Operation
To operate the PT5, first turn on the power. This is done with the power switch on the back.
The pull meter will boot up and the Cycle button will light.
Select the unit of measure you want to use, LbF (Pounds of force) or N (Newton of force) by pressing the
“UNITS” key (See section 4.1 for details)
Press “ZERO” to clear any residual readings. Unit will reset 5 seconds after last reading
Note: Your settings will repeat your last chose when power is applied.

Loadingtheterminal
When loading the terminal to be tested select a position that will restrict the terminal end but not the
crimped area from moving.
If the terminal does not give you profile of the where the crimped area is large than the end it may be
nesscary to hold the terminal with a needle nose pliers or like instrument. See below.

Caution: Pull testing against the crimp can give an errant reading due to
compression or expansion of the crimp by the pulling action itself.
Performingthepulltest
To perform the test, load the terminal in the ring as described above.
Pull lightly on the wire and engage it in the pulling clamp below. A slight pressure on the clamp eccentric
will insure engagement of the wire in the clamp as the pull test starts.
To start the test, press the green Cycle button, this will start the process. The clamp will start to move
down pulling the wire away from the terminal.

During the test, two things can happen.
The wire will seperate from the terminal.
Or
The wire conductor will break. (The insulation may not beak and just stretch, however the results
will not increase.) In either case the number displayed is your test results.
At this point the clamp will continue to move down the full stroke and then return to the top. However if
you press the Cycle button again after you have a resulting value, the clamp will change direction and
return to the top position.
Note; For the value to hold on the screen you need to be in the ‘PT’ mode.

Settingthepullspeed
For pull testers manufactured after 10/1/2015 a pull speed setting is avaiable. For older units this feature
can be added at the factory, contact Artos for details. The pull speed can be internally set for the
following ranges.
Speed in mm/Second Speed in inches/Second
25 1.0
50 2.0
63 2.5
100 3.9
125 4.9

1.1 List of included items
1.2 Safety / Proper Usage
Caution!
Note the force gauge’s capacity before use and ensure that the capacity is not exceeded.
Producing a force greater than 150% of the gauge’s capacity can damage the internal load cell. An
overload can occur whether the gauge is powered on or off.
Typical materials suitable for testing include many manufactured items, such as springs, electronic
components, fasteners, caps, films, mechanical assemblies, and many others. Items that should not be
used with the gauge include potentially flammable substances or products, items that can shatter in an
unsafe manner, and any other components that can present an exceedingly hazardous situation when
acted upon by a force.
The following safety checks and procedures should be performed before and during operation:
1. Never operate the gauge if there is any visible damage to the AC adapter or the gauge itself.
2. Ensure that the gauge is kept away from water or any other electrically conductive liquids at all
times.
3. The gauge should be serviced by a trained technician only. AC power must be disconnected and
the gauge must be powered off before the housing is opened.
4. 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.

5. Wear eye and face protection when testing, especially when testing brittle samples that have the
potential to shatter under force. 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.
6. In certain applications, such as the testing of brittle samples that can shatter, or other applications
that could lead to a hazardous situation, it is strongly recommended that a machine guarding
system be employed to protect the operator and others in the vicinity from shards or debris.
7. When the gauge is not in use, ensure that the power is turned off.
2GAUGEPOWER
The gauge is powered either by an 8.4V NiMH rechargeable battery or by an AC adapter. Since the
batteries are subject to self discharge, it may be necessary to recharge the unit after a prolonged period
of storage. Plug the accompanying charger into the AC outlet and insert the charger plug into the
receptacle on the gauge (refer to the illustration below). The battery will fully charge in approximately 8
hours.
Caution!
Do not use chargers or batteries other than supplied or instrument damage may occur.
If the AC adapter is plugged in, an icon appears in the lower left corner of the display, as follows:
If the AC adapter is not plugged in, battery power drainage is denoted in a five-step process:
1. When battery life is greater than 75%, the following indicator is present:
2. When battery life is between 50% and 75%, the following indicator is present:
3. When battery life is between 25% and 50%, the following indicator is present:
4. When battery life is less than 25%, the following indicator is present:
5. When battery life drops to approximately 2%, the indicator from step 4 will be flashing.
Several minutes after (timing depends on usage and whether the backlight is turned on or
off), a message appears, “BATTERY VOLTAGE TOO LOW. POWERING OFF”. An audio
tone will sound and the gauge will power off.
The gauge can be configured to automatically power off following a period of inactivity. Refer to the Other
Settings section for details.
If battery replacement is necessary, it can be accessed by separating the two halves of the gauge. Refer
to the Setup section for details.

3.1 Mechanical Setup
3.1.1 Loading shaft orientation
In order to accommodate a variety of testing requirements, the orientation of the loading shaft may be set
up in either of the two positions shown below. In order to change the loading shaft orientation, loosen two
captive screws on the back side of the housing, separate the two housing halves, rotate one half 180
degrees, and reassemble. Contact between the two halves is made by spring pins and contact pads on
the printed circuit boards.
Load cell shaft up Load cell shaft down
3.1.2 Mounting to a plate
Proper mounting is important if attached to a fixture or test stand. The round steel insert with a hole in the
back of the housing is provided to withstand the load during a test. A mating dowel pin should be used
(see illustration below). Mounting plates on Mark-10 test stands include a dowel pin and clearance holes
for the four threaded holes located near the corners of the housing. These holes are designed to
accommodate screws in order to hold the gauge in place (Mark-10 test stands include a set of thumb
screws for gauge mounting). The screws must not be used for load bearing purposes. Failure to use a
dowel pin properly can result in a hazardous situation.
3.1.3 Mounting attachments to the gauge
The force gauge’s threaded loading shaft is designed to accommodate common grips and attachments
with female mounting holes. To mount a grip, gently thread it onto the shaft. Other mounting adapters are
