TROUBLESHOOTING SETTING TRAVEL LIMITS
For a compression test
loosen the upper travel limit
thumbscrew and move it to
the top. Press and hold to
move the force gauge and
attachment up until there is
adequate clearance for testing.
Then move the upper travel
limit down to this position
and tighten securely. Loosen
and move the lower travel limit to the bottom. *Press and hold to
move the gauge and attachment and stop when they reach the test
material.The distance travelled during compression must be added to
determine the position of the lower travel limit. Be careful, the force
gauge can be overloaded whether on or off. Press and hold or use
Jog Move to move the gauge and attachment to the desired position.
Move the lower travel limt to this position and tighten securely.
For a tension test loosen the lower travel limit thumbscrew and
move it to the bottom. *Press and hold
and move the force gauge
and attachment down and stop when they reach the test material.
Press and hold or use Jog Move to engage the test material. Be
careful, the force gauge can be overloaded whether on or off.
Move the lower travel limit to this position and tighten securely. Press
and hold to move the force gauge and attachment up to allow
adequate clearance for testing. Move the upper travel limit to this
position and tighten securely.
*CAUTION: Set the lower travel limit to allow adequate clearance for
the gauge and attachments, so they do not crash into the test material.
To prevent accidental movement of the lower limit position, replace
the thumbscrew with an M4 Allen screw so an Allen wrench will be
required to adjust it.
