Series TS Force Measurement Test Stands
8
TSC1000 / TSC1000H
OPERATION
1. Mount the test stand to a firm, flat, and level working surface for maximum
safety and accuracy using four 5/16 screws (not included). Use the included
mounting hole drill template to accurately drill the holes (TSC1000, only).
Testing can take place without securing the test stand in such a manner,
however, it is strongly recommended that the stand be secured, especially
for large forces.
2. Install a force gauge onto the gauge plate with four thumb screws. Mark-10
force gauges mount directly to the stand without adapters.
3. Install any needed attachments, including grips, adapters, and other materi-
als necessary for your test sample. Make sure these items are set up
in a secure and safe manner.
4. Zero out the force gauge, then begin the test by turning the hand wheel
clockwise for compression or counter-clockwise for tension.
Note: To maintain smooth functioning of the stand, avoid overloads and repeti-
tive shock loads.
