HT131LN-C

Cembre HT131LN-C hydraulic cable crimping tool is designed for the introduction/removal of large size compression terminations and joints up to 400sqmm.

The HT131LN-C cable tool features a hydraulic ‘C’ heads and will accept all semi-circular slotted dies, common to most 130 kN tools and has a large 42 mm jaw opening.

This crimping tool features a double speed action giving a fast advancing speed for rapid approach of the dies to the connector and a slower more powerful speed for crimping.

For ease of operation and installer comfort the Cembre HT131LN-C tool head can be fully rotated through 180 degrees enabling crimping in confined or restricted areas including LV-HV switchgear, substations and electrical panels. The built in safety valve also by-pass the oil supply when maximum pressure has been reached.

Cembre HT131LN-C tool has a pressure releasing system that can be easily operated at any stage of the compression and is supplied in a robust plastic case suitable for storage of the crimping tool and 12 sets of dies.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

Setting

With the Cembre HT131LN-C tool in the rest position operate as follows:
Select the appropriate die set for the connector.
Insert the die in the upper seat of the tool head until it is locked by die/head pin
To ease the die insertion, keep die/head release pin depressed
Operate moveable handle to advance the ram 8-10 mm (0.3 – 0.4 in.) and insert the die (90) into the seat on the ram until it is locked by die/ram retaining pin – To ease this operation, keep die/ram release pin depressed
Insert the conductor in the connector
Position the connector between the dies and ensure the correct location of the crimp

Die advancement

Set the tool in the release position by rotating the fixed handle – the moveable handle will be released and the main handle will rotate automatically to the operating position
Operate moveable handle for lower die advancement – this first stage rapidly closes the dies to the connector

Crimping

Continue operating the moveable handle – The tool will automatically change over to the high pressure stage. The ram will advance until the dies meet
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a “click” is heard

Dies re-opening

Rotate the fixed handle to release position Close handles thoroughly: the ram will then retract, with the consequent opening of the dies

Rest setting

Retract thoroughly the ram, operating
Keeping the handles completely closed, release the fixed handle which will rotate automatically to the rest position
The moveable handle will then be locked by means of the handle latch
Store the Cembre HT131LN-C tool in the case

Die replacement To replace dies proceed as follows (Fig 2)

Upper die – Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/head release pin: Insert replacement die until secured by the die/head retaining pin
Lower die – Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/ram release pin Insert replacement die into its guide until secured by the die/ram retaining pin: To facilitate this operation an advancement of the ram by 8-10 mm (0.3 – 0.4 in.) is suggested
