When the switch on the RP 200-B is depressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and applying thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other uses. The entire cycle duration is approximately four (4) seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the trigger switch is released. The LED light on the front of the tool will blink to indicate issues such as improper temperature, low battery, or maintenance required. The RP 200-B comes with two (2) fabric loops that can be used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder straps or tie off lines.
