Hydraulic Controls
About Station Hydraulics
A hydraulic power unit (HPU) provides hydraulic pressure while a hydraulic service manifold (HSM) controls
the application of HPU pressure to the test station.
Station controls
Typically, the Station Manager window’s Station Controls panel has both HPU and HSM controls.
• On test systems that use house hydraulic power, the Station Controls panel may have just HSM controls.
• On some small test systems without an HSM, the Station Controls panel may have just HPU controls.
