key LEDs will light. The crosshead action may be
changed by pressing another action key.
Note
If the crosshead action is to CYCLE between
LOAD limits during a compression test and the
load cell in use has a positive (+) output signal
for an increase in load (2511-200 series), set
TESTING AREA to ABOVE XHEAD.
You can check the limit settings by pressing each limit
key and reading the setting on the Main Panel Display.
Caution
Always verify that the limit settings
and crosshead actions are prop-
erly set before starting a test. Also,
always ensure that limit settings
are within the maximum capacity of
the load cell in use.
When a limit or specimen break causes a crosshead ac-
tion, the related STATUS LED flashes to inform you
why the action occurred (except at the CYCLE and OFF
actions). The LED continues to flash until the next test
is started.
