CAUTION Tests performed at very slow speeds are difficult to distinguish whether or not a test is being performed and the crosshead is active. The crosshead is active when the STOP TEST label is displayed. CAUTION The Start/Stop push button features an LED indicator that shows the crosshead status. If the LED is displaying a solid GREEN, this is the same as START TEST, e.g. the crosshead is inactive and ready to test. During an active test, the LED displays a blinking RED indicating that the crosshead is active.
2.1.1.9 RETURN TO HOME Function The RETURN TO HOME function may be used manually or
automatically. The RETURN TO HOME function returns the crosshead to the SET HOME (start test) position after a test run is completed. Once the test run is completed, you may press the RETURN TO HOME target. The crosshead will return to its start position (SET HOME). If SET HOME was not selected or configured as part of the test’s Pre Test step, the RETURN TO HOME function is not available since no Home position was ever established.
CAUTION Care should be taken when using the RETURN TO HOME function for tensile tests. Prior to selecting the RETURN TO HOME function, it is recommended that the sample be removed from the test fixture.
In your test setup, you may use the Post Test step to configure your test to automatically RETURN TO HOME upon completing a test run.
You must SET HOME for RETURN HOME to cause the crosshead to return to the start test position. Press RETURN HOME or use the RETURN HOME option in your Post Test step.
