FMS Users Guide

ENGLISH

1.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations for selecting the FMS for your force measurement testing. Your FMS testing system may be used for tension and compression testing including specific test methods such as peak, break, constant hold, flexural, shear, peel, coefficient of friction and more. Your FMS testing system should be used with Starrett equipment and accessories only. And for optimum performance, your FMS testing system should be maintained and serviced annually by an authorized Starrett representative. 1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Your FMS system consists of the testing frame, L2 digital controller, load cell sensors and test fixtures. Together, these components provide you with a full-featured testing system for most force measurement testing applications. 1.2 SYSTEM SAFETY AND LABELING ISO and ANSI safety labels are affixed to Starrett equipment to alert users and operators of the equipment to warnings and cautions. System users should obey all warnings and cautions and should be trained on the safe operation of this equipment by an authorized Starrett representative. 1.3 PRODUCT SUPPORT If you ever require product support for your Starrett system, contact your authorized Starrett representative. Authorized Starrett representatives are listed on our website at www.starrett.com. In the event that your Starrett representative may not be able to assist you, contact Starrett at one of our many international sales offices. Our sales offices are listed on our website at www.starrett.com. 1.4 CALIBRATION AND VERIFICATION Your FMS System is calibrated and tested at our factory prior to shipment to you. Our factory calibrations are traceable to national standards. If you require an ASTM E4 or ISO 7500-1 calibration, Starrett or a Starrett authorized representative can perform a calibration on-site in order to comply with these international calibration standards. Starrett recommends that you calibrate your system at least annually. More frequently calibrations may be required depending on the frequency of which the system is used. If your system is calibrated to ASTM E4 or ISO 7500-1, it must be calibrated whenever the system is relocated, e.g. moved from its location where the previous calibration occurred.
