MTS Series 793 - Manual (Page 220)

Warning:
Running a test after replacing a TEDS sensor with a non-TEDS sensor can result in unexpected
actuator movement and invalid test data.
A moving actuator can injure anyone in its path. Running a test with an uncalibrated sensor can
damage test specimens and invalidate test data.
On the Station Control panel, click Reset after you unplug a TEDS sensor and plug a different
non-TEDS sensor into the same connector.
To turn on plug-and-play functionality when replacing a TEDS sensor with a non-TEDS sensor, make sure
that the following requirements are met:
• The TEDS sensor that you are replacing must have a non-zero excitation setting.
• Excitation failure detection for the TEDS sensor must be enabled.
To replace a TEDS sensor with a non-TEDS sensor:
1. Disconnect the TEDS sensor from the conditioner.
2. Connect the non-TEDS sensor to the same connector on the conditioner.
The excitation setting for the non-TEDS sensor must be set to a nonzero value.
3. On the Station Control panel, click Reset to display the sensor assignment window.
This list includes sensor files that match the sensor’s conditioner type, dimension, and whose basic TEDS
information is set to zero (non-TEDS).
4. Assign the correct calibration data to the non-TEDS sensor.
Transducer ID Modules
About Transducer ID Modules (Series 493 Conditioners Only)
Optional Transducer ID modules are attached to a sensor and can store sensor calibration data for that
sensor. Transducer ID modules make it easier to change sensors since the calibration information stays with
the sensor.
