FUNCTION
LOAD BAL Sets a load cell balance, or zero, during a calibration
procedure or when balancing out the tare of grips and
fixtures before starting a test. The LOAD BAL key LED is
lit during a balance operation or if a load calibration relay
is closed. A flashing LED indicates a calibration or
balance error. A test cannot be started during a balance
operation, and the balance function is locked out during
a test.
STRAIN CAL Initiates an extensometer calibration procedure. The
STRAIN CAL key LED is lit during calibration or when an
extensometer calibration relay is closed. A flashing LED
indicates a calibration error. A test cannot be started
during a calibration procedure, and calibration is locked
out during a test.

Status indicators that show the operating units for the
load and strain channels. The indicator that is lit shows
the current status of the units, as determined by the
positioning of a switch mounted on the rear connector
panel of the console. The selection of units determines
the scaling of displays and the input to a recorder. After
switching units, the Main Panel display will show
“LOSS”, indicating that nonvolatile memory is reset to
the default state and stored test data is lost. Load and
strain channels must be recalibrated and all electronic
limits reset.
