Thank you for choosing one of our high quality instruments. Please read the entire operation manual thoroughly before using this instrument for
the first time. The information contained herein will help you to achieve accurate and reproducible results and to avoid misuse or damages.
This instrument is designed for measuring tensile strength of soldered or solder-free (crimped) cable joints with end sleeves, pins, solder pins or
similar wire terminal components in the field of quality control or design validation.
1. Safety Precautions
The load cell can be damaged if the measuring system is overloaded. The maximal measuring range limit of 1000N
(100kg/220lb) must not be exceeded.
Transport and store the instrument with care. This reduces the risk of damage to the load cell, caused by accidental
mechanical effects.
Operate the instrument in appropriate environments only. The instrument is equipped with a temperature compensation for
5°...40°C. Use the instrument in this temperature range only.
Very frequent use of the motorized pull tester FMT-W40(higher 1 test cycle per minute) may lead to overheating of the motor. A
overheat protection is implemented; nevertheless you may use the instrument in environments up to 30°C (86°F) only.
Due to the nature of the material small particles may occur in the moment of the tensile break of wires. You may wear
protection glasses and protection gloves in order to prevent injuries.
Don’t touch during the pull test or while the roller cam returns to its home position the rotating parts of the instrument. Do not
take your hand into the gap between the cable, the terminal adapter and clamp cam. In spite of the low speed or the manual
operation of the lever you may injure yourself.
2. General Information
2.1 Scope of Supply, unpacking and Setting Up
The scope of supply consists of:
Measuring instrument with integrated electronics
Hand lever or roller grip
USB Interface cable for optional software FMT-W_Connect
CD with software FMT-W_Connect (without license key)
Operation manual
24V DC power supply (Part. no.: FMT-958) for motorized pull tester FMT-W40
Remove the transportation cover and position the main instrument on a level, stable surface. The surface should be clean and grease-free, so
that the instrument does not slip. Please bear in mind that the instrument weighs approximately 14 kg.
Please retain the transport packing in case you would like to return the instrument for the recommended annual recalibration.
2.2 Ernergy Harvesting (manual pull tester FMT-W30 only)
The instrument utilizes, also when turned off, the ambient light at the work place as energy source and charges an internal
storage, to ensure that tests can be made even if the solar cell is covered for a short while. After storing the instrument for
more than 2 month in the dark, you should expose it at least for 8 hours in regular working environment (> 250 Lux) before
use.
2.3 Attach the 24V DC power supply (motorized pull tester FMT-W40 only)
The motorized pull tester FMT-W40 is delivered with universal power supply for 110-220VAC (50/60Hz) and power cords with EU-plug and US-
plug. Choose the power cord accordingly and connect first the DC plug into the socket on the rear side of the instrument. Then you may connect
the power cord to your wall socket or AC power net.
The power consumption is related to the operation state of the motor, the 3A power supply delivers always enough energy to generate the
action. You may not replace it by any other power supply but the delivered one (Part no.: FMT-958). In case you do not utilize the instrument for a
longer period, you may disconnect from the power net in order to prevent waste of energy in standby mode.

3.3 Preparing the measurement
Select the smallest slot suitable for the test sample diameter and rotate the fixture so the selected slot is in
the 3 o’clock position, closest to the wire clamp fixture.
Place the cable connection into the adapter, so that the sleeve of the cable connector stays securely inside
the ring and cannot be pulled out through the slot.
The wire clamp fixture should be positioned in the full open position.
The manual pull tester needs a free length of the cable off minimum 14cm (5.5“), the motorized version a
length of 10cm (4“).
Soft cable coatings may slide through the clamp fixture or be pulled out of the crimp sleeve. In this case
please cut off the coating in 4cm to 8cm (2...3“) distance to the cable joint under test.

By pressing the I-Button you start the
measurement, the symbol of the measuring
dimension (N) flashes and the instrument
performs an AUTO-TARA to reset.
Insert the free end of the cable using a small
amount of tension in the wire clamp fixture.
The groove in the fixture helps to align the
cable properly. Now close the clamp by
pulling the lever.
As you continue to pull the hand lever slowly,
the tensile force increases, which works upon
the cable as a retention force. An additional
tensile force develops, which works upon the
cable connection.

As you continue to pull the hand lever slowly,
the tensile force increases, which works upon
the cable as a retention force. An additional
tensile force develops, which works upon the
cable connection.
The peak value, which mostly appears before
the connection snaps up, is captured at
1000Hz and is indicated in the display.
After 5 seconds of unchanged measuring
values, the instrument stops the
measurement automatically and the letter
„S“ flashes in the display indicates that you
might save the data.

With the manual pull tester FMT-W30 you can save the
test result by pressing the S-Button as long as the unit
symbol (N) flashes and the letter „S” in the main
display prompts the memory. Two short beeps
indicate that the value is stored. After saving the value
the display is resetted to 0.0 and you can start the
next test by pressing the I-Button.
(With the motorized version FMT-W40 you may save a
value at any time by pressing the S-Button. The
measuring mode will not be stopped at this point but
after the drive has returned to its home position.)

3.6 Start measuring (AutoTara) with motorized pull tester FMT-W40
I
>>
By pressing the I-Button you start the
measurement, the symbol of the measuring
dimension (N) flashes and the instrument
performs an AUTO-TARA to reset. Now the
motor starts with the setted pull speed.
If the minimal force of the automatic break
detection (activate with P18) is not reached
the cable clamp rotates to its maximum
position and returns to the home position. If
you press the I-button during the
measurement it also returns to its home
position and the measuring will be stopped.
If a setted force limit is reached an adjustable
dwell time starts. (Default 0s). After the dwell
time the drive either returns to ist home
position or tears the cable until it breaks
depending on the chosen operation mode.
An automatic break detection (activate with
P18) becomes active if 25% of the force limit
(minimum tensile strength) (P3) or a force of
40N is reached. If the actual measured force
falls below this level the cable clamp returns
to its home position and the measuring will
be stopped.
>>>
By pressing the S-button during the
measurement (unit flashes) you can save the
value to the memory. Two short beeps
indicate that the value is prompted.
The indicated value can be saved to the
memory only once.
3.7 Automatic memorizing of measured values with motorized pull tester FMT-W40
The motorized pull tester FMT-W40 is able to memorize the measured values automatically. The memory function has to be activated (submenu
P21=1), and the submenu P22 defines one of three possibilities to capture the value. You may choose to memorize the force value:
While reaching the force limit (minimum tensile strength) or start of the dwell time; (1)
At the end of the dwell time; (2)
At the break; (3)
or not automatically; (0)
See also chapter 6 for detailed information. All settings can also be done via USB using FMT-W_Connect software.

8. Maintenance and calibration
This instrument is maintenance-free under proper use. Torn parts of wire must not fall into the spaces
around the connection adapter; should this occur, blow them off or remove them using the vacuum cleaner.
Force gauges should be inspected and re-calibrated on a regular base, at least once a year. Our calibration
services comprise the inspection, and calibration according ISO 9001:2008 approved procedures and a
readjusting of the load cell if necessary. (E-mail address: [email protected]).
8.1 5-Years extended warranty
We grant for all Alluris force gauges a 5 years extended warranty period starting with the date of purchase, subject to the registration of the
device before it is taken into operation and the service and calibration at regular intervals in our calibration laboratory. Consumption material,
normal wear and tear as well as damages caused by improper use are excluded from this warranty. Apart from that the warranty clause of our
general conditions of sales and delivery are valid.

9.0 Trouble shooting (FAQ)
Does the instrument work also after a
being stored in the dark for a longer
period?
Yes. Even after a self discharging of the internal energy storage the instrument can be used immediately. A back-
up battery saves guaranties the basic function of the device; see chap. 2.3.
The instrument shows already minute
values before the cable is fixed!
The electronic captures minute changes after taring and those are shown in the PEAK display (<1,5N). This does
not affect the accuracy of measurement as the PEAK register is refreshed always with the highest captured value
while pulling off the terminal.
The peak value cannot be saved because
the display shows 0,0 after the break!
You may have changed the mode from PEAK measurement with dragging function to steady update of the actual
value (PEAK symbol disapears). Delete the memory by pressing the 0-Button and change the mode back to PEAK
with dragging function by pressing the S-Button until the PEAK symbol shows up.
The instrument shows no consistent
values!
Please pay attention to torn parts of wire in the spaces around the connection adapter; should this occur, blow
them off or remove them using the vacuum cleaner..
The display shows “OvErL“! The load exceeds the maximum range. Release the load and inspect the instrument. If no consistent value is
shown it might be necessary to replace the load cell.
The USB connection is interrupted! Please check whether FMT-W_Connect incl. the USB driver is installed and the USB-ports can be used.
The display does not light up and the drive
does not run.
Please check power connection. In case of drive failure (e.g. overheating) the red LED beside the DC socket will be
illuminated. Switch the instrument off, and wait appr. 15min until the drive cooled down and all capacitors
discharged. If the LED still lights up when switching on the instrument please contact our technical service.
A loud vibrating sound occurs but the
clamping device does not turn and the pull
force does not increase.
They drive might be blocked and overloaded! Switch the instrument off and remove the blockage. Restart the
instrument, the clamping device will return to its home position.
The measuring does not start immediatly
after pressing the I-button.
The drive performs a reference run (very slow speed) after switching the instrument on or after a measuring cycle.
The buzzer has no sound! Please check whether the buzzer is activated (submenu P17=1) and a limit is setted.
The clamping device returns to its home
pos, although the joint did not break or
the limit is not reached.
The real time force slipped under 25% of the setted maximal force limit (e.g. the cable coating slides or peels off)
or the limit switch for the final position of the clamping device was reached.
The cable slides through the clamping
device or the coat peels off!
Remove the cable coating in 4 to 8cm distance to the cable joint. (See also chapter 3.3).
10.0 Accessories (Exchangable terminal fixtures)
The scope of supply comprises a standard terminal adapter, premounted in our works. If your testing material requires special adapters for the
terminal of your cable, you may find one of the options below useful. In order to change the rotating adapter easily you place a 4mm pin or M4
screw (max. 25mm (1”)) into the hole and rotated it to a 3 o’clock position. Now the rotation is blocked and you are able to open the screw in the
center. Replace the terminal adapter and tighten the screw before your release the pin or M4 screw.
