IEC 60884: 2022 Cord Retention Testing Apparatus For The
Effectiveness Of Cable
Product Information For Cord Retention Testing Apparatus:
This device conforms to the standard requirement of IEC 60884:2022
clause 23.2 figure 20.
It is for testing cord retention is for check the effectiveness of
the retention of the cable of the cord anchorage.
The cord anchorage is used in the normal way, clamping screws, if
any, being tightened with a torque equal to two-thirds of that
specified in standard. After reassembly of the specimen, the
component parts shall fit snugly and it shall not be possible to
push the flexible cable into the specimen to any appreciable
extent. The specimen is placed in the test apparatus so that the
axis of the flexible cable is vertical where it enters the
specimen.
Technical Parameters For Cord Retention Testing Apparatus:
Power supply: AC 220V±10%, 50Hz
Number of testing: 1~9999 (it is adjustable. 100 is by default.
Rate of testing: 60 times/min
Weight: 10N*1, 60N*1, 20N*2 (can achieve 30N, 40N, 50N, 60N)
Conforms to standard: IEC60884 clause 23.2 figure 20.
Attention For Cord Retention Testing Apparatus:
1. Lubricating oil should be added on the movable end of the guide
rail regularly, to ensure that the test machine running smoothly
2. The flexible cord should be kept in vertical after the weights
are hung on the cord, and the weight should be hung firmly to avoid
falling during working, and damage the equipment, it is better to
add a rubber plate on the bottom plate.
3. In normal use, the warranty period of the equipment is one year,
we will continue to provide technical service after the warranty
period.
Operating steps For Cord Retention Testing Apparatus:
1. Before install the test sample, can left rotate the speed adjust
button to make the speed to be slower, observe when the mechanical
arm moves down to the lowest position, press down the STOP button
immediately.
Note: the speed adjust button is used to adjust the speed of the
motor, thus to adjust the mechanical arm’s action speed. Right
rotate this button to speed up, left rotate to slow down. When
operator rotates the speed adjust button to make the mechanical arm
action speed to match standard requirements, for example, 60
times/min (manually check by a stop watch), operator can mark the
position, then next time test, operator just need to rotate the
button to the mark position.
2. Loose the up cord clamp, select the appropriate cord bush (refer
to the table below) according to the specifications of the sample,
insert the cord bush into the entrance hole, then the cord of the
specimen are across the cord bush, clamped by the up and lower cord
clamps. After that, choose the appropriate weight based on the
weight of the test requirements, the weights are hanged on the end
of the cord, adjust the weight to the appropriate height, and the
test can be started.
3. Access to the power supply, preset the test times on the
counter.
Press “RESET” to clear the display value, then press the “RUN”
button, the test starts, the test will automatically stop when
reach to the setting times, press the “STOP” button when you want
to stop during the half-way.
