IMPORTANT!
Remember there is a very high press force (130 kN) and also a high oil pressure
(730 Bar) during the crimping sequence.
IMPORTANT!
Do not stop the crimping sequence prior to reaching maximum pressure. An adequate
crimp will not be reached if the crimping sequence is interrupted. There is a distinct signal
when reaching the maximum pressure: a mechanical sound from the pump followed by an
evident reduction of the back pressure in the pump lever.

The crimptools have been designed to meet the needs of electric plants, distributors of electrical energy, power
stations, electrical contractors and similar user categories.
Local law and rules as well as regulations issued by the employer are to be observed when working with the
Elpress’ crimptools V1311-A/V1311C-A.
The hydraulics of the pump have a low pressure and a high pressure system.
At the beginning of the pumping/crimping process, there is a quick feed to the work position by means of the low
pressure system. When the tool movement meets a certain resistance, the high pressure system is automatically
connected to perform the actual crimping.
After a certain pressure a built-in stop valve is activated. Thereafter, the piston can be returned. The return valve
works in such a way that normally the hydraulic system cannot depressurize before the stop valve has been
activated.
A release of the entire hydraulic pressure will follow by bringing the lever outwards
half a pump stroke or so and by turning the handle to the right stop and then
by pressing the lever to a position, where the return valve is operated, thereby
releasing the pressure to open the crimptool.
When holding the pump to high up on the handles, there is a risk of pinch damages.
Insulated conductors should be stripped 5 mm or so beyond the insertion depth. The instructions of the manufactu
-
rer making insulating material should be carefully observed when jointing power cables.
