3.5 SIDE PANEL DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
The dip switches are accessed through the opening on the left side of the MPT-250B. The access opening is covered
with a plate that can be swung out of the way. Turn the large captivated screw counter clockwise until it comes loose
from the side cover. The label below the cover depicts the switch banks and lists the switch functions. The detailed
description of the switch settings is as follows:
NOTE: The unit must be turned off, and then back on for dip switch changes to take effect.

3.5.1 AUTO STOP
This feature stops the pull test when the piece under test fails. When the force applied to the piece drops below
70% of the displayed reading, the test is completed and the unit stops. This feature is turned on or off using
switch 7 of dip switch bank SW1.
ON=AUTO STOP enabled.
OFF=AUTO STOP disabled (the STOP switch must be used at the completion of a test).
NOTE: The AUTOSTOP function will not operate if the test range is at or below approximately 1.5lb. This is
necessary to allow for the preload that an operator will normally apply when inserting a connector for the
test. If the preload is greater than the lower limit, the unit will not start. In this case depress the reset
toggle switch next to the display to be able to begin test.
3.5.2 POUND, KILOGRAM, NEWTON
Dip switch 2 & 3 of dip switch bank SW2 control the type of units that are measured by the tester. If pounds are
desired switch 2 is down and switch 3 is up. If kilograms are desired switch 2 is up and switch 3 is down. If
Newton units are desired both switch 2 and 3 are up.
