709 Alignment System Installation
Connect the 709 Alignment System as follows:
1. If Load From Analog Input Signal will be used (see “Load Analog Input
Signal” on page 66), connect the analog I/O cable from the system
controller. (Cabling for this connection must be supplied by the customer.)
For most MTS testing systems, this will be from the TestStar Controller
Analog 1 output configured for the load/force signal.
2. Connect the network cable.
The network connection can be to either a site network or directly to the
computer.
If the 709 Alignment System will be connected to a site network, ensure that
it is on the same subnet as the computer that will be used for the alignment
procedure.
3. Connect the alignment specimen cable.
Specimens purchased from MTS have the strain gages wired into a
37-pin D connector. If you are supplying your own specimen, refer to the
specimen wiring diagram for connector pin assignments.
4. Plug in the power cord to apply power to the 709 Alignment System.
There is no on/off switch on the 709 Alignments System.
Verify all modules in the 709 Alignment System box are seated properly
(both down on the base and sideways against the adjacent modules) and
have green lights for Power and Ready. If necessary, push on the end to
slide the modules towards the power supply.
