System Panel Icon
Description Icon Number
The system is ready. 1
System warning. A system warning indicates that action may be required
to achieve desired operating results, but most operations can still generally
be performed when a system warning occurs. Hover your cursor over the
icon to see the warning message.
System error. A system error has occurred that may prevent some
operations, such as applying power to the system, moving the actuator,
or clicking the Run button to run a test. Hover your cursor over the icon
to determine the cause of the system error.
Depending on the system error that has occurred, you may still be able
to perform some operations. For example, a C-Stop Interlock allows power
to the system, but you cannot move the actuator. If a Program Stop
Interlock occurs, power is allowed to the actuator and you can manually
move the actuator, but you cannot perform test runs until the system error
is resolved.
Manual crosshead lock. Indicates whether the crosshead is locked. The
icon to the left shows that the left side of the crosshead is unlocked and
the right side is locked. To apply high power, both sides must be locked. 2
Door open. Indicates whether the door to the test area enclosure is open
or closed. When the icon is illuminated, the door is open. To apply high
power, the door must be closed. 3
Yellow temperature sensor. Indicates that the actuator is getting warm.
The system will continue to run until a temperature limit is reached. 4
The fans to cool the actuator increase in speed with increasing
temperature and will become louder. This is normal system operation,
and it is not necessary to shut down the system. Reducing the frequency
and/or force output of the system will allow the actuator to cool down.
Red temperature sensor. Indicates that the actuator is too hot. The system
will interlock until the actuator is cool enough to run.
