What to do if Mark-10 ESM301 displays 'GAUGE OVERLOAD' error?
If the Mark-10 Test Equipment's ESM301 displays a 'GAUGE OVERLOAD' error, it means the programmed overload percentage of the force gauge’s full scale has been reached. You should immediately reduce the force or adjust the overload settings.
What to do if Mark-10 Test Equipment displays 'GAUGE COMM ERROR' error?
If the Mark-10 Test Equipment's ESM301 displays a 'GAUGE COMM ERROR', it indicates that the communication settings in the force gauge are not correct, or the gauge is in a menu. Ensure that the force gauge is set to 9,600 baud and RS-232 communication, and that the 09-1162 interface cable is used.
What to do if Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment ESM301 displays GAUGE OVERLOAD message?
If the Mark-10 ESM301 displays the 'GAUGE OVERLOAD' message, it means the programmed overload percentage of the force gauge’s full scale has been reached. You should immediately reduce the force or adjust the overload settings.
Why Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment crosshead will move only in one direction?
If the Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment crosshead moves only in one direction, or not at all, possible causes include: * Improperly plugged cables. * The force value exceeding the overload limits configured in the gauge. * Incorrectly configured force gauge set points. Ensure all cables are correctly connected and that the force value is within the configured overload limits. Also, verify that the force gauge set points are properly configured.
How to fix GAUGE COMM ERROR on Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment ESM301?
The 'GAUGE COMM ERROR' message on the Mark-10 ESM301 indicates that the stand is trying to move the crosshead but cannot communicate with the force gauge. This may be due to incorrect communication settings in the force gauge or the gauge being in a menu. Check the communication settings and ensure the gauge is not in a menu.
What does CHECK GAUGE error mean on Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment ESM301?
The 'CHECK GAUGE' error message on the Mark-10 ESM301 means that the force gauge is either powered off, in a menu, or not connected to the stand controller. This message appears when overload protection is turned on. Ensure the force gauge is powered on, properly connected, and not in a menu.
What to do if travel display value doesn't change on Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment when the crosshead moves?
If the travel display value doesn't change when the crosshead moves on your Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment, the encoder cable might not be properly connected. Check to ensure the encoder cable is securely plugged in.
What does M5 1.7+ REQD mean on Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment ESM301?
The 'M5 1.7+ REQD' message on the Mark-10 ESM301 indicates that a Series 5 force gauge with firmware version 1.7 or later is required for the selected functions in the stand to operate correctly. Ensure you are using a compatible force gauge with the required firmware version.
Why are some menu items missing on my Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment?
If certain menu items are no longer displayed on your Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment, it may be because the demo mode has expired. All test stand functions are temporarily enabled for 160 hours of operation in Demo Mode. After this period, any functions not originally purchased will no longer be available, and their associated menu items will disappear.
Why does the crosshead on my Mark-10 ESM301 move in only one direction?
If the crosshead of your Mark-10 Test Equipment moves only in one direction or not at all, check the following: * Ensure all cables are properly plugged in. * Ensure that the force value has not exceeded the overload limits configured in the stand. * Ensure that force gauge set points have been configured properly.
