If the load frame is not equipped with a test area enclosure, press the High-Power Prohibit button on
the frame-mounted control until High-Power Prohibit is illuminated. This prevents high power from being
applied to the actuator when working in the test space and places the system in High-Power Prohibit
mode.
Note: The MTS Acumen load frame shown in this manual does not have a test area enclosure
for illustrative purposes. MTS recommends that the load unit be equipped with an integral test
area enclosure that provides protection against hazards and containment of ejected non-projectile
specimen material.
4. Set actuator power to low.
If necessary, clear interlocks by clicking the Reset controller and program interlocks button. Then click
the All Power Low button in the MPX main window.
5. Retract the actuator fully.
Doing so enables you to determine where the actuator endpoint is.
a) Using the software Manual Control panel, position the actuator so that it is fully retracted.
