Cooper Instruments & Systems DFR 1250 Two Channel Paperless Recorder - Manual (Page 11)

TSFM 500 DC 9 32-1101 REV 2 710
Default setting: OFF
Available settings: ±1V, ±2V, ±4V, OFF
5.7 Overload Settings (C OVERLOAD and T OVERLOAD or CW OLOAD and CCW OLOAD)
The setting corresponds to the percentage of full scale of the force or torque gauge at which test stand travel stops. For
example, a setting of 80% for a 50 lb capacity force gauge would stop test stand motion when 40 lb is reached.
Independent settings may be programmed for both load directions (tension and compression, or CW and CCW).
Note: For force test stands, when the crosshead is moving in the UP direction, only the tension overload setting applies.
When the crosshead is moving in the DOWN direction, only the compression overload setting applies. The same concept
applies to the CW and CCW directions for torque test stands.
Default setting: 100%
Available settings: 20% - 100% (10% increments)
5.8 Control Source (CONTROL)
This setting corresponds to the source of test stand control. The default value CONSOLE sets the test stand to accept
commands only from the controller. Any external commands received through the serial port are ignored.
PC refers to external control via serial communication. If any parameters are changed on the front panel, these settings
will be ignored, except for Auto Return or Cycling. If either of these parameters are turned on, PC control will be turned
off.
Default setting: CONSOLE
Available settings: CONSOLE, PC
