Fitting An Els To Your Test Stand - Mecmesin OmniTest-5.0 Operation And Installation Manual

3.7 Fitting an ELS to your Test stand

The OmniTest-5.0 has a dovetail bracket attached to the moving crosshead, which tightens by
using an Allen key on the embedded screw.
To fit your ELS to your test stand slide the load cell sideways onto the dovetail and tighten
the grub screw (circled below in red) located in the dovetail using a suitable Allen key.
To prevent damage, do not over-tighten the grub screw in the dovetail when a gauge bracket
is not present.

Note: Take care when handling low capacity ELSs such as a 5N cell, as damage can easily
occur from mishandling.
It is also important to ensure that attached grips and fixtures do not overload the ELS. If in
doubt please check the weight of any addition grips and fixtures prior to fitting these.
