Start-up Procedure
Emergency Stop
The MultiTest 1 is a single column ballscrew-driven test frame
with a load rating of up to 1000 newtons (N). It must not be
used with load ratings above 1000N. Complemented by a
Mecmesin loadcell or force gauge (as illustrated in the
photograph on the front cover), together with special fixtures
and accessories, it constitutes a key component in force
measurement systems suitable for accurately reproducing the
testing of a wide range of products.
There is only one standard model of the MultiTest 1. The
dimensions, speed range and capacity have been carefully
optimised to cover the test procedures and specimen sizes most
often needed by quality departments within many sectors of
manufacturing industry.
The MultiTest 1 has been designed and manufactured in a
controlled system to ensure compliance with all relevant
European Community Directives.
The MultiTest 1 has a single variable speed control for both
upward and downward directions. Speed can be set and
controlled by the knob (A, in fig.1) on the front panel. The white
pointer on the speed control knob gives an indication of the
speed setting. Some test Standards place particular
requirements upon speed accuracy/reproducibility, which may
exceed the normal performance of the MultiTest 1. Under such
circumstances calibration of each individual test stand may be
appropriate.
Set the limit switches (B, in fig 1); turn each thumbscrew
anticlockwise, move to approximately 50mm either side of the
moving crosshead (C, in fig.1) and re-tighten.
Check voltage selected is correct.
Connect your MultiTest 1 to an appropriate mains supply, turn
on the power switch (a, in fig 2.) The green power bar should
illuminate.
Pressing the red ‘Emergency Stop’ button will, at any time, stop
the crosshead moving.
To disengage the stop button turn either clockwise or
anticlockwise and then release.
It is advisable to check and become familiar with the operation
of the Emergency Stop once the system is connected to the
appropriate mains supply.
