grammes as for example torque/angle procedure.
All models with overload protection.
B 1 Model Description
alkitronic® EB-S Battery driven torque multiplier with axial
drive. Comfortable 360° rotatable motor unit, robust motor
housing made of an aluminium alloy in combination with
impact-resistant plastic.
* approx. values / torque values are dependent on model
A Reception Control and Packaging
All parts must be visually inspected for any trans-
port damage. If such damage is found, notify the
carrier or the alkitronic® Partner immediately. All
returnsonlyinoriginalpackaging, thiswillprevent
damage to your alkitronic® tools/devices. There-
fore, keep the packaging!
B General Description
alkitronic® EB-S Battery driven torque multiplier are strength
power-operated torque multipliers for continuously tighten-
ing or loosening heavy duty bolt connections.
The torque multiplier turns o with achievement of a de-
manded value or nal torque.
The drive is done by a maintenance-free, low-wear syn-
chroniced motor without brushes and excellent eciency,
large torque range and high assembly speed.
1. Safety Instructions
1.1 Intended use
alkitronic®EB-S are designed to tighten or loosen heavy duty
bolt connections continuously. Do not use the torque mul-
tiplier for any other purpose than its intended use. For other
applications please consult alki TECHNIK GmbH.
1.2 Operators responsibilities
The operator must have read and understood the instructions
of this operation and maintenance manual before using or
servicing the alkitronic®EB-S. Minimum age of the operator
must be 18 years.
Operation and service may not be performed, if the con-
cerned person does not understand purpose, consequences
and precise performance of each procedure. For questions
regarding the safety measures and areas of application, your
alkitronic®Partner will be pleased to assist.
Improper operation, incorrect application, abuse
or use by unqualied personnel may be hazardous
to other persons, operator, torque multiplier and
other property.
The operator is responsible to third parties within
the work area. Keep children and bystanders away
while operating the torque multiplier.
Only use the alkitronic® charging station indoors!
Protect the charging station from moisture!
Non-authorized alterations and modications of
the torque multiplier are not permitted. .
1.3 Possible hazards alkitronic®EB-S and charging station
In the eventof smoke or re, immediatelydisconnect
the battery pack and charger or put the device away
in a safe place.
The torque multiplier and charging station must not
be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.When
used in any working environment, the relevant local
regulations- as wellasyourownprotectivemeasures
- must be observed.
In case of mechanical or electrical damage to the
alkitronic® EB-S or the alkitronic® charging station,
stop operation immediately.
Thedamageddevicemustbecheckedformechanical
or electrical safety. Repairs may only be carried out
by authorised personnel. Defects must be rectied
before further operation. Before starting repair work
on mechanical and electrical parts, disconnect the
power supply or remove the battery from the torque
multiplier.

18 V, 4 Ah or 6 Ah adjustable.
Optimum storage temperature 50- 300 C.
alkitronic®/ Einhell Charging station 220-250 V / 50-60 Hz /
max 95 W, output 20 V / 4,0 A (d.c.)
Important! According to special provision 188, the
lithium-ion battery must always be set to 4 Ah (72
Wh) before it can be shipped or transported! Faulty
lithium-ion batteries must never be shipped in the
ordinary mail! Please contact alkiTECHNIK GmbH or
your alkitronic® partner.
3. Start-up Li-Ion Battery
3.1 Changing of the battery capacities
The alkitronic®/ Einhell Li-Ion battery pack can be switched
between two capacities (4 Ah/6 Ah)
- 4 Ah (72 Wh) --> better for the battery, extending its total
life by about 3 times
- 6 Ah (108 Wh) --> long operating time per battery charge
The battery is supplied with 4 Ah (72 Wh).
Press the battery charge level
indicator button (A) briefly.
The display (B) for the battery
charge level indicator initially
B
A
Fig 1
displays the charge status in % and then the current set charge
level consecutively for 2 seconds each.
This process is essential in order to avoid switching over
inadvertently.
Battery charge
level indicator
Important!
The charge status adjusts automatically after a switch
to 4 Ah or 6 Ah and can dier from the previous set-
ting. If the battery has a charge status of 100 % when
set to 4.0 Ah, for instance, and is then switched to 6.0
Ah, the charge status will fall to signicantly less than
100 %. You will need to recharge the battery.
Do not use defective or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short-
circuit the contacts! Keep small metal objects away
that could cause bridging of the contacts. A short
circuit can cause re and burns.
A slightly acidic, ammable liquid can escape from
defective Li-Ion battery packs!
If battery uid leaks out and comes into contact
with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of
water. If battery uid gets into your eyes, wash
them out with clean water and seek medical at-
tention immediately!
Never charge non-rechargeable batteries. Danger
of explosion!
Do not recharge a fully charged battery pack!
Do not insert any objects into the ventilation of the
alkitronic® EB-S housing or the charging station -
risk of short circuit or electric shock !
3.2 Hazard warnings alkitronic®battery pack
Protect battery packs (1) from moisture
and do not expose to re!
• The battery can only be switched if the number 4 or 6 is
pressed. Other numbers do not have any signicance.
Proceed as follows for the settings:
Important! Read the instructions through com-
pletely before changing the battery setting!
• Hold the button (Fig. 1) for the battery charge level indi-
cator (A) down for about 6 seconds until the battery on
the display (B) begins to count from 1 to 9.
• To switch from 4 Ah to 6 Ah, press the button (A) brie y again
when the number 6 is displayed. The count then continues
as normal to 9.
• To switch from 6 Ah to 4 Ah, press the button (A) brie y again
when the number 4 is displayed. The count then continues
as normal to 9.
• Once the display (B) has reached 9, the new setting“6Ah”
or“4Ah”will be indicated for about 2 seconds.The battery
is now switched and ready for use.
When bolting, we recommend using the battery pack
with the preset of 4 Ah, as the performance of the
alkitronic®EB-S is optimized for this setting.
It is therefore not necessary to change to 6 Ah to achieve
the maximum torques
Advice
In order to further increase the number of bolted
joints, the charging of the battery pack can be car-
ried out at a 6 Ah setting, thus achieving a maximum
state of charge. As soon as the charging process is
nished, set the capacity back to 4 Ah!

In the interest of a long service life of the battery pack, you
should ensure that the battery pack is recharged in good time.
This is necessary in any case if you notice that the performance
of the device is decreasing. Never discharge the battery pack
completely. This will lead to a defect in the battery pack!
alkitronic®/ Einhell Charging station
• Insert the power plug of the charger into the mains socket
outlet. The green LED will then begin to ash. Push the
battery pack onto the battery charger (3).
• At page 6, item 4.2 (Charger indicator) you will nd a table
with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
• If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:
• - voltage at the power socket ?
• - whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts of the charging unit ?
•
• If charging of the battery pack is still not possible, please
contact your alkitronic® partner or send the charging sta-
tion and the battery pack to alki TECHNIK GmbH. Please
