FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

FOREWORD

Porter-Cable Model BN200V12 is a heavy duty, cordless, pneumatic brad nailer. It is designed to install 18 ga. brad nails of various lengths from 3/4" to 2". The tool comes equipped with Porter-Cable exclusive Twin Power Source Technology (TPS)™, utilizing a built in, battery powered, air compressor with Energy Management Control Circuit (Emc²)™, or it can be used with a standard shop air compressor. It also has a user selectable multi-position switch, built in pressure relief valve, and electronic self diagnostic LED display. Tool is operational after only five seconds of pressure build up time and can fire up to one nail per second.

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on self contained, battery powered, internal compressed air or compressed air provided by an External source. A four position switch is provided for operation settings. Internal air “HIGH” pressure position set point provides the most power for the most demanding driving applications. Internal air “NORMAL” pressure position set point provides the most commonly used power range for most driving applications, and is the preferred setting for internal compressor cycling and battery life. The “OFF” position disables the tool and, through internal mechanical linkage, opens the internal pressure relief valve. As an added safety feature, the tool will automatically shut off if the pressure relief valve remains open beyond three minutes or if the tool remains idle for more than two hours. In either case the switch must be moved to the “OFF” position and then to another setting. “EXT AIR” (external) provides alternate shop air capability, if desired. If compressed shop air is used, it needs to be clean, dry, and regulated at pressures between 70 and 120 PSI (4.8 to 8.3 BAR) (Pounds per Square Inch). The shop air system should include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet is ideal).
