Every press of the Mode key will cycle round the current stand
mode in the following order: Manual Cycle, Single Cycle,
Continuous Cycle. To change the setting, the Mode key must
be held for 2 seconds. The setting will flash and each
consecutive mode press will change values on the display in
the following order: Up Speed, Down Speed and
Speed/Displacement Units. The value maybe changed with the
speed dial. When parameters are set press the Zero key to
escape to normal display.
The MultiTest-d has variable speed control for both upward
and downward directions. Speed is set and controlled by the
knob on the front panel and the speed is indicated on the
digital display. To set the up speed, press the Mode key for
2 seconds until the speed starts to flash on the digital display.
Change the speed by moving the knob clockwise or
anti-clockwise in increments of 1mm/min (0.04 in/min). Press
the Mode key to move to down speed on the digital display
and change the speed by moving the knob clockwise or
anti-clockwise in increments of 1mm/min (0.04 in/min). Press
again the Mode key and the unit speed will flash; then select
the unit speed desired by moving the knob clockwise or
anti-clockwise. Press the Zero key to store settings and exit.
To save time setting the speed to minimum or maximum turn
the knob quickly to reach the maximum speed of:
1-1000 mm/min (0.04-40 in/min) on the MultiTest 0.5-d, 1-d
and 2.5-d. Note: 2.5kN - recommended maximum
speed = 750mm/min (30in/min) above 2000N.
Pressing the Zero key will zero the displacement at the current
crosshead position (will also zero the counter for the
continuous cycle mode).
Pressing the Up/Down key will start the move of the
crosshead in manual, single or continuous cycle modes.
At stationary the stand displays both the Up and Down speeds.
