Force Sensor Calibration
MTS Series 793 Tuning and Calibration Calibration Procedures 173
A. Use the Dial to adjust the Setpoint for a 0% command.
B. Record the force standard’s readout value in the 0% row of your record
sheet.
C. Enter the corresponding conditioner feedback reading.
D. Use the Dial to adjust the Setpoint for a -2% tensile force command.
E. Record the force standard’s readout value and its corresponding
conditioner feedback reading in the -2% row of your record sheet.
F. Repeat steps D and E for other tensile force commands (typically at -4,
-6, -8, -10, -20, -40, -70, and -100 percent of full scale).
Automated Controllers:
A. Adjust the Manual Cmd slider for a 0% command.
B. Record the force standard’s readout value and corresponding
conditioner feedback reading at 0% command.
C. Adjust the Manual Cmd slider for a -2% tensile force command.
D. Record the force standard’s readout value and its corresponding
conditioner feedback reading in the -2% row of your record sheet.
E. Repeat steps E-G for other tensile force commands (typically at -4, -6, -
8, -10, -20, -40, -70, and -100 percent of full scale).
7. Record conditioner feedback readings at predetermined compressive force
command points.
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers:
A. Use the Dial to adjust the Setpoint for a +2% compressive force
command.
B. Record the force standard’s readout value in the +2% row of your
record sheet.
C. Enter the corresponding conditioner feedback reading.
D. Repeat steps A-C for other compressive force commands (typically at
+4, +6, +8, +10, +20, +40, +70, and +100 percent of full scale).
Automated Controllers:
A. Adjust the Manual Cmd slider for a +2% compressive force
command.
