3.2) Die advancement
– Insert the conductor into the connector.
– Locate the connector between the dies at the desired crimp position.
– Operate the pump until the dies touch each other.
Never pressurize the head without inserting the dies as this could cause damage to the head
and the ram.
Make sure that dies are exactly positioned on the area to be crimped; otherwise re-open
dies following instructions as per § 3.4 and re-position the connector.
3.3) Crimping
Operate the pump to advance the main ram until the dies are fully closed.
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
"click" is heard.
3.4) Dies opening
Fully release the oil pressure from the pump, to retract the ram and release the crimped connector.
4. CRIMPING OF CONNECTORS ON COPPER CABLES (Ref. to Fig. 2 and 3)
4.1) Connector crimping
– Fit adaptor AU130-C (see § 4.2).
– Select the appropriate die set for the connector.
– Insert die set into upper and lower die holders (see § 4.3).
– Insert the conductor in the connector.
– Position the connector between the dies and ensure the correct location of the crimp.
– To crimp connector continue as § 3.2.
4.2) Adaptor assembly
Insert the AU130-C (90) adaptor in the guides on the U-fork (14) until securely located, with the
grooves on the adaptor corresponding to the locators (15) on the U-fork head (14).
Remove the adaptor by pushing it off the locators and sliding it from the head.
4.3) Dies assembly
4.3.1) Press release button (86) and insert the upper die (88) into the AU130-C adaptor (90) until
secured by the die retaining pin (87).
To remove the upper die, press the release button (86) and slide the die from the adaptor (90).
4.3.2) Press the release pin (12) and insert the lower die (89) into the seat on the ram (09) until
secured by the pin (11). To remove the die press the release pin (12) and slide the die from the ram.
To facilitate this operation an advancement of 3-4 mm (0.11 - 0.16 in.) of the ram (09) is suggested.
