4.1 Speed, Up Speed, Down Speed (SPEED, UP SPEED, DOWN SP)
If the independent up and down speed option has not been installed, the up and down speeds will be the
same, and is programmed in the SPEED feature. If the independent up and down speed option is
installed, UP SPEED and DN SPEED features will be present, and may be set individually.
Default setting: 10 in/min
Available settings: 0.02 – 45 in/min
4.2 Auto Return (AUTO RETURN)
With this function, the crosshead moves to a limit switch or soft limit (force set point, distance limit,
preload, or break detection), whichever occurs first, and stops. Then, the crosshead returns to the other
limit and stops. The test speed is dictated by the SPEED setting or the UP SPEED and DOWN SP
settings. The return speed is always maximum speed. The maximum speed depends on whether or not
the optional high speed range has been installed.
Default setting: off
Available settings: off, on

4.3 Cycling (CYCLES)
This setting allows the user to configure the number of up and down cycles through which the crosshead
will sequence. One cycle consists of the crosshead moving to a limit switch or soft limit, whichever occurs
first, at the specified speed, stopping for the specified amount of dwell time, and returning to the other
limit at the specified speed. If the independent up and down speed function is not enabled, the speed will
be the same in both directions.
Default setting: 00000 (off)
Available settings: 00000 – 99999
