OPERATION

PREOPERATION PROCEDURES

CONNECT HOSES

1.If the RV06 is to be used on or near electrical lines, both of the hoses used to connect the RV06 to the intensifier must be labeled and certified non-con- ductive (see Hose Recommendations). Both pres- sure and return hoses must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 10,000 psi/690 bar.

2.Make certain that all fittings, connectors, and quick couplers used to make connections with the RV06 and the intensifier are rated for 10,000 psi/690 bar.

3.It is a good practice to connect return hoses first and disconnect them last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure within the tool or hoses.

4.Wipe all hoses and couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth before making connections.

5.Connect the hoses on the RV06 to the high-pres- sure outlet and return port of the intensifier.

6.Observe the marking on the end of the RV06 and the intensifier: P is the pressure inlet port of the RV06 and should be connected to the P (pressure outlet) port of the intensifier. The T (tank or return) port of the RV06 should be connected to the T port of the intensifier.

7.Tighten all connections securely.

CONNECTING A TOOL TO THE RV06

The RV06 can be used to control the actuation of both single and double-acting compression and crimping tools, cutters, high-pressure lifting devices and rebar benders. Tool connection to the RV06 can be accom- plished in three ways:

1.A combination of high-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar) hose and couplers.

2.High-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar) couplings only.

NOTE:

In order to use couplings only, it is necessary that the spacing of the pressure and return ports of a double-acting tool align exactly with the pressure and return ports of the RV06.

3. High-pressure (10,000 psi/690 bar) hose only.

The RV06 is ported at both ends with a 1/4 in. female NPT ports. When using Teflon® tape as a sealant be careful not to allow the tape to enter the intensifier, RV06, or tools connected to the RV06. Contamina- tion may disable the intensifier, RV06, or the tool.

CONNECTING A DOUBLE-ACTING TOOL

A double-acting tool is any tool using hydraulic power for both the advance and retract modes. Connect the advance port of the tool to the advance port (marked A) of the RV06. Connect the retract port of the tool to the retract port (marked B) of the RV06.

Figure 2. Connecting the RV06 to a Double-Acting Tool

A single-acting tool is any tool using hydraulic power for the advance mode and a spring for the retract modes. Single-acting tools use a single connection to the RV06.

Single-acting tools connect to the RV06 in a way similar to double-acting tools. Only the advance port (marked A) of the RV06 is used to connect to the tool. The return port (marked B) is plugged with a 1/4 in. male NPT plug.
