User Instructions
- When introducing or changing dies, the battery must first be removed from the Cembre B35-45MDE tool.
Preparation
- With the battery crimping tool in the rest position and without battery, proceed as follows:
- Select the appropriate Cembre die set for the connector
- Open the latch and release the upper die holder
- Insert one die into the upper die holder and one die into the lower die support
For indent crimping, the nest MA must be inserted into the upper die holder, and the indentor PA must be inserted into the lower die support.
- Close the latch
- Insert the conductor in the connector
- Position the connector between the dies and ensure the correct location of the crimp
Ensure that the latch and the upper die holder are fully secured, otherwise damage may occur during the Cembre tool operation.
Die Advancement
- Grip the B35-45MDE tool firmly and comfortably and press operating button to activate the motor pump and advance the lower die. To halt the advancement, release the operating button and the motor will cut out.
- Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on the desired crimp point otherwise re-open dies and reposition the connector.
Compression
- By keeping the operating button pressed, the motor continues to operate: the ram will gradually move forward until the two dies touch. It is recommended to keep operating until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a “click” is heard.
- The motor will continue to operate after the maximum pressure relief valve has activated. No further crimping force is applied, the oil is bypassed and returned to the reservoir.
Release of Dies
- Press the pressure release button, the ram will retract and open the dies.
Head Rotation
- For ease of operation the tool head can rotate through 180º, allowing the operator to work in the most comfortable position.
- Warning: Do not attempt to rotate the Cembre tool head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
Replace of Dies
- To replace the crimp tool dies, open the head and extract them from their seats.
Battery Status
- The Cembre battery is equipped with LED indicators that indicate the remaining battery life at any time by pressing the adjacent button.
- 4 LEDs illuminated: Fully charged
- 2 LEDs illuminated: 50% capacity
- 1 LED flashing: Minimum charge, replace the battery.
When the battery voltage has dropped below a minimum safety threshold, the tool will not start, and it is necessary to recharge or replace the battery. The approximate time to fully recharge a battery is about 40 minutes.
Insertion / Replacement of Battery
- To replace the crimp tool battery, remove it by pressing the release button, then insert the new battery, sliding it into the guides until it locks.
