Emergency Stop Switch; Load Cells - Ametek Chatillon CS1100 User Manual

The safeline button is mounted on the left hand side of the frame and is initially illuminated
to indicate that there is no power to the crosshead motor circuit and the crosshead cannot
move. The safeline circuit must be activated before the force tester can be used.
Pressing the safeline button will turn the light off to indicate that the force tester is now
ready for use. Use the main power switch to turn power off when the force tester is not
required.

2.10 EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

If for any reason the machine needs to be stopped without delay, an emergency stop
mushroom switch is provided. Pressing the switch stops the CS Force Tester immediately.
It can be released by turning a quarter-a-turn clockwise. The machine will then go to the
initialize/start-up sequence if the ON/OFF switch is already ON.

2.11 LOAD CELLS

Before the machine is powered up, or any test set-ups are entered, a Load cell should be
fitted.
Carefully unpack the Load cell(s) supplied with your machine. Please make all operators
aware that these are precision load measuring devices and should be treated with great
care. Please read SECTION 5.1 FITTING A LOAD CELL before proceeding further.
NOTE: Load cells are precision measuring devices. Always handle
load cells with extreme care to prevent damage.
CAUTION: Please note that load cell overload is not covered by the warranty.
