TSTM / TSTMH
SAFETY TIPS

Wear eye and face protection when testing. Although the TSTM / TSTMH
has relatively slow moving mechanisms, be aware of the dangers posed by
potential energies that can accumulate in the sample during testing.

Keep away from the moving parts of the test stand.

Never operate the test stand if there is any visible damage to the power cord
or the control unit. The TSTM / TSTMH is powered by 110/220 volts that are
present in both the power cord and the Control Unit. Any contact with this
high voltage can cause serious injury or even death.

Ensure that the control unit be kept away from water or any other liquids at
all times.

Make sure the electrical outlet powering the test stand has local earth
ground (3-hole outlet).

If it is necessary to remove the cover of the Control Unit or motor drive,
always disconnect power before doing so. Use Mark-10 replacement parts,
only, if any repairs are needed.
SETUP
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. 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 high torque
tests.
With the base or legs of the TSTM / TSTMH removed, the test stand can be
easily integrated into large systems such as production lines. In general, any
mounting angle is feasible.
The angle dial is adjustable relative to the torque plate. Turn the dial by hand
to the desired angle.
The travel stops’ positions can also be adjusted. Loosen the wing nuts,
adjust to the desired positions, and retighten.
