Service
Hydraulic Power Off
Hydraulic Power is prevented from energizing the circuit via the hydraulic service manifold. Full access
to the test area is allowed in this mode.
Specimen Installation and Setup
The controller provides a means for creating a specimen installation mode. This mode typically uses
the Channel Limited Channel (CLC) control method. The primary control channel is Displacement
(stroke) with maximum limits set on applied force. Tuning parameters unique to this mode optimize
manual control during this mode. In addition, a maximum velocity command is set.
The handset has the ability to have a configuration specific desired response to the thumbwheel
encoder on the handset for a precise level of control.
