EK622LX Battery-powered Crimping Tool
Operation
(cont’d)
Pressure Sensor
This tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts
the user of an incomplete crimp.
• If the tool is manually retracted before completion of a
crimp, the red LED and an audible beep will be active
for 2 seconds.
• If the tool is unable to reach the required crimp force,
the red LED, work light, and an audible beep will pulse
until after the trigger is released.
Installing K22, KA22, and KC22-type Dies
1. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.
2. Push the die release button.
3. Slide the die into the crimping head until it “snaps”
into place.
4. Properly position the second die. Repeat steps 2
and 3.
Installing W-type Dies
1. Push the die release button.
2. Slide the die adapter (Greenlee part number
50042920) into crimping head until it “snaps” into
place.
Note: The die adapters have the “D
3
” die profile.
No additional dies are needed if the connector to be
crimped requires a “D
3
” die.
3. Repeat for the other adapter.
4. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.
5. Press the locking flange and open the crimping
head.
6. Push the W-type die detent and slide the W-type die
into place.
7. Properly position the second die. Repeat steps 5
and 6.

Crimping Cable
1. Press the locking flange and open the crimping
head.
2. Insert the properly assembled connector into the
crimping head.
3. Close the crimping head.
4. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.
5. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool
achieves pressure relief and the ram retracts.
6. The crimping tool returns automatically.
7. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat
Steps 4 through 6 for the number of crimps as
described in this manual.
8. Open the crimping head and remove the connector.
Notes: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a
crimping cycle is completed, push the retract button.
Pushing the retract button will result in the complete
retraction of the ram.
After completing the last crimp with W-type dies on an
aluminum connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
crimp.
• The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically
retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not
hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does
not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
