Using Break Detection
Selecting Break Point
The “Break Point” is the break detector value or the
“break trigger”. It is the force value that must be
acheived before the gauge will look for the maximum
load and the peak load.
Break Point - Percentage Break Method
To set the Break Point in a Percentage Break setup, establish the correct increment value. Position the arrow
cursor next to the label “BkPt”.
If the cursor arrow is next to the “%Bk” label, select the
F2 (BKpt) key. This will reposition the cursor arrow next
to the “BkPt” label.
It is important to set a correct “Break Point” based on
the type of sample and the sample’s break characteristics.
Use the UP navigation arrow to increase the Break
Point value, and the DOWN navigation arrow to decrease the value. Select Enter once you have the
desired Break Point value displayed.
In a peel application, if the break point is set too low,
the gauge may sense a break due to the characteristically noisy signal produced by a peel application. In
a peel test, it is quite easy to have a 95% drop from
a maximum load that is not representative of the true
maximum load or true break load.

If the break point is set too high, the gauge may never
see a break.

The best way to establish the break point is through
sample testing trials.
Break Point - Sharp Break Method
To set the Break Point in a Sharp Break setup, establish
the correct increment value. Use the UP navigation arrow to increase the Break Point value, and the DOWN
navigation arrow to decrease the value. Select Enter
once you have the desired Break Point value displayed.
