same kind of endpoint signal on the channel, the units will not connect.

9. After selecting the radio channel, wait for the Signal Strength LEDs to stop sweeping back and forth. 1 to 5 solid green LEDs means a connection has been made and indicates the strength of the signal (Fig.12).
   If the signal bars continue sweeping, the signal may be blocked or the pulling equipment is too far apart. Move any obstructions or add Pull Connects in Repeater Mode to extend or divert the signal around the obstruction until the bars turn solid.

10. Set up operate the puller/feeder according to their instruction manuals.

11.  Depress the foot switch on the puller/feeder, the green Endpoint LED will light up next to the Puller or Feeder icon.(Fig.13) Both the Puller and Feeder Endpoint LEDs have to be lit to start the pull; this indicates both operators are on their foot switches and ready. Stop the pull by releasing the foot switch or pressing the STOP button.
    Operators should be in control of the foot switch at all times and be positioned to remove their foot quickly to reduce the risk of injury and equipment damage.
    During operation, when the Pull Connect is receiving and repeating signals but the equipment is not in motion, the General Status LEDs will all flash green. When the equipment is in motion, the green General Status LEDs will circulate clockwise.
    The Pull Connect broadcasting a STOP signal will have the STOP button and General Status LEDs flashing red. Other units in the system will have the General Status LEDs lit solid red.

Repeater Mode Set Up

Repeater Mode is best used when weak signals are detected on Pull Connects in Endpoint mode or a connection cannot be made because the endpoints are too far apart or blocked.
It is recommended, no more than two Pull Connects in Repeater Mode be added to the system. Adding more than two Pull Connects between endpoints will start adding noticeable delay into the system.

1. Before setting up a Pull Connect in Repeater Mode, check that the puller and feeder side Pull Connects are active and sending out signals.
2. Identify a clear, dry place, off the ground between the feeder and puller to place the Pull Connect. The magnets allow for the Pull Connect to attach to a metal support, equipment or table. For the best performance, do not place Pull Connect on the ground or in direct sunlight. If a unit has to be in the sun, avoid laying unit flat.
3.  Press and hold the Power Button for 4 seconds (Fig. 14). All the LEDs on the Pull Connect will light up and then turn Off leaving the Power Status LED solid green. See Troubleshooting Tables if Power Status LED is solid or flashing red. The unit does not begin to listen or repeat signals until a channel has been selected.
4. When the Mode Select LEDs next to the Mode Select Buttons start flashing white, select Repeater Mode endpoint indicated by the icon (Fig. 15). The Mode Select LED next to the button pressed will be solid white, and the others will turn OFF.
5. When the Radio Channel LEDs next to the numbered Radio Channel Buttons start flashing green, press the button for the channel that matches the other units in the system. (Fig.16) The Radio Channel LED next to the button pressed will turn solid green, and the LEDs for the unused radio channels will turn OFF.
6. After selecting the radio channel, wait for the Signal Strength LEDs to stop sweeping back and forth. 1 to 5 solid green LEDs means a connection has been made and indicates the strength of the signal (Fig.17). If the signal bars continue sweeping, the signal may be blocked or the pulling equipment is still too far apart. Set up a second Pull
   Connect in Repeater Mode. Once the Repeater unit is connected to the Endpoint units, the Repeater unit’s Mode LEDs for the Endpoints will alternate turning ON and OFF and the Signal Strength LEDs will change to reflect the signal strength from the Endpoint illuminated.

Connected Pulling works best with a line of sight between each piece of equipment; this will create the strongest connection. If signals need to pass through walls, place the Pull Connect near the wall closest to the next Pull Connect.
When the Pull Connect is receiving and repeating signals but the equipment is not in motion, the General Status LEDs will all flash green. When the equipment is in motion, the General Status LEDs will circulate clockwise green. The Pull Connect broadcasting a STOP signal will have the STOP button and general status lights flashing red. All other units will only have the General Status LEDs lit solid red.

Transportation & Storage
Store the Pull Connect, turned OFF and in the provided carrying bag. Store in a cool, dry place. If left in the car on a hot day allow a few minutes for the unit to cool before turning ON or charging. The unit will not work if it is overheated.
