Red warning message, Keep clear of test area, disappears after a few seconds.
TESTING (red) LED illuminates on the frame control panel and flashes while the
crosshead is moving.
This is an unrestricted state of the frame.
When the frame is in testing mode:
• frame is currently running a test
• frame is currently returning to zero displacement after a test
The frame also enters this mode during high-speed jogging, which can be initiated by
pressing and holding the
UNLOCK button while simultaneously pressing one of the
JOG buttons. Once the jog has started, you can release the UNLOCK button so long as
you maintain pressure on the
JOG button. Crosshead speed ramps up gradually to the
maximum speed of the frame.
Move between modes
The following table shows how the controls on the frame control panel move the system
between modes to set up and run a test.
