Training & Qualiﬁcations

Only workers trained and qualied should use this tool,

especially in a live line environment. It is recommended

at least a second trained and qualied person is present

at appropriate distance to respond if needed. Follow all

training and proper job site safety precautions outlined

by your industry, government and employer.

Pull Connect

The Pull Connect has two modes:

• Endpoint Mode: Turns the Pull Connect into an

endpoint attached to the puller/feeder that controls

the start and stop of the pulling system.

• Repeater Mode: A Pull Connect set in this mode is

placed between Pull Connects in Endpoint Mode to

extend the range or avoid obstructions.

See Endpoint or Repeater Mode sections for set up instructions.

A Connected Pulling system needs a Pull Connect in

Puller Endpoint Mode and a Pull Connect in Feeder

Endpoint Mode to function. Pull Connect signals can only

connect to one opposite endpoint signal per channel

(Fig. 2).

See below for suggested set ups and combinations of

equipment. (Fig. 3)

Tool Set Up & Operation

• Do not lock foot switch in ON position. The

operator should always be in control of the tool

to decrease the risk of injury from uncontrolled

movement of the tool.

• Maintain communication between operators.

Loss of communication increases the risk of injury

and damage to the tool and cable.

• Do not use Pull Connect in Endpoint Mode

outside the immediate area of operation. One

operator should be located at each endpoint to

monitor the pull and control the foot switches.

• Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. This enables better control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a puller or

feeder. Do not use this equipment while you

are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

• Do not place Pull Connect on ground. Pull

Connect could be damaged and be a tripping

hazard.

• Do not carry or unplug the foot switch or Pull

Connect by the cord. Continued abuse can lead to

damage to the cords. Damaged cords increase the

risk of electric shock.

• Do not use Pull Connect if wet. Moisture near

electronics increases the risk of injury and tool

damage from a short circuit.

Figure 2

The Pull Connect is an accessory that equips select models

of pullers (UT-10, G6 and G10) and the 6810 feeder with

Connected Pulling. The purpose of Connected Pulling

is to quickly and accurately deliver, using radio signals,

start and stop commands to both sides of the pull. With

this feature, the pull will not start unless the feeder and

puller foot switches are pressed. This removes the delay

of sending stop commands over hand radios.

NOTICE While using the Pull Connect, the operator is still

responsible for monitoring the status of the pulling system and

reacting appropriately when equipment is not operating as

expected. These actions include stepping off the foot switch or

pressing the STOP button on the Pull Connect so the situation

can be investigated and corrected.

*Adding more than 2 Pull Connects to the system in Repeater Mode

may cause noticeable delays in the signal.

NOTICE To reduce the risk of electronics damage and

reduced performance/product life, keep Pull Connect units

more than 6ft (2m) apart after channel is selected.

Pull Connect

The pull can be stopped at any time by lifting a foot off

a foot switch or by pressing the STOP button (Fig. 4) on

any Pull Connect in the system.

The Pull Connect broadcasting the stop signal will have

the STOP Signal and General Status LEDs ashing red.

Other units in the system will only show solid red General

Status LEDs and no Stop Signal LEDs(Fig. 5).

The STOP command can only be disabled from the

unit that is sending the signal. If the STOP command is

coming from the unit set for the puller endpoint then that

is the unit that has to be cleared to resume. To clear the

stop command and resume pulling:

1. Press and hold the STOP button until all the red

LEDs turn OFF and the General Status LEDs return

to green.

2. The puller and feeder operators then release and

depress their foot switches again. The equipment will

not start moving if the foot switch is still depressed

after the STOP signal is disabled.

During operation, all the status lights will slowly ash

green when idle, indicating that the Pull Connect is

receiving and repeating signals. When the equipment is

in motion the green General Status LEDs will circulate.

Endpoint Mode Set Up

This mode is used when the Pull Connect is controlling

the start/stop operation on the ends of the pull through

the foot switch. When both foot switches are pressed,

the puller/feeder will move and when one operator steps

off the foot switch, both will stop.

To set up the Pull Connect for Endpoint Mode:

1. Before turning ON puller/feeder, attach Pull Connect

to the equipment’s frame near the control panel using

the mounting magnets. Make sure all lights and icons

are visible on the Pull Connect and puller/feeder. For

the best performance, do not place Pull Connect on

the ground or in direct sunlight. If a unit has to be in

the sun, avoid laying unit at to reduce the risk of

overheating.

When using the Pull Connect with a 6810 Feeder,

make sure that the pendant momentary and the main

power switches are OFF, the E-Stop button is out, and

the speed control dial is set to the 10 o’clock or 11

o’clock position before setting up the Pull Connect.

See the 6810 Feeder manual for more detail on setting

up and using the feeder. Only use the footswitch /

Pull Connect, the 6810’s speed control dial, and the

E-stop to control the 6810 feeder. Do not use the

pendant switch or the main power switch to control

the 6810 Feeder when using the Pull Connect

NOTICE To reduce the risk of electronics damage and

reduced performance/product life, keep Pull Connect units

more than 6ft (2m) apart after channel is selected.

2. Plug a Greenlee foot switch into the Pull Connect’s

foot switch jack. The jack is labeled with this gure

(Fig.7).

3. Plug the smaller end of the patch cord into the patch

cord jack on the Pull Connect. The jack is labeled

with this gure (Fig.8).

4. Plug the larger end of the patch cord into the feeder/

puller’s foot switch jack. The Pull Connect can be

used alone with a foot switch when hand-feeding

cable. The operator should be in full control of the

start and stop of the equipment at all times.

5. Press and hold the Power Button (Fig.9) for 4

seconds to turn ON Pull Connect. All the LEDs on the

Pull Connect will light up and then turn OFF except

for the Power Status, Battery and Mode Select LEDs.

the obstruction until the bars turn solid.

10. Set up operate the puller/feeder according to their

instruction manuals.

11. Depress the foot switch on the puller/feeder, the

green Endpoint LED will light up next to the Puller or

Feeder icon.(Fig.13)

Both the Puller and Feeder Endpoint LEDs have to

be lit to start the pull; this indicates both operators

are on their foot switches and ready. Stop the pull

by releasing the foot switch or pressing the STOP

button.

Operators should be in control of the foot switch at all

times and be positioned to remove their foot quickly

to reduce the risk of injury and equipment damage.

During operation, when the Pull Connect is receiving and

repeating signals but the equipment is not in motion,

the General Status LEDs will all ash green. When the

equipment is in motion, the green General Status LEDs

will circulate clockwise.

The Pull Connect broadcasting a STOP signal will have

the STOP button and General Status LEDs ashing red.

Other units in the system will have the General Status

LEDs lit solid red.

See Troubleshooting Tables if Power Status LED is

solid or ashing red. The unit does not begin to listen

or repeat signals until a channel has been selected.

6. When the Mode Select LEDs next to the Mode Select

Buttons start ashing white, select Puller or Feeder

endpoint indicated by the icons (Fig. 10).

The Mode Select LED next to the button pressed will

be solid white, and the others will turn OFF.

7. When the Radio Channel LEDs next to the numbered

Radio Channel Buttons start ashing green, press

the button for the channel that matches the other

units in the system. (Fig.11)

The Radio Channel LED next to the button pressed

will turn solid green, and the LEDs for the unused

radio channels will turn OFF.

NOTICE To reduce the risk of electronics damage and

reduced performance/product life, keep Pull Connect units

more than 6ft (2m) apart after channel is selected.

8. Radio the other side of the pull to verify their unit

is set up and on the same channel. All units in the

system must be on the same channel for the signals

to connect and the endpoint designations must

not be the same. If there is already the same kind

of endpoint signal on the channel, the units will not

connect.

9. After selecting the radio channel, wait for the Signal

Strength LEDs to stop sweeping back and forth. 1

to 5 solid green LEDs means a connection has been

made and indicates the strength of the signal (Fig.12).

If the signal bars continue sweeping, the signal may

be blocked or the pulling equipment is too far apart.

Move any obstructions or add Pull Connects in

Pull Connect

5. When the Radio Channel LEDs next to the numbered

Radio Channel Buttons start ashing green, press the

button for the channel that matches the other units in

the system. (Fig.16)

The Radio Channel LED next to the button pressed

will turn solid green, and the LEDs for the unused radio

channels will turn OFF.

NOTICE To reduce the risk of electronics damage and

reduced performance/product life, keep Pull Connect

units more than 6ft (2m) apart after channel is selected.

6. After selecting the radio channel, wait for the Signal

Strength LEDs to stop sweeping back and forth. 1 to 5

solid green LEDs means a connection has been made

and indicates the strength of the signal (Fig.17).

If the signal bars continue sweeping, the signal may

be blocked or the pulling equipment is still too far

apart. Set up a second Pull Connect in Repeater

Mode.

Once the Repeater unit is connected to the Endpoint

units, the Repeater unit’s Mode LEDs for the

Endpoints will alternate turning ON and OFF and the

Signal Strength LEDs will change to reect the signal

strength from the Endpoint illuminated.

Connected Pulling works best with a line of sight between

each piece of equipment; this will create the strongest

connection. If signals need to pass through walls, place

the Pull Connect near the wall closest to the next Pull

Connect.

When the Pull Connect is receiving and repeating signals

but the equipment is not in motion, the General Status

LEDs will all ash green. When the equipment is in motion,

the General Status LEDs will circulate clockwise green.

The Pull Connect broadcasting a STOP signal will have

the STOP button and general status lights ashing red.

All other units will only have the General Status LEDs lit

solid red.

Repeater Mode is best used when weak signals are

detected on Pull Connects in Endpoint mode or a

connection cannot be made because the endpoints are

too far apart or blocked.

It is recommended, no more than two Pull Connects in

Repeater Mode be added to the system. Adding more

than two Pull Connects between endpoints will start

adding noticeable delay into the system.

1. Before setting up a Pull Connect in Repeater Mode,

check that the puller and feeder side Pull Connects

are active and sending out signals.

2. Identify a clear, dry place, off the ground between

the feeder and puller to place the Pull Connect. The

magnets allow for the Pull Connect to attach to a

metal support, equipment or table. For the best

performance, do not place Pull Connect on the

ground or in direct sunlight. If a unit has to be in the

sun, avoid laying unit at.

NOTICE To reduce the risk of electronics damage and

reduced performance/product life, keep Pull Connect

units more than 6ft (2m) apart after channel is selected.

3. Press and hold the Power Button for 4 seconds (Fig.

14). All the LEDs on the Pull Connect will light up

and then turn Off leaving the Power Status LED solid

green.

See Troubleshooting Tables if Power Status LED is

solid or ashing red. The unit does not begin to listen

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualiﬁed

repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualied personnel could result in

a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts

or failure to follow maintenance instructions may

create a risk of electric shock or injury.

• Do not perform any service or maintenance

other than as described in this manual. Personal

injury or damage to the tool may result.

Cleaning

Make sure that all lights are clean and visible at a distance.

Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean the device.

Wipe the device with a water damp cloth. Allow to dry

completely before turing ON and using.

• Do not attempt to open the tool. It contains no

user-serviceable parts.

If the lowest segment of the battery icon is ashing

rapidly, the battery is low and needs to be charged. When

charging, each segment will go from ashing to solid as

the battery charge level increases. When the battery

is fully charged, all three segments will be solid green.

(Fig.18)

To charge, plug the power cord into the port marked with

the lightning bolt (Fig.19) then plug into a wall socket

using a USB wall adapter. The Pull Connect can be

operated while charging but the time to full charge will

be extended.

If the product fails to charge or turns off unexpectedly,

refer to Troubleshooting section. Do not attempt to open

the Pull Connect to change the battery.

Charging

Figure 19Figure 18

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to ﬁre

or excessive temperature. Exposure to re or

temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause

explosion.

• Do not charge tool if wet or in a wet

environment. Moisture near electronics increases

the risk of a short circuit causing a re.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not

charge the battery pack or tool outside

the temperature range speciﬁed in the

speciﬁcations. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may

damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

• Recharge only with the charger speciﬁed by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a risk of re when

used with another battery pack.
