The Cyclone®, GB model B2000 production bender is used to bend

EMT, IMC, rigid steel or rigid aluminum conduit. A single bending

shoe accommodates sizes 1⁄2", 3⁄4", 1", 11⁄4", 11⁄2" and 2" conduit.

The shoe is driven by a 115 V, 15 A motor. The roller housing

consists of a single urethane roller support arm, and three sets of

nylon rollers.

The bender control pendant consists of a zero light, a green power

light, a jog push button, a push button for “Bend and Return”. An

8’ electrical cord connects the pendant to the bender frame. The

bender can be used in a horizontal or vertical position.

The end plate contains an ON-OFF switch which is also a circuit

breaker. When the switch is turned on, the two leds will flash red,

then green to indicate normal function.

To avoid damaging the bender control circuit, an input voltage

sensing system is built into the control circuit. If input voltage is less

than 92 VAC or higher than 132 VAC the bender will shut off. One of

the two LEDS located on the end plate will light to indicate whether

high or low voltage exists.

Re-set the bender by turning unit off then on again. If the incoming

current voltage has not been corrected, the bender will not operate.

The voltage range must be within 92 VAC to 132 VAC. Any situation

which causes a voltage drop or increase must be corrected before

using the B2000 Bender.

Voltage drops may be caused by:

• Extension cords that are too long.

• Extension cords made of light (16-18 gauge) wire.

• Multiple power tools on a single circuit.

• Other devices which require high amperes to operate.

degrees as the overbend (if bend is 5° over, move indicator 5°

clockwise). The degree of movement is observed by watching one

of the size marks as it moves past the angle disc scale. Tighten

the mounting screws.

Bends which are too short: Loosen the size scale (for type material

being bent) mounting screws. Slide the scale counterclockwise

as many degrees as the bend is short (if bend is 5° short move

counterclockwise 5°). The degree movement is observed by watching

one of the size marks as it moves past the angle disc scale. Tighten

the mounting screws.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

Periodic general maintenance to the bender may be required to

reduce the risk of malfunctioning rollers, sprockets, gear teeth,

and/or chains. These parts can become dirty, worn, or damaged

over time and may need to be greased or cleaned. Pressurized

air can be used to clean any dust or residue inside the bender

housing. The bender should not make any uncommon noises such

as rattling during use. If this happens, turn off the bender and

perform an inspection on the machine.

A troubleshooting aid exists on the printed circuit board mounted

to the inside of the operating handle. If all systems are functional,

a white L.E.D. (pictured in Figure 13) will flash once every two

seconds while the machine is powered up.

Error codes consist of different light patterns.

1. Blink twice = the motor is over heated.

2. Blink three times = limit switch has failed.

3. Blink 4 times = pendant control malfunction.

In addition the L.E.D. will be steady on if the bend or return button

is being pressed.
