This instrument is designed for measuring tensile strength of soldered or solder-free cable joints with end sleeves, pins, solder pins or similar wire terminal components in accordance with BS, EN, DIN, IEC, UL, SAE and MIL standards.

Test samples are inserted into the receptacle adaptor, which has 12 different slot widths (from 0,5 mm to 6,0 mm), covering all the prevalent wire strengths and terminal types. The traction force is applied by an easy gliding lever system which simultaneously clamps the wire and creates a consistent pull with minimal effort.

The traction force is collected at an accuracy of +/-0,5 % and is shown on the display at a resolution of 0,5 N. The peak value, at which the cable is torn, will be automatically saved in the memory and can be compared with a limiting value.

Optional software allows easy and quick preparation of test reports with statistics and individual results using Microsoft Excel. This software is available in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. This software can also be used to change the measurement range.

The integrated solar cell in the display allows stand-alone operation and is therefore suitable for mobile use.
