Testing
Bluehill
®
displays a red border with white text, Test in progress. The border flashes while
the crosshead is moving.
Red warning message, Keep clear of test area, disappears after a few seconds.
TESTING (red) LED illuminates on the indicator 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 handset move the system between
modes to set up and run a test.
