6.0 USING YOUR FMS SYSTEM The following sections will provide you with general guidelines for using your FMS Series force measurement system. Starrett recommends that you received professional training by an authorized Starrett Representative prior to operating your testing system. 6.1 FLC LOAD CELL SENSORS The FLC load cell sensors are precision instruments engineered to be used with your FMS Series frame and L2 Controller. FLC load cell sensors are precision resistance instruments with a measurement accuracy of better than 0.1% full scale. Starrett offers three model FLC load cell sensors: Economy, Environmentally Sealed and Premium. All sensors are supplied with a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST. Sensors may be calibrated on-site by your authorized Starrett Representative in accordance to ASTM E4 or ISO 7500/1. IMPORTANT • Starrett recommends that you allow your load cell sensor a warm-up period of 15 minutes prior to use. This warm-up time allows the sensor's internal electronics to stabilize. • FLC load cells should not be used to measure load below 2% of their rated full scale capacity per ASTM E4. It is best to use a load cell that operates in the mid-range of the sensor's full scale capacity thus allowing protection from overloading your sensor if operated at the high-end of the capacity.
