9.3. Change components
The three principle components of the FMT-310 Force Tester are with each other compatible ancd can be
swiched at any time. Please take care that the test stand is swiched off and the power cable has been
removed.
After the change of the force gauge, the limits and the parameter, which are saved within the control get
canceled, as far as the nominal value of the measurment range changes.
10.0Troubleshooting
It’s not possible to switch on the test stand:
Check the power cable. If the switch does not glow up, it can be that the mains supply is interrupted.
You may check the fuse below the switch. The test stand is delayed fused with a microfuse (20 x 5),
2,5A (Backup fuse Art.No.: FMT-9804).
Control box doesn’t switch on:
If the switch gleams up, check the connection between the test stand and the control box. If the green
LED on the control box does not glow although the power supply voltage closes (switch glows red),
the connection between test stand and control unit is interrupted.
If you can see only a vibrant illumination and a green LED on the control box, than please wait about
30 to 60 minutes until the control box is totally cooled off.
Start screen cannot be left:
If the start screen does not get set free within 30 sec., there is a comunication mistake between the
load cell and the control unit. Pleas check if the two cable for the load cell (9-p D-Sub switch and M8
sensor connector) are correctly connected. Switch off the test stand to reset all the functions. Try
again to initiate the test stand.
If the load cell is defekt, it can be necessary to change the whole force measurment unit (see in
addition chap. 7.4). Our service can repair the load cell.
Path measurment takes place without the load cell moving:
The motor doesn’t accept any data out of the control box because of a previous error (e.g. short time
blockade). Switch the test stand totally off to reset all functions. Try again to initiate the test stand.
