Page 7: Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide Startup Scenarios If your HM-3000 was purchased with instrumentation for one specific test: the instrumentation has been installed and calibrated. There is no need to configure or calibrate the machine. It is ready for use. DO NOT RECALIBRATE! Refer to the Installation and Setup Section and then proceed to the section for the specific test desired. -
Page 8: Installation And Set-Up
Installation and Set-up Unpacking Initial inspection should include checking for physical damage during shipping and obvious external damage to the product. Package contents are defined by your packing list. Each MasterLoader is configured according to customer specifications. In your inspection, make certain that the contents of your shipment match the documentation provided by your packing list. -
Page 9: Mounting Transducers
If you are using third-party cables for load cells/transducers connections, make sure they are wired to be compatible with the HM-3000. Consult Figure #1 for a compatible reference wiring diagram.
