IT4000-AB
Air System
5/16” Band-Lok
The IT4000 is a pneumatic tool that needs a clean and dry air supply. The BAND-IT Air Controller Module includes a filter to meet these requirements. For proper tool performance, the air requirements at the inlet to the BAND-IT Air Controller Module of the IT4000 must be:
Item Min Max
Inlet Supply Pressure (PSI) 100 140 Inlet Supply Air Flow (SCFM) 1.5 Particle Size In Air Supply (microns) 5 Air Moisture Content 20% RH Tension Pressure Settings (PSI) 50 70 Cut-off Pressure Setting (PSI) 110 115
Tool
Note – An Air Booster Unit is now available to meet air pressure requirements.
Please have tool model and serial #’s available when calling the factory for
service assistance. Contact BAND-IT-IDEX customer service, 303-320-4555. Caution – Do not exceed a Tension pressure of 70 PSI. Pressures above 70 PSI
may cause premature clamp failure.

Air System
5/16” Band-Lok
Tool
The standard IT4000 shipping container includes: Air Controller
Module, IT4000 tool body, coiled air line, owner’s manual and tool kit.
(tools with packaging option 1 include the tool and manual only)
Initial Setup - Pneumatics
• Connect the tool body to the Air Controller Module using the included Coiled Hose
Assembly. The hose assembly includes both a clear and black hose. Each hose
end includes a female and male fitting, arranged to prevent reversing of connections.
• Connect Air Controller Module to air source (assure air supply meets requirements on page 4) and turn RED Shut-off Valve counter clockwise to pressurize tool (supply position).
• Cut-off Pressure: 110 PSI recommended. Make sure the Cut-off Pressure Gauge located on the left side of the module reads a pressure of 110 PSI min and 115 PSI max..
• Tension Pressure: 70 PSI recommended. The Tension Pressure Gauge monitors the tension applied to the clamp tail. Recommended air pressure at the Tension Gauge should be 50-70 PSI for BAND-IT 5/16” Band-Lok ties.
• Caution: Tension pressures above 70 PSI may cause premature clamp failure and/or tool wear.
Setting the Tool Air Pressure
The tension pressure directly affects the force applied to the clamp.
To correctly set the air pressure from the air controller module going to the tool, hook up
the air supply to the tool. Activate the tool by depressing the trigger for a few seconds. Re­read the pressure when the tool is at rest and adjust again if necessary. Repeat until the desired pressure is shown on the tension pressure gage.
Tension pressure may need to be adjusted depending on the application.

Overview
Pneumatic System:
The pneumatic valves and cylinders contain seals and o-ring components which can experience accelerated wear associated with quality of the supply. Worn cylinder o-rings allow air to bypass the pistons in the cylinders, affecting the performance of the tool and cause the output force of the tool to drift. Although cylinders are permanently lubricated, premature wear can be caused by contaminants in the air supply or the presence of water
and oil. The tool’s internal valves can also be affected by contaminants in the air lines
causing a valve malfunction. BAND-IT recommends the use of an Air Booster System to address the potential problems
associated with low air supply. In addition to filtering and drying the air supply, it will assure pressure of 110 PSI improving the consistency of tool performance.
Tool
Tool Function:
The IT4000 tool utilizes the conditioned air supply to actuate the mechanical linkage. The linkage activates a gripping system which tensions BAND-IT Band-Lok clamps. The tension output of the tool can vary depending upon the air pressure supplied to the tool. If the pressure is increased, the output force increases.
During the tension cycle, the tool continues to tension the band until the pre-set tension is achieved. The tool stops tensioning when the pressure in the tension cylinder equals the inlet tension pressure coming from the air controller module. After the tool has achieved the preset tension, its valve switches over to the cutoff cycle. The gripping system retains force on the clamp until a knife is actuated down, forming the lock, and cutting the excess clamp tail.

Setup & Assembly Instructions
Handle adjustment:
• Using 1/4” hex key (supplied), adjust
the Support Arm/Handle to ergonomically match the operators hand.
• Be sure not to adjust the Handle too far outward (beyond interlocking legs) or the handle will not function properly or provide support to the operator.
