Display Panel Section
The Display Panel section contains three 4-digit LCD
displays and control keys to allow load, extension, and
strain to be tracked during a test, and the peak and break
values of these parameters to be observed. All values are
computed and saved at the end of each test and may be
viewed as needed during and after the test. An indicator
lamp shows the active selection key.
Limits Panel Section
The Limits Panel section allows you to specify what action
the system takes when maximum and minimum values of
load, extension or strain occur during a test. The electronic
Limits function acts to protect valuable specimens, grips,
and test fixtures from the effects of crosshead overtravel
and possible collision.
You should always set limits and assign a crosshead ac-
tion before starting a test. Enter limits values using the
keypad and view them on the Main Panel Display.
Descriptions of the Limits Panel control functions are
found in Table 4-3.
The Limits Panel section allows a crosshead action to be
specified that is independently based on the following
limit conditions during a test:
LOAD - minimum, maximum
EXTENSION - minimum, maximum
STRAIN - minimum, maximum
BREAK - detection
