HOME POSITION
The Model 5850v2 contains hydraulic actuators that control
specimen compaction. One actuator applies ram pressure; another
actuator clamps the mold; and two actuators inside the compaction
chamber set and control the gyration angle.
The Home Position function returns all the hydraulic actuators to
their home position. To access this function, press 4 from the
Setup menu (see page 3–2). The compactor drives the four
actuators to their home position, while displaying Moving
Gyratory to Home Position. When the actuators are in their
home position, the compactor returns to the Setup menu.
