PT-150H
WIRE CRIMP PULL TESTER
1. SAFETY
The Alphotron PT-150H Wire Crimp Pull Tester is a force
measurement device, and operators should wear safety glosses for
eye protection because foreign objects con be thrown from the
piece under test.
To prevent fire and shock hazard, do not expose this
equipment to moisture. Always unplug the AC line cord prior to
servicing.
½ exceed the roted force capacity (150 lb., 68 kg) of
the PT-150H. The unit may be domoged, and the operator or
others in the immediate vicinity injured under extreme force
conditions.
2. SETUP
The Alphotron PT-150H is shipped from the factory assembled,
calibrated, and tested. For best results, users should familiarize
themselves with the setup and operation of the unit before placing
it in service.
To operate, set the PT-150H on a flat, level surface in a
horizontal position. To prevent damage to the force sensing device,
handle the unit by the base plate only. Six mounting holes in the
base ore provided to permanently bolt it in position, if desired.
NOTE: The rubber feet in the base plate need to be removed if
permanent mounting is desired.
3. OPERATION
With the switch on the left side of the unit turned off, plug
the PT-150H into o 115VAC or appropriate outlet. Turn the zero
knob fully clockwise, ond turn the power switch to the on position.
The display will light up and display the message "ALPHATRON
WARMING UP". After one minute, the message "ADJUST ZERO" will
appear. Slowly turn the zero knob counter clockwise until the
display reads 000.0. It is important to stop turning the knob as
soon as the 000.0 value Is reached. The unit will automatically
begin on internal self test to verify the accuracy of the tool. The
unit will display the following message sequence during the
automatic test depending on the outcome of the test.
"CALIBRATING" followed by "CALIBRATION OK" if the unit posses the
test, or "CALIBRATING" followed by "CONTACT DMC" if the test foils.
If the test foils, turn the unit off, and repeat the start up
sequence. Continuing to turn the zero knob ofter reaching 000.0
during the self test will cause the test to foil. If the internal test
foils repeatedly return the tool to DMC for repair/calibration.
WARNING: The internal calibration self test is o reliable verification
of accuracy but it
DOES NOT
assure traceability to NIST.
Select the proper size slot, and place the crimped terminal
end of the wire sample into the rear slotted grip so that wire
posses thru, but the terminal is captivated. Use the lever on the
forward self tightening grip to open it. Then place the free end of
the wire between the com wheels, and release the lever, so that
the wire is gripped.
Pull the operating lever forward in a slow and
consistent motion The indicator will begin to display the amount of
force exerted on the crimp. As the force is increased the display
will continue to update the reading until the force is no longer
increasing. (Usually this is the point at which the crimp is pulled
loose, or the
wire
breaks.) If you reach 1501b and the crimp hos
not yet foiled do not apply more force to the handle. Do not test
crimps that require more than 1501b test load.
Upon completion of the test, release the wire and press the
reset button on the right side of the unit prior to the next test.
Best results are obtained with the PT-150H using a slow,
consistent motion when pulling the lever. A quick, or hesitant
motion can cause the wire to slip within the forward cams and the
terminal also may become unseated from within the slots of the
rear grip.

5. SffilNG OF DIP SWITCHES
The PT-1 SOH is capable of making measurements in
any of the following units: Pounds (lb), Kilograms (Kg),
Newtons (N). To change the units displayed the dip
switches inside of the unit need to be accessed. This is
done by using o small screwdriver to flip switches through
the access hole on the left side of the unit. The dip
switch set that needs to be changed is labeled SW2 on the
instruction label. The switches that need to be changed
ore labeled 2 & 3. DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER SWITCHES!

The PT-1 SOH is also capable of displaying either the
peak reading achieved during a test, or continuously
displaying the reading on the load cell whether it increases
or decreases. Peak Hold is the factory setting. The
switch that needs to be changed is labeled 4.
