Safety Precautions
The following precautions must be followed when using the FT1555-BM230. Failure to follow warnings and fully understand the
operation of the FT1555-BM230 could cause serious injury to the operator or other personnel and may void warranty.
Before starting to use the FT1555-BM230 read the operation instructions and take care of the safety precautions as indicated.
Safety glasses are mandatory when operating the FT1555-BM230
The unit is never to be operated without safety cover(s) and heat guard removed.
Do not use the system until you are sure that the routine checks described have been completed and that the routine preventive
maintenance program is up-to-date. If any part of the system is known (or suspected) to be defective or wrongly adjusted do not
use the system until a repair has been made. Operation of the system with defective or wrongly adjusted components could create
safety hazards. This could lead to serious personal injury.
Do not touch the areas of the machine housing around the Air Knife/ Heat Guard, as these surfaces are hot and can cause burns.
Let the machine housing surfaces cool down before touching external surfaces of the machine.
Do not put your fingers or hand in the opening of the Air Knife, risk of burning fingers or hand.
*Be sure to keep the work area around the FT1555-BM230, clean and dry at all times.

Description and Operating Procedures
Features & Benefits
• Applies heated air to shrink CapSeal Capsules onto fitting ends
in less than one second
• Designed for CapSeal Capsules from 14mm ID through 80mm
ID
• Works with fitting hex sizes from 10mm through 78mm or any
other shape fitting within the size limitation of the capsule.
• The Air Knife with heat guard has a 110mm center opening
that allows multiple assembly ends to shrink at once with use
of the Magnetic Pucks.
• Magnetic Puck holds the Capsule onto the fitting for a perfect
seal during the shrinking process (Small 40mm / Large 64mm)
• Magnetic Puck pulls the swivel nut forward on 90° and 45°
fittings for easy insertion into the Air Knife for capsule shrinking
• Heating unit is thermocouple protected against overheating.

Installation
• Position the machine in a clean, dry, well ventilated area and
away from any combustible materials.
• Keep a clear perimeter of 0.3m (12”) at both sides and 0.6m
(24”) at rear of machine.
• Do not place anything on top of this machine.
• Attach Air Knife/ Heat Guard to heatgun nozzle, using allen
wrench key size (3/16” or 4.5mm)
• Tampering with cord or socket may cause electrical issues and
void warranty.
• Connect the power cord to the correct electrical socket, make
sure the Power On/Off Switch on the CapSeal System is in the
Off position. (L6-15 NEMA twist lock)
Operating Procedures
Check the area around the machine and make sure that
everything is clear, clean and dry before turning the
FT1555-BM230 on.
• Set the Power On/Off switch in the on position. The Power
switch will light up green. From a cold start the machine will
take 8 minutes to reach the optimal sealing temperature.
(Consult Chart Below)
• Place the CapSeal Capsule over the fitting of the hose or tube
assembly. Place small or large puck onto the end fitting to
ensure no space between end fitting and capsule. Be sure
capsule is not extended over the edge of Puck for even heat
distribution
• Slowly insert fitting through the Air Knife with a forward
motion allowing the fitting to pass through the Air Knife. Then
with a backwards motion pull the fitting out of the Air Knife.
• Remove magnetic puck and inspect capsule to confirm that it
is shrunk securely onto the fitting
Do NOT leave the FT1555-BM230 unattended when in use.

Disconnect all incoming electrical power to the FT1555-BM230
before you start cleaning or maintaining the system. When
the cleaning or maintenance is complete, you may restore the power
supply.
Air Filter maintenance
Required tools: 5/64 or 2mm Allen wrench, coarse brush or vacuum
cleaner with brush. This maintenance procedure can be executed by
the operator of the machine.
The scheduled cleaning of CapSeal System Air Filters is
vitally important to the correct temperature and function
of the heating element and shrinking process. Without proper
air flow through the system, the heating element can overheat
which will cause internal damage and overheating of the CapSeal
Capsule. The amount of airborne contaminants varies from
location to location. Daily cleaning of the filter and air intake grill
is required when the machine is in use. If you have any questions
or concerns about the cleaning procedures or correct operation of
the unit, please contact us immediately at fpgproductsupport@
danfoss.com or your supplier outside the USA.
1. Turn off the power switch. Disconnect the FT1555-BM230 from the
power source and remove the unit from service.
2. Visually inspect the system for signs of overheating. Examples of
overheating may include discoloration of the stainless-steel cover,
cracked or peeling warning labels, or deformation of the rubber
foot mounts.
3. Remove the black plastic filter retainer on the end plate and
remove the foam filter. Wash the foam filter in warm water with
soap and dry completely.
4. Remove the 4 screws that hold the filter base in place, using a
2mm or 5/64” Allen Wrench (not included)
5. Use a coarse brush (not included) for removing any debris from
the heating elements’air intake grill that could obstruct air flow.
A vacuum cleaner with brush attachment is also acceptable for
cleaning.
6. Reinstall the foam filter and retainer.
7. Return the FT1555-BM230 to service (see page 4)
