III.7 Running A Test

A test is initiated by depressing the start button. The operator is reminded to attach a probe, then

press start again to zero the weight of the probe and begin the test.

Depressing the Select/Scroll knob at any time during the test, or even while test results are displayed,

until the start button or reset button is pressed. The reset button will return the instrument to the

default display where the test mode may be selected. The start button will begin the same test again.

A test may be repeated simply by depressing the start button while viewing test results.

The test may be stopped at any time by using the stop/reset button or by pressing the emergency

stop button. We recommend that the stop/reset button be used for normal operation. The emergency

top is intended for emergency use only.

It may happen that the instrument overloads during a test. This will happen if the load exceeds

120%of theload cellcapacity. When an overloadcondition occursthe displaywill showthe

NORMAL TEST – performs a single compression of the sample then immediately returns

to HOME starting position.

The operator sets the trigger value, target deformation (travel distance into the sample) and the test

speedusingtheNormalmenuscreen:

TEST: NORMAL

TRIGGER: XXX.X g

DEFORMATION:XXX.X

SPEED: X.XX mm /s

Figure III.6

A normal test performs a single compression cycle when the operator depresses the start button.

Beginning at the position where the trigger load is measured, the probe descends at the programmed

test speed to the target deformation, then returns immediately to home/starting position. Return
