Chapter: Assemble the load string
82 M10-17318-EN
Figure 20. Mechanical tensioner assembly
a Tighten 2 bolts on opposite sides to 7 N-m (5.1 ft-lb) (50% of the recommended
torque).
b Tighten the remaining 2 bolts to 14 N-m (10.3 ft-lb) (100% of the recommended
torque).
c Moving in a circular pattern, re-tighten all bolts to 14 N-m (10.3 ft-lb) (100% of the
recommended torque).
10. Connect the load cell cable to the
FORCE connector on the controller. Ensure that the
connector is fully engaged in the socket.
11. Press the load cell cable into the clips on the column cover to prevent it from inter-
fering with your test.
12. Calibrate the load cell (refer to “Calibrate a transducer” on page 99).
13. Leave the system on for at least 15 minutes to allow the load cell circuitry to stabilize.
After this warm-up period, calibrate the load cell again.
Adapters
Adapters let you connect grips or fixtures to the frame when the interfaces have
different connection sizes. There are two types of adapters: base adapters and coupling
adapters.
