Model ESM301 Programmable Force Test Stand
5.6 Overload Analog Output Voltage (OVRLOAD V)
This setting corresponds to the full scale analog voltage output of
the force gauge. The ESM301 protects a force gauge from overload
by measuring incoming analog voltage and stopping crosshead
travel when the programmed percentage of full scale has been
reached (see Section 5.7). The value for Mark-10 gauges is ±1V.
Adjustable voltage allows for compatibility with other force gauges
as well.
Default setting: OFF
Available settings: ±1V, ±2V, ±4V, OFF
5.7 Compression and Tension Overload Settings
(C OVERLOAD and T OVERLOAD)
The setting corresponds to the percentage of full scale of the force
gauge at which crosshead travel stops. For example, a setting of
80% for a 50 lb capacity force gauge would stop crosshead travel
when 40 lb is reached.
Note:
When the crosshead is moving in the UP direction, only the
tension overload setting applies. When the crosshead is moving in
the DOWN direction, only the compression overload setting applies.
Default setting: 100%
Available settings: 20% - 100% (10% increments)
