1.0 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the CHECK•LINE WTTM Wire Terminal Pull Tester for
your requirements. With correct use and proper care this product should provide
many years of precise and accurate testing. Please read the entire operation manual
thoroughly before using this instrument for the first time. The information contained
herein will help users to achieve accurate and repeatable results as well as prevent
damage through improper set-up or operation.

This instrument is designed for measuring tensile strength of soldered or solder-free
cable joints with end sleeves, pins, solder pins or similar wire terminal components
in the field of quality control or design validation.

Safety Precautions

Wear appropriate eye protection at all times.

The load cell can be damaged if the internal measuring system is over­loaded. Do not exceed the maximum measuring limit of 50 Kg (110 lbs.,
500N) or 100 Kg (220 lb., 1000N), respectively

Transport and store the instrument with care. This reduces the risk of dam­age to the load cell or other minor mechanical problems which can cause
inaccurate measurement results.

Operate the instrument in appropriate environments only. The instrument
is equipped with a temperature compensation for a temperature range of
32 to 120 °F (0° to 40°C) and should be used in this temperature range
only. Do not expose this device to liquid or operate in high-humidity envi­ronments.

3.0 SETUP

Place the WTTM Wire Terminal Tester on a level and stable work area where the user
can perform the testing in a comfortable manner. The surface should be clean and
grease-free, so that the instrument does not slip.

Make sure that there is no residue from the
pack-aging materials stuck under and around
any of the operating components especially in the
recessed area around the rotating terminal fixture
(see photo). Use of compressed air to clear any
debris from these areas is recommended.

Please note that the instrument weighs approximately 42 pounds (19 kg), so take care
when lifting and moving. We suggest that the instrument be located in close proximity
to an AC-Power outlet.

PERATION

The WTTM must be operated using the AC-Adapter.
