7 Brief description of the press device
7.1 Automatic press cycle (Fig. 1)
The device features an automatic press cycle. This ensures that the pressing
operation is always completed. The automatic press cycle is only activated
after approx. 1 second. After the automatic press cycle has been triggered,
the green LED (2) goes out and the pressing operation runs automatically. The
pressing operation can then only be stopped by pressing and holding release
button (5). After the pressing operation has been completed, the motor
automatically switches off and the green LED (2) lights up again.
If the start button (1) is released before the automatic press cycle begins,
the piston in the press device moves back to its starting position. The
pressing operation will not have been completed. The pressing operation must
be triggered again.
7.2 Release button (Fig. 1)
The pressing operation can be stopped at any time by pressing and holding the release button (5). The piston in the press device then returns to its starting position.
7.3 Pressing point lighting
When the start button (1) is pressed, the pressing point is lit by 1 LED (12). If the press device is out of use for a longer period, the device and the LED switch off.
7.4 Wireless interface (Fig. 1)
The device ACO103 BT features a wireless interface.
This wireless interface together with the NovoCheck app can be used to connect
the ACO103 BT to a mobile terminal device, such as a smartphone, tablet,
etc. (Android, IOS; further information at
www.novopress.de). The following functions are
available:
- Reading the press device
- Checking the press device
- Making settings
- Generating construction site reports.
To establish a connection, the press device must be operational and the NovoCheck app installed on the terminal device.
The press device can now be connected with the NovoCheck app. (For more information, go to www.novopress.de) When the connection to the wireless interface was established successfully, the blue LED (10) lights up.
The blue LED (10) goes out if no connection has been established until the first pressing operation is performed. A new attempt to establish the connection can only be made if the press device has been switched off in the meantime. It may be necessary to pull the rechargeable battery for this.
If you do not wish to establish a connection, press the start button (1) once again and perform the pressing operation.
7.5 Battery
| Information!
The batteries are not charged at the factory.
Therefore:
– Charge the batteries before using for the first time.
---|---
| Information!
Limited temperature range for charging and storing the batteries.
Therefore:
-It is imperative that the operating instructions for the battery charger
are complied with.
---|---
Removing the battery (Fig. 2)
Push in (1) the two release buttons (A) and then remove the battery (2).
Inserting the battery (Fig. 3)
Slide the battery into the device as illustrated until it clicks into
place.
Battery charge indicator (Fig. 1)
The 3 green LEDs (4) indicate the charge level of the battery. The number
of LEDs lit up denotes the battery charge. If the LED (2) is flashing, the
battery is empty and no further travel is possible.
| Information!
The ACO103 BT press device must only be operated with 12 V lithium-ion
rechargeable batteries. The 12 V battery must only be used in the appropriate
press devices.
---|---
Feature of the press device when the battery is empty:
When a pressing operation begins, a check is made to determine whether the
battery charge is sufficient to complete the pressing operation. If this is
not the case the device does not start. The green LED (2) flashes.
If the green LED (2) flashes following a pressing operation, the pressing operation was carried out correctly. The battery must be recharged prior to the next pressing operation.
7.6 Energy saving mode
If the press device is not used over an extended period, the device switches off. No LED is lit up any longer. Press the start button (1) briefly to activate the press device.
