2. APPLICATION RANGE
2.1) The tool HT131-UC is supplied with the AU130-C adaptor, which will accept the semi-circular
slotted dies (common to Cembre 130 kN tooling) suitable for:
–Indentation on copper conductors
–Circular Compression on copper conductors.
–Hexagonal compression on copper, aldrey or aluminium conductors.
2.2) With the upper adaptor AU130-... and lower adaptor AC130-P, the tool HT131-U or HT131-UC
can accept:
– Pre-rounding dies UP 130-...
(used for converting aluminium sectoral conductor to a compact, round section).
–Containing dies (MV, MVC, MVM, MUA series) and the relevant Indentors PS130-.../E
(to crimp connectors on aluminium cables using the deep indent crimping system).
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE (Ref. to Fig. 1, 2 and 3)
Instruction for use are referring to the tool featuring an AU130-C adaptor but they are completely
suitable also for tool equiped with AU130-... and AC130-P adaptors (regardless of selected dies).
3.1) Setting
With the tool is in rest position operate as follows:
– Select the appropriate die set for the connector.
– Insert the die set (88 and 89) into the head, as § 4.3.
– Insert the conductor in the connector.
– Position the connector between the dies and ensure the correct location of the crimp.
3.2) Die advancement
– Set the tool on release position by rotating main handle (04); open the moveable
handle (53).
– Rotate main handle (04) to operating position .
– Operate moveable handle (53) for lower die advancement. This first stage rapidly closes the dies
to the connector.
NEVER PRESSURIZE THE TOOL WITHOUT INSERTING THE DIES AS THIS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE TOOL HEAD AND THE RAM.
Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on desired crimp point, otherwise re-open dies following
instructions as per § 3.4 and position the connector again.

ENGLISH
3.3) Crimping
– Continue operating the moveable handle (53). 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.
3.4) Dies re-opening
– Rotate main handle to release position .
Completely close handles and the die will retract.
3.5) Rest setting
– Completely retract the ram as § 3.4.
– Close handles and rotate main handle to rest position ; the moveable handle will be
locked.
– Store the tool in the plastic case.
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 in to 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 (33) until securely located, with the
grooves on the adaptor corresponding to the locators (34) on the U-fork head (33).
Remove the adaptor by pushing the adaptor off the locators and sliding 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 (30) and insert the lower die (89) into the seat on the ram (28) until
secured by the pin (32). To facilitate this operation an advancement of 15-20 mm (0.59 - 0.79 in.) of
the ram (28) is suggested. To remove the die press the release pin (30) and slide the die from the
ram.

5. CRIMPING OF CONNECTORS ON ALUMINIUM CABLES (Ref. to Fig. 4 and 5)
5.1) Pre-rounding conductor (for sectoral cables)
– From the table (Fig. 9, page 42) select the adaptors and pre-rounding dies for the appropriate
conductor size.
– Insert the upper adaptor AU130-... and AC130-P lower adaptor into the head (see § 5.3).
– Insert the pre-rounding die (94) into the AC130-P adaptor (see § 5.4).
– Position the conductor into the pre-rounding die (95) and locate the pre-rounding die (95) in
the adaptor AU130-... (see § 5.4). Ensure that the pre-rounding die is correctly located in the
adapter with it’s upper slot in line with the internal adapter pins.
– Operate the tool until the dies are fully closed.
Release the hydraulic pressure (see § 3.4) and remove the compacted round conductor.
5.2) Connector crimping
– Remove the pre-rounding dies and the adaptor AC130-P from the tool head (see § 5.4).
– From the table (Fig. 9, page 42) select the containing die and indentor recommended for the
conductor size.
– Insert the indentor PS130.../E into the ram (28) (see § 5.4).
– Insert conductor into the connector; locate the connector into the containing die; locate the
containing die in the adaptor (see § 5.4).
Commence indent crimping from the barrel end for both splices and terminals, following the
sequence shown below.
– For every operation ensure the die is correctly located in the adapter with it’s upper slots in line
with the internal adapter pins.
– Each indenting operation is completed when indentor and die are fully closed;
it is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
"click" is heard (see § 3.3).
5.3) Adaptor fitting and removal
–Insert the upper adaptor AU130-... (98) into the U-fork head (33) until secured by the locators
(34).To remove the adaptor from the U-fork head, push the adaptor from the locators and slide out.

6. WARNING
The tool is robust and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliancewiththefollowingpoints,should helptomaintaintheoptimumperformanceofthetool.
6.1) Accurate cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Every day, after use, the tool must be cleaned with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any residual,
especially close to pivots and moveable parts.
6.2) Storage (Ref. to Fig. 6)
When not in use, thetool should be stored and transported in it's case to prevent damage. Follow-
ing cases are available:
–VALP3 plastic case: size 620x380x135 mm (24.4x14.9x5.3 in.), weight 2,5 kg (5.5 lbs).
–VAL130 steel case: size 360x280x48 mm (14.17x11x1.89 in.), weight 3 kg (6.62 lbs), for storage of
the accessories for crimping aluminium connectors.
6.3) Head rotation
For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate through 180°.
Warning: do not attempt to turn the head if the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
7. MAINTENANCE (Ref. to Fig. 7 and 8)
Air in the hydraulic circuit may affect the performance of the tool; e.g. no lower die advancement,
slow advancement of the lower die; lower die pulsating.
In this case proceed as follows:

8
ENGLISH
7.1) To purge air bubbles from hydraulic circuit
a – Hold tool upright in a vice with handles open (Fig. 7).
b – By an hexagonal 2,5 mm key, remove screw (62) and main handle (04) to expose oil reservoir
(03).
c – Remove reservoir cap (01).
d – Operate three or four times the moveable handle (53), to advance the ram (28).
e – Depress pressure release pin (70) until ram is fully retracted.
f – Repeat points (d -e) at least five times, to ensure all air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit are
purged into the reservoir.
g – If the oil level is low, top up as directed in § 7.2.
h – Remove all air from reservoir and fit cap (01).
i– Assemble main handle (04), and holding screw (62).
If the tool continues to malfunction return the tool for service/repair as detailed in § 8.
7.2) Oil top up
Every six months check the oil level in the reservoir. If necessary, top up the oil level to the top lip
of the reservoir and remove all air from the reservoir, see 7.1, points a, b, c,e, g, hand i.
Always use clean recommended oil, see § 1.
Do not use old or recycled oil.
Do not use hydraulic brake fluid.
Ensure that disposal of used oil is in accordance with current legislation.

au repère fixe (voir Fig. 1).
Repère de repos: c'est la position où l'outil doit être au repos.
Le bras mobile (53) est bloqué.
Repère de décompression: l'outil à cette position, en amenant et
maintenant le bras mobile (53) contre le bras principal (04) relache sa
pression et ouvre ainsi les matrices.
Repère de travail: l'outil à cette position, en actionnant le bras mobile
(53), permet la montée en pression et la fermeture des matrices.
– Avance rapide: l'outil passe automatiquement de la vitesse rapide d'approche des matrices, à la
