5. Enable the handset by pressing the Enable Handset button on the handset, so you have control of the
system while working on the frame.
6. Expand the crosshead limits and move the crosshead so you have enough space in which to install
the fixturing and specimen.
7. Attach the appropriate load cell cables for the workspace you will be using. There is a connector for
the load cell under the top beam on one of the columns and there are two connectors for the load cell
under the crosshead on one of the columns.
• When using the upper workspace, the upper load cell is connected to the connector under the top
beam on the one of columns, and the two connectors under the crosshead are connected by a
jumper cable.
• When using the lower workspace, the lower load cell is connected to the back one of two connectors
under the crosshead.
