8.8.4 Current Load Cell The L2 Plus software identifies the load cell sensor model that is connected to the test frame and that is communicating and controlled by the L2 Plus workstation. You may use the drop down list to select a load cell model if you choose to have a specific load cell associated with this system or a particular test setup. 8.8.5 Maximum Load Allowed The “Maximum load allowed” feature lets you limit the capacity of a connected load cell sensor by specifying the maximum load allowed. Using this limit can help prevent accidental overloads. If you are using a 100N load cell, and you specify the Max load allowed at 75%, the 100N load cell will measure between 0 and 75N. A test run will terminate if this load limit is exceeded. WARNING Excessive crosshead speed may make it impossible to stop in sufficient time to prevent an overload. Do not use high speeds, particularly in compression directions.
8.8.6 Disable Overload The Disable Overload function is intended for use during load cell calibration, where you need to disable overload protection. The Disable Overload function is password protected and may be accessed by authorized Starrett personnel. Contact your Starrett representative if you need to access the Disable Overload function. WARNING
The Disable Overload function removes all load cell sensor protection. The Disable Overload function is used during load cell sensor calibration. Disable Overload should NEVER be disabled during normal system use, e.g. all use except for
load cell sensor calibration. Disabling overload protection may lead to permanent damage to a connected load cell sensor and potential permanent damage to your test frame.
