1. SAFETY

The MPT-250B Wire Crimp Pull Tester is a force
measurement device, and as such should be operated with
due caution. Operators should wear safety glasses for eye
protection because the crimp under test may break suddenly
and fragments may fly off.
Do not overload: The gear motor in the pull tester can
exceed the load limits of the load cell component in this
device. For your protection the MPT-250B has been factory
set to stop if the peak force exceeds 250lb. The unit is set to
automatically stop at readings above 249.9lb.
If the tool becomes inoperable or jammed for any reason,
press the STOP button, then the RESET button to try to
unload the specimen being tested. If this does not correct
the problem, STOP the tool, turn the POWER switch OFF,
unplug the tool and contact DMC.
Intended usage: The MPT-250B is intended to be used to
measure tensile strength of crimped connections from
28AWG to 10AWG wire sizes. It is not intended to be used to
tensile test material coupons, cables, or welded connections.
Typical Workstation: The MPT-250B is typically placed on
a well-lit and sturdy bench with sufficient space around all
sides. It is typically placed at a level so that an operator can
be seated in front of it and comfortably use the tool.
