2SAFETY

The following safety checks and procedures should be performed before and during operation:

1. Always consider the characteristics of the sample being tested before initiating a test. A

risk assessment should be carried out beforehand to ensure that all safety measures have been

addressed and implemented.

2. Wear eye and face protection when testing. Be aware of the dangers posed by potential

energy that can accumulate in the sample during testing. Extra bodily protection should be worn if

a destructive failure of a test sample is possible.

3. Keep away from moving parts of the tester. Loose articles of clothing should not be worn.

Long hair should be covered to avoid a hazardous situation.

4. In those applications which could lead to a hazardous situation, use of a machine guard

is strongly recommended.

5. When the tester is not in use, ensure that the power is turned off to prevent accidental

engagement of any of the controls.

Safety features provided by this tester may be impaired if it is not used in a manner not specified

by Mark-10.

3SETUP

3.1 Mechanical Setup

3.1.1 Assembly

The tester is shipped completely assembled.

3.1.2 Mounting and placement

Place the tester on a clean, flat and level work area free from vibration. If desired, the tester can be

secured to the work area with four 1/4-20 screws fastened into the threaded holes in the underside of the

base (depth of 0.5 in. [12 mm]).

Ensure that the rear of the tester is easily accessible, so that the power cord can be disconnected in an

emergency.

3.1.3 Installing the ring terminal fixture or blank terminal fixture

To install or uninstall the standard terminal fixture or optional fixture, loosen the screw in the center of the

fixture, remove, place the other fixture in the receptacle, and re-tighten the screw. Keep away from metal

particles that may have originated from testing samples, as there are magnets located inside the terminal

fixtures.

Model WT3-201M Motorized Wire Crimp Pull Tester User’s Guide

3.1.4 Sample setup

1. Secure the terminal into the standard terminal fixture or optional ring terminal fixture, as

shown in the images below. Rotate the fixtures until the desired slot or ring size is aligned with

the cam mechanism adjacent to the lever.

2. Insert the loose end of the wire between the cams in the mechanism. Keep the wire taut

as it is inserted. If auto-start is enabled, the test will begin when the switch is activated (refer to

later sections for operational details). Refer to the image below:

3. Note the protective red safety guard (circled, below), which automatically rotates into

position as the cam mechanism closes.

3.2 Connections and Outputs

1. I/O Connector

RS-232, set point, analog, Mitutoyo, and other outputs are provided. Refer to the

Communications and Outputs section for details.

2. Fuse

3. Power Switch

Use to turn power on and off.

4. Power Plug Receptacle

Plug the power cord in here. Refer to the Connecting power sub-section for important safety

information.

5. USB Connector

Plug the USB cable in here, for data output to a PC, PLC, printer, etc.

3.3 Installing the USB driver

If communicating via USB, install the USB driver available at: www.mark-10.com/resources

Caution!

Install the USB driver before physically connecting the tester to a PC with the USB cable.

Further instructions for configuring and using the tester’s outputs are provided in the Communications

and Outputs section.

Model WT3-201M Motorized Wire Crimp Pull Tester User’s Guide

3.4 Connecting power

Plug one end of the power cord into its receptacle at the rear of the tester and the other end into a wall

outlet with local earth ground (3-prong connector).

Before turning on power, the following safety checks and procedures should be performed:

1. Never operate the tester if there is any visible damage to the power cord or the tester

itself. The WT3-201M is powered by 100-240VAC. Any contact with this high voltage can cause

serious injury or even death.

2. Ensure that the tester is kept away from water or any electrically conductive liquids at all

times.

3. Make sure the electrical outlet powering the tester has local earth ground (3-prong

connector).

4. The tester should be serviced by a trained technician only. Power must be disconnected

before disassembly.

5. Never use a detachable mains supply cord with inadequate ratings.

After the above safety checks and procedures have been performed, the tester may be powered on and

is ready for operation.
