Clear Interlocks
Your MTS Criterion test system performs many self-checks when it is powered up. If a safety condition is
violated, the system sets an interlock. The interlock lights interlock indicators and renders the machine
inoperable until the violated safety condition is corrected. It is normal to encounter interlock conditions
during normal operation. The steps in this section should be used whenever an interlock condition is
encountered.
1. If you encounter an interlock condition, begin by checking the interlock status to find the cause.
