MTS TestLine - Manual (Page 86)

The expected force range for tuning is 0.1 kN to 0.5 kN. However, the specimen is currently at zero
Force so that must be accommodated. For this example choose limits from -0.6 kN to 0.6 kN.
a) If necessary, click the Station Setup button.
b) Select Channels > Ch1 > Force > Channel Input Signals Button > Limits Tab.
c) Set the Upper Limit to 0.6 kN.
d) Set the Upper Action to Interlock.
e) Set the Lower Limit to -0.6 kN.
f) Set the Lower Action to Interlock.
Power Up the Pump and HSM
HPU setups vary considerably by lab. This document describes a typical HPU setup. For information on
your particular system, consult your lab experts or system documentation.
1. Correct any interlock conditions.
If a displacement limit has been exceeded, see If Necessary, Recover from a Tripped Displacement
Limit (p. 113).
2. Reset the interlock.
