Travel Limit Switches (Physical Limits)

Insight Material Testing System

Operation

61

When a physical limit is reached there are three ways to get the crosshead
moving again:

First press Motor Reset in TestWorks 4. Then use the crosshead
capabilities of your software (virtual handset). Move the crosshead
away from the limit until the switch closes and the crosshead can move
in both directions again. See the TestWorks software manual for further
details.

Manually move the adjustable limit along the range of travel away from
the crosshead until the limit switch is no longer active. Then press
Motor Amp Reset in TestWorks 4 or Handset Enable on the handset.

If TestWorks 4 is not active, press Handset Enable on the handset. Then
use the manual handset control to move the crosshead until the limit
switch is no longer active.
