4. CRIMPING OF CONNECTORS ON ALUMINIUM CABLES USING THE DEEP INDENT
CRIMPING SYSTEM (
4.1) Pre-rounding conductor (for sectoral cables) (
From the table on page 6 select the proper AU130-150 or AU130-240 upper adaptor and UP...
pre-rounding die for the appropriate conductor size to be rounded.
Insert the upper adaptor into the head (see § 6.1).
Insert the lower adaptor AC130-P into the ram (see § 6.2).
Insert the lower part of the pre-rounding die (94) into the AC130-P adaptor by pulling the release
button (92).
Position the conductor into the upper part of the pre-rounding die (95) and locate the preround-
ing die in the adaptor AU130-150 or AU130-240.
Ensure that the pre-rounding die is correctly located in the adaptor with its upper slot in
line with the internal adaptor pins.
Operate the tool until the upper and lower part of the pre-rounding die are fully closed, then
release the hydraulic pressure (see § 2.4) and remove the compacted round conductor.
4.2) Connector crimping (
From the table (Fig. 6, page 6) select AU130-... upper adapter, MV... containing die and PS.. inden-
tor recommended for the conductor size.
Insert the upper adaptor AU130-150 or AU130-240 into the head (see § 6.1).
Insert the indentor PS130.../E into the ram (14) (see § 6.2).
Insert conductor into the connector; locate the connector into the MV.. (96) containing die; locate
the containing die in the adaptor AU130-150 or AU130-240.
For every operation ensure the die is correctly located in the adaptor with its upper slots in
line with the internal adaptor pins.
Operate the tool (see § 2.2), commence indent crimping from the barrel end for both splices and
terminals, following the sequence shown below.

Each indenting operation is completed when indentor and die are fully closed, it is recommended
to continue pumping until the motor stops automatically (see § 2.3), then release the hydraulic
pressure by pressing the button (5).
Move the containing die and match another slot in line with the internal adaptor pins and then
proceed with another compression.
