MTS Acumen Electrodynamic Test System Load Frame User Guide - Manual (Page 41)

System Load Cell Mounting
The System Load Cell has two mounting configurations. One option is the top mount configuration, in which
the System Load Cell is bolted to the Acumen Linear Actuator. The other option is the bottom mount
configuration, in which the System Load Cell is bolted to the Acumen Frame Base.
The cable connections for System Load Cell are determined by its physical mounting on the Acumen Frame.
If the System Load Cell is mounted to the actuator (top mount), the connections are on the crosshead. If the
load cell/accelerometer is mounted to the frame base (bottom mount), the connections are on the lower panel.
If theSystem Load Cell is mounted to the frame base (bottom mount), the connections are shown in the
graphic below.
Connect theSystem Load Cell to either the top crosshead connector, or bottom lower panel connector, but
not both.
