MTS Series 793 Tuning and Calibration
Force Sensor Calibration
Calibration Procedures 170
D. Adjust the Manual Cmd slider to achieve a force standard reading of
20% tension and record the meter reading. Repeat this step for 40%,
60%, 80%, and 100% compression.
Note The Gain/Linearization Calibration procedure that follows applies only to
controllers equipped with full-range conditioners (e.g., Model 493.25
DUC module).
Task 6 Gain/Linearization Calibration
If you are using Gain/Linearization for your calibration type, complete the
following procedure. If not, complete Task 5 Gain/Delta K Calibration on
page 163 or Task 7 Millivolt/Volt Calibration on page 179.
Important Using linearization data requires specific conditioner zeroing
practices. Ensure that Electrical Zero Lock on the Offset/Zero
menu is set to Locked. Adjusting electrical zero after calibration
may invalidate linearization data.
Important Changing conditioner polarity after calibration may invalidate
linearization data. If you need to change conditioner polarity (for
example, when moving a sensor to a different test system), the
sensor may need to be recalibrated.
Initial force sensor
calibration
For initial calibration of a force sensor, complete the following procedure:
1. Select Gain/Linearization for Cal Type.
Standalone FlexTest SE Controllers: Select Setup > Force > Calibration
> Cal Type > Gain/Linearization
Automated Controllers: Select Gain/Linearization for Cal Type on the
Calibration tab of the Inputs panel.
