17.1.3.3 CONTROL SECTION The Control section is used during test operation to Start at test and Stop a test. The recommended method for Starting and Stopping a test is via the Start/Stop pushbutton on your FMS system's granite base. The Control section also features the SET HOME and RETURN HOME targets. Both of these target let you manually set the Home position prior to performing the test. The Home position is where the crosshead resides on the column prior to the Start test being performed. When the SET HOME target is pressed and after the test is concluded, you can press the RETURN HOME target. This will automatically return the crosshead to the established HOME position. The SET HOME function is available in your Pre Test step. When enabled, the Home position is automatically established when the Start test push button is depressed. The RETURN HOME function is available in the Post Test step. When enabled, the crosshead will automatically return to the Home position once the test concludes.
The Load (L) target is used to indicate the current measured load coming from the connected load cell sensor. Shown in front of the Load target is the mode indicator arrow which indicate either tension (pull) or compression (push). The measured load is displayed to the resolution for the individual sensor (10,000:1) and the units of measure is also displayed. If you press the Load (L) target, the measured load is zeroed. The Distance (D) target or Height (H) target when in Height mode, is used to indicate the current crosshead position as measured by the FMS frame's internal encoder. Associated with the measured distance is the unit of measure, which may be either inches (IN) or millimeters (MM). If you press the Distance (D) or Height (H) target, the measured distance or height value is zeroed. The two arrow symbols are used to indicate crosshead motion status. When the crosshead is actively moving, the arrows will animate showing the direction the crosshead is moving. Very slow crosshead travel is not immediately visible, therefore, this animation will help you recognize that the crosshead is active and in motion.
Press the SET HOME target to manually set the test Home position.
When the SET HOME function is used (manually), at the completion of the test, you may return the crosshead to the Home position by pressing the RETURN HOME target.
