Why Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment crosshead will move only in one direction?
- E
  Erik TaylorAug 26, 2025
  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.

  Jesus AndersonAug 27, 2025
  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.

Why are some menu items missing on my Mark-10 Laboratory Equipment?
- S
  swigginsSep 5, 2025
  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.
