Operating Instructions
SAFETY
 Never use power tools or clamps for anything other than their intended
purpose, if in doubt consult factory
 Keep hands away from clamps being tensioned
 Always wear safety glasses when operating power tool
INITIAL TOOL SETUP
All Band-Master® ATS pneumatic tools operate on compressed air. Connect
air supply to regulator assembly using a quick-disconnect socket 1/4” body.
This connection is recommended so tool can be moved to another location or
disconnected from air supply when not in use. Supply pressure to regulator
assembly must be between 100-110 psi. Higher pressure could damage internal
components. Lower pressure slows tool down and makes cutting of band
uncertain. 40 micron pre-ltering element is recommended on contaminated
supply lines.
An air dryer is recommended on supply lines with water accumulation problems.
No lubricator is used on the tool. Introducing oil to air system will do more harm
than good.
All tools are factory set for nominal clamping conditions. Tension is set by
adjusting pressure on regulator assembly.
CAUTION: Under-tensioned clamps result in loose assemblies. Excessive tension
may damage clamp, backshell or band tool mechanism
Regulator assembly mounting
In a permanent installation, regulator assembly should be bolted to a at surface
to allow exible cord to be stretched without dragging regulator assembly (see
gure 2 for mounting pattern). Keep lter vertical to maximize the water and
contaminant capacity.

Operating Instructions
Attach tool head to regulator
1. Assemble tool and regulator using coil hose.
2. If pressure needs to be adjusted open cover and loosen the 5/16” hex nut
slightly under the adjustment knob.
3. Touch ON/OFF button on the digital gage to turn on readout. Readout will
auto shuto after 20 minutes.
4. Adjust the regulator while reading the digital pressure gage to achieve the
correct psi. Nano 5/64 inch band, 15.0 to 15.5 psi, 50 pound pull.
NOTE: Pressure is factory set. Adjust only if necessary. Pressures are for
reference only, exact values change from tool to tool.
5. The digital gauge on the top of the regulator assembly MUST indicate the
proper pressure for the type of tool and band used.
6. Lock the adjustment shaft by tightening the 5/16 nut under the adjustment
knob.

.125” wide Nano BandMaster® ATS band shown
Figure 3
Operating instructions
1. Insert band tail through the tool nose opening (see gure 3), making sure
that clamp circle is directed away from the tool body.
2. To tension the band, press and hold down actuator button. Always install
bands perpendicular to the axis of the object to be clamped. Do not force
tool sideways or in any other direction when band tail is under tension or
during cut-o. Doing so may damage clamp and/or tool.
3. The Band-Master® ATS Pneumatic tool will automatically cut the band once
the desired tension has been reached. If no cut-o occurs, check to make
sure the automatic cut-o switch has been turned “on” (the silver switch on
the back side of the handle should point toward the red reset button). If the
switch is pointing in the wrong direction, ip it to the “auto” position and the
tool will cut o the band. If cut-o stalls, turn switch o and immediately on
again while holding down actuator button. This may have to be done only
once with the rst band, after tool has been pressurized.
4. Immediately after cut-o, release actuator button and remove the excess
band from the tool.

Important notes:
 Air supply line pressure is critical. 100-110 psi is required at the inlet port
of the regulator assembly to allow the tool to operate properly. For line
pressures less than 100 psi the tool must be tested for proper operation.
 DO NOT ADJUST THE REGULATOR ON THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY OVER
100 PSI
 Do not over tighten the 5/16 inch hex locking collar for the regulator shaft,
damage may occur.
 Improperly installed clamps may result in faulty shield termination and
insucient ground bonding.
 Do not twist or force tool or cable assembly in any direction while installing
clamps.
 Always install clamps perpendicular to the axis of the cable being terminated.
When clamping irregular shaped band platforms, choose a location of the
buckle where it is well supported on the bottom. A properly designed
backshell with a lip are essential when tensile loads may be expected.
 To verify tension setting after the tool has been at rest for some time, actuate
the tool momentarily and conrm pressure setting on the digital pressure
gauge.
 Glenair recommends that banding occur on an unxtured cable assembly.
Trying to band on a rmly xed surface may aect the applied forces and
interfere with the cut-o operation. The cut-o operation causes a rotation
of the band termination in order to aect a lock. Therefore, when performing
the banding operation on a xtured cable or device the operator MUST allow
the band tool to rotate slightly as the cut-o operation is performed.

Adjust cut-o timer (see gure 6)
1. Do not alter factory setting, unless necessary.
2. A small copper screw found on the back of the tool handle (above the reset
button) adjusts the cut-o timing.
3. Using a small, standard screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to increase the
cut-o delay, and counter-clockwise to decrease the cut-o delay.
Caution: Adjusting cut-o delay timing too short will result in premature cut-o,
and a loose clamp.

Replace worn/damaged cut-o blade (see gure 7)
This procedure is easier to do if tool is connected to air supply.
1. Using two .050” hex keys, remove one of the screws from the threaded
sleeve; then push the sleeve out.
2. Using a 7/64” hex key, remove screw holding blade
3. If cutting edge of the blade is damaged or worn, the blade must be replaced.
Important:
To order correct replacement part, tool model number (part number) must be
provided.

BAND INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
Banding Inspection (See gure 9)
1. Be sure to read regulator system instructions and notes before using tool.
2. Adjust regulator to a reading of 15.0 -15.5 psi for a 50 pound pull. For
accurate tension setting, Band-Master® ATS calibration device must be
used (part no. 601-200). Do not adjust tool outside tension range. Pressure
reading on gauge should be used for reference only. Same tension output
may occur at somewhat dierent pressure readings from tool to tool due
to manufacturing tolerances. Calibration device will ensure proper tension
setting. Tool is factory calibrated to 50 ±3 lbs tension.
3. 601-118 Nano pneumatic tool uses only .075”wide Band-Master® ATS bands.
4. Condition of locking lip should be visually inspected on completed clamps.
If lip appears partially torn, damaged or not present at all, check tool tension
and condition of blade and knife. Make necessary adjustments and repairs.
Be sure to remove and replace faulty clamps. If lip is damaged or missing,
re-calibrate tool tension, check condition of cutter blade and knife, replace if
worn or damaged.
NOTE: 1. If poor cuto quality persists after knife and blade replacement, the tool
must be serviced 2. Band can be removed by lifting buckle with a screwdriver or
diagonal cutters.
