and automatically complete the cycle.
Releasing the switch will not stop the tool
once it has locked on. This assures con-
sistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
If tool must be removed before a con-
nection is completed, depress the pres-
sure release button (Figure 1). Any time
release button is depressed, press is
NOT complete and the connection must
be pressed again to ensure completion. If
the tool malfunctions during operation,
use this procedure.
4. Release the run switch.
5. Squeeze jaw arms to open jaws.
6. Remove jaw from fitting. Avoid sharp
edges that may have formed on fitting
during pressing operation.
7 . When operation is complete, depress
On/Off button one time to turn tool OFF.
Remove battery from tool.
Inspecting The Pressed
Connection
1. Inspect the pressed fitting for:
• Full insertion of tube into fitting.
• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. A
slight amount of misalignment at a
pressed connection is considered nor-
mal.
• Incorrect attachment alignment with the
fitting contour. Distorted or deformed
fitting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manufac-
turer. This could include the removal
of a control ring or decal (used to indi-
cate the connection has not yet been
pressed).
If any issues are found, remove fitting
and install a new connection.
2. Test connection in accordance with con-
nector manufacturer instructions, normal
practice and applicable codes.
Bluetooth Functions (Wireless
Data Transfer)
The RIDGID
®
RP 240 Press Tool include Blue -
tooth
®
wireless technology allowing wireless
data transfer to properly equipped smart-
phones or tablets ("devices") running iOS or
Android operating systems.
1. Download the appropriate RIDGID
your device by going to RIDGID.com/apps
999-995-112.08_REV. A
or by going to the Google Play Store or
Apple App Store.
2. When the tool is ON, a Bluetooth wireless
technology equipped device can find and
pair with the press tool.
3. In the Bluetooth settings of your device,
select desired RIDGID tool. Refer to your
device instructions for specific informa-
tion on how to connect via Bluetooth wire-
less technology. Once connected, the
blue tool status light will be solid.
After the initial pairing, most devices will
automatically connect to the Tools when
the Bluetooth wireless technology is ac-
tive and in range. Press tools should be
less than 33 ft. (10 m) from the device to
be detected. Any obstacle between the
tool and device can reduce the opera-
tional range.
4. Follow the app instructions for proper
use. Among other things, the app allows
monitoring of tool cycles and the tool to
be locked to prevent unauthorized use.
5. The wireless data transfer turns OFF
when the press tool is switched OFF.
Turn Bluetooth wireless device OFF to
reduce device battery drain.
Cold Weather Operation
As temperature drops, hydraulic fluid thickens
and battery performance degrades. To reduce
the risk of improper operation, the RP 240
will not operate outside of the specification
temperature range as indicated by the tool
status lights (Figure 4).
When ambient conditions are outside the spec-
ification temperature range, keep the tool and
batteries in a conditioned space until ready
to use.
Storage
Remove battery from tool. Store press tool and
battery in case. Avoid storing in extreme heat or
cold. The tool will not turn ON if the tool is out-
side the specification range. This will be indi-
cated by the tool status lights (see Figure 4).
WARNING
locked area that is out of reach of children
and people unfamiliar with the Press Tools.
The tool is dangerous in the hands of un-
trained users.
