Fasten test piece
• Release tension clamping jaws (11) with the clamping lever (9).
• Adjust clamping jaws (11) at the adjusting screw (10) to thickness of sample.
• Fix sample material with clamping lever (9).
• Do not operate the sliding carriage backwards when the sample is
fastened in, overload fuse will be activated.
Shear test
Start test procedure
• Press Start/Stop
› key
• When the set initial tension value is achieved, the elongation and position values are reset to nought and the test
evaluation starts (if the initial tension value is already set to O N / 0 lbf, the test evaluation starts immediately).
• During the test the parameters cannot be changed.
End test procedure
• In case the sample tears, push key
• If key
› is not pressed, the sliding carriage (12) stops automatically at the end.
• To interrupt or stop the tensile test, press
• When sample shears, the sliding carriage (12) stops automatically.
• If the sample does not shear, the sliding carriage (12) stops at the end of the run.
• To interrupt or stop the tensile test, press
ring values are not reset if the power sensor is under pressure the initial tension value (see F
This guarantees that the existing test can be continued.
• The automatic shut-off can be a hindrance during certain tensile tests when the sample tears (FTear).
Therefore, this function can be deactivated.
