2.1) Setting
The head is equipped with a "self-lock" quick male coupler suitable for connection to a hydraulic,
pneumatic or electrical pump from the CEMBRE range.
For a given connector select and install the appropriate die set (see § 3).
2.2) Die advancement
– Insert the conductor into the connector.
– Locate the connector between the dies at the desired crimp position.
– Operate the pump to advance the die.
Never place the head under pressure without inserting the dies, as this could cause damage
to the head and the ram.
Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on desired crimp point, otherwise re-open dies
following instructions as per § 2.4 and position the connector again.
2.3) Crimping
Operate the pump to advance the ram until the die faces touch.
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
"click" is heard.
2.4) Die opening
Fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump, to retract the ram and release the crimped connector.
