Model WT3-201M Motorized Wire Crimp Pull Tester User’s Guide
14 BREAK DETECTION
The break detection function senses when the wire-terminal separation occurs. A break is defined as a
force increasing beyond a configured force threshold, then decreasing to 2 lbF (or equivalent value in
other units). Upon detection of the break, the tester can stop and return at full speed to the Home
position, if Auto Return is enabled.
The tester can perform a number of additional automatic functions upon sample break, further described
in the Auto Settings section.
Break detection functions and settings are configured from a central location, and apply to any mode in
which it is enabled. Refer to the Operating Modes section for details on configuring each mode.
