7.0 OVERVIEW OF OPERATING MODES
The WTT-110 can be set to operate in one of two distinct operating modes: Peak Capture or Average. In Peak Capture Mode, the system measures the force at a fre­quency of 1000 Hz (1000 times per second) and displays the highest force measure­ment. The peak value remains on the display until a higher force value is measured or until the user presses the ZERO key.
In Average Measurement Mode, the system measures the force at a frequency of 1000 Hz (1000 times per second) and displays the average each time the display is updated. The factory default display update rate is 3 times per second (1 time every 1/3 second).
Note: Refer to Advanced Setting, section 10, page 10, for additional information and to change the update rate.
8.0 C
HANGING UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
The WTT-110 can display force measurements in any of the following theree engineer­ing units:
lbf (pounds)
N (Newtons)
Kgf (kilograms)
To change the selected engineering units for display press UNITS key. Each time the key is pressed, the units will change from one to the other as follows:

12.0 CALIBRATION
The WTT-110 Pull Tester has been calibrated in accordance with factory proceedures and is certified to perform within the stated accuracy specifications shown in the Specifications section found on page 18. Assuming the unit is handled with care and operated as detailed in this manual it should remain accurate for an extended time period. If however, it is subjected to forces that exceed its maximum range or if it is not properly cared for, it might need to be recalibrated.
It is recommended that the calibration is verified at least on an annual basis and more frequently if feasible. Normally, instruments of this type go out of tolerance from one day to the next and rarely on a regular periodic basis.
A calibration procedure is provided in this manual, however it should only be per­formed by individuals properly trained for this type of service and with the appropriate certified standards (known weights or secondary force measuring system such as a load cell, etc.).
Re-Calibration Set-up
1. Remove the lever by unscrewing it in a counter-clockwise direction and move the Wire Clamp assembly out from the path of the hanging sample.
2. Position the WTT-110 in a vertical position so that the keypad & display are at the top (refer to photo). Be sure to secure it so it can not topple over when the weight is attached.
3. Using a heavy-duty monofilament (fishing line), wire or similar, suspend a 50 Kg weight from one of the teeth on the wire terminal fixture by hooking a loop of the material over the selected tooth.
4. Temporarily, remove the weight and follow the Re-Calibration Procedures shown on page 16.
Make sure that the
WTT-110 is well secured in the vertical position.
Caution
Select a material that is strong
enough to support 50 Kg of weight.

9.0 GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Press On/Off key. During power-up, the WTT-110 performs a self-test routine.
During this procedure, the maximum capacity of the system will be temporarily displayed in selected units of measurement. Then the unit should display zero. Occasionally the last one or two digits might be something other then zero. Additionally, the selected units will be shown.
2. Select the desired operation mode. To set for Peak Capture Mode, press the PEAK
key once. The peak indicator will be shown on the display when the system is set for peak capture mode (highest value measured and stored until reset to zero). To set for Average Mode, make sure the peak indicator is not shown. Press the PEAK key until indicator is no longer illuminated. In this mode, the display is constantly updated 3 times per second .
Note: The Display Update Rate can be set to update 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 or 20 times per second (5 times per second = 0.2 seconds). Refer to Advanced Setting, section
10.4, page 11 for additional information and to change the update rate.
3. It is necessary to zero-set (“tare”) the WTT-110 before starting each force measure-
ment. Press the ZERO key for this purpose. The ZERO key is also used for clearing the currently stored Peak value from display memory whenever desired.
4. Select the smallest suitable slot in the
Wire Terminal Fixture based on the diameter of the wire and the physical dimensions of the connector. Rotate the fixture so the selected slot is in the 3 o’clock position so it is closest to the Wire Clamp Fixture.
5. Place the cable connection into the
fixture such that the main part of the connector is retained on the inside of the fixture and the sleeve and cable will pass through the slot toward the Wire Clamp Fixture. When pulling on the cable, the terminal should be well secured.

6. Insert the free end of the cable using a small amount of tension into the Wire Clamp Fixture and rotate the handle clockwise until the cable is clamped between the two metal surfaces.
You are now ready to begin the pull test.
7. Continue to rotate the lever clockwise. The pull force on the
terminal connection will continue to increase as the lever is rotated.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF THIS UNIT (110 lbs/50 Kg/500N) OR DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
8. Eventually, the cable will pull out
from the terminal connection. The test is now complete. If set for Peak Capture Mode (refer to Overview of Operating Modes, page 6), the peak force value will be stored in the display memory. If set for Average Mode, the display would have been updated throughout the test cycle.
9. To perform another test, repeat the steps detailed above. If operating in Peak
Capture Mode, be sure to press the ZERO key to delete the previously stored peak value.

9.10 Additional Operating Information Low Battery
When battery charge is low, the LO BAT indicator will blink on and off in the LCD Display indicating that the batteries need to be charged. Charging time of fully depleted batteries is approximately 18 hours when the unit is off. The adapter/charger automatically shuts off when the battery is at full charge to protect the battery. The adapter/charger can be used to power the unit during battery charging, but this will lengthen the charging time. Refer to Charging the Battery, section 4, page 4, for additional information.
Auto Power Off
If the gauge is on and there is no activity for 10 minutes, the unit will automati­cally power off to conserve battery charge. PWR appears above the display digits to notify that there is 1 minute before power off. If the adapter/charger is power­ing the gauge, auto power off function becomes inactive.
Temperature Compensation
The WTT-110 utilizes a built-in temperature compensation system to provide optimum accuracy and to prevent signal drift. If the user would like to disable this feature, please refer to the Advanced Settings section on page 10.
