INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
RHC131LN-KV
is equipped with a "self-lock" quick male coupler suitable for connection to a hydraulic
pump containing insulating oil from the
Cembre
range.
2.1) Setting
Select the appropriate die set for the connector to be crimped.
Insert the die (91) into the upper seat of the head (FIG. 1) until secured by the retaining pin (07).
To ease the die insertion keep release pin (03) depressed.
Insert the die (90) into the seat on the ram until secured by the retaining pin (06).
To ease this operation, operate the pump to advance the ram (02) 15-20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in.) and
keep release pin (05) depressed.
2.2) Insulated fl exible hose connection
(FIG. 2)
RHC131LN-KV
is supplied with a specifi c fl exible insulated hose to connect it to the pump.
The moveable ring nut (06) must be used to protect the quick couplers connection from accidental
contact with live conductors.
To connect the fl exible hose:
Turn the moveable ring nut (06) up against the head to locate the quick coupler (FIG. 2a).
Connect the fl exible hose provided to quick coupler of the head (FIG. 2b).
Fully rotate the ring nut (06) up against the collar (20) at the end of the hose (FIG. 2c).
Before using the head, make sure that the ring nut (06) is fully against the collar (20) of the
fl exible hose (FIG. 2c)
2.3) Die advancement
Insert the conductor into the connector (FIG. 3).
Locate the connector between the dies at the desired crimp position (FIG. 4).
Operate the pump to advance the die.
Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on the desired crimp point, otherwise re-open dies
following instructions as per section 2.5 and reposition the connector.
2.4) Crimping
Operate the pump to advance the ram until the die faces touch.
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve of the pump is
activated.
NOTE
: when more com-
pression is required, proceed
according to the sequence
and direction indicated in the
fi gure, uniformly spacing the
compressions.
2.5) Die opening
Fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump, to retract the ram and release the crimped con-
nector.
