FORCE CONTROL OPERATION
MX-500 test stand becomes a force control system when connected
to an IMADA Z2 or ZP digital force gauge with a CB-501 interface
cable. This feature may be used as overload protection and can
help prevent overload damage in most cases, but due to the wide
variety of testing conditions a guarantee is not possible.
1. Connect MX-500 test stand and IMADA Z2 or ZP force gauge
with a CB-501 interface cable.
2. Program High and Low setpoints on IMADA Z2 or ZP force
gauge. (Refer to Z2 or ZP Manual, Programming Setpoints
section)
