4.6 Overload analog output voltage (OVRLOAD V)
4.6.1 Function
The TSTM-DC protects a torque sensor from overload by measuring incoming analog voltage and
stopping test stand travel when the programmed percentage of full scale has been reached. The default
setting is for Mark-10 instruments (±1V full scale), however, the setting may be changed to ±2V or ±4V to
accommodate other instruments.
Default setting: ±1V
Available settings: ±1V, ±2V, ±4V, OFF
Label Description
+ or – Cycles through the following available settings:
±1V ±1V full scale
±2V ±2V full scale
±4V ±4V full scale
OFF Overload protection is disabled
ENTR Returns to the Test Function Setup menu
ESC Exits the function without saving changes
4.6.2 CW and CCW overload settings (CW OVERLOAD and CCW OVERLOAD)
This setting corresponds to the percentage of full scale at which torque plate rotational travel stops. For
example, a setting of 80% for a 100 lbFin capacity torque sensor would stop torque plate rotational travel
when approximately 80 lbFin is reached.
Note:
Overload protection is active only for torque applied in the same direction of travel.
Default setting: 100%
Available settings: 20% - 100% (10% increments)
Label Description
+ or – Increases or decreases the value.

CONSOLE
The test stand is controlled from the control panel.
PC
The test stand is controlled from a custom-written application (not
