You can set these values in the limit comparator function. The lower limit activates the buzzer (with FMT-W30 only if USB-cable is connected)
and an interrupted peep signalizes that the limit is not reached (yet). After exceeding the upper limit, the displayed pointer changes from down
to up and the continuous peep indicates that the minimum tensile strength was reached. You may use this function also for non-destructive
testing.
4.1 Setting of limits
In order to set the limits easily and in accordance to the above mentioned standards we recommend the use of the optional Software FMI-
W_Connect, where you can choose the appropriate limit from a table accordingly after selecting the test standard. Nevertheless you can adjust
the limits directly after you have restarted the instrument or deleted all saved data, by pressing the S-Button for 2 seconds until the display
shows P1. Select the setting menu P3 for the upper limit and P4 for the lower limit by pressing the I-Button and adjust the limit values.

Pressing the o-Button you enter into the submenu level P11 to P17 (see chap. 6)
With a short press on the S-Button you return to the main setting menu.
I
0
Pressing the o-Button you enter the submenu P2 (see chap. 6)
With a short press on the S-Button you return to the main setting menu.

Press the 0-Button to select the digit you
want to change, the digit starts flashing.
With the I-Button you scroll the desired
value.
With a short press on the S-Button you return to the main setting menu.

With the I-Button you scroll the desired
value.
The submenu P4 does not apply with the
motorized version FMT-W40. The lower
limit is adjusted automatically to 25% (or
max. 40N) of the upper limit.
With a short press on the S-Button you return to the main setting menu.
I
0
Pressing the o-Button you enter the submenu P0 (see chap. 6)
By pressing the S-Button for a longer time (>2s) you return to the main
operation menu.
The limit comparator function is deactivated by setting the limit back to „0000.0“ or by resetting the instrument to the original works defaults by
using the setting menu P0 (see chap. 7). The auto break detection stays active at 40N even if P3 = 0.
5. Data transfer and generating a test report with FMT-W_Connect
The optional software FMT-W_Connect enables you to utilize the USB-interface in connection with your PC or notebook. The data transfer can be
used to:
Increase the measuring resolution
Configure the operation modes, the automatic memorizing and the pull speeds of the motorized pull tester FMT-W40
Set the limit comparator function based on international standards for minimum tensile strength of crimped connectors easily
Generate a test report as PDF format and to print and file the customized report
Adjust the calculation base between the international standard (SI) for the dimension force in Newton [N] to weight dimension Pounds
[lb] or Kilograms [kg] according to the effective gravitation at the place of operation
5.1 System requirements
To install the software a PC or notebook with available USB-port is needed. The operation system Windows XP or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit),
and MsOffice 2007 or MsExcel 2007 and higher (32 bit) should be installed. To load the software you need administration rights on the work
station. You should install the software with the appropriate USB drivers before you connect the pull tester the first time to your workstation.
USB drivers can be found on the installation CD-Rom.
