Page 9: Operation
The HSR-2000 is designed to regulate the speed of the load cell’s sampling in accordance with the speed of the test. The rate of data sampling will be adjusted to provide 400 data samples regardless of the test speed. -
Page 10: Grip Operation
Grip to come in contact with the wall of the load cell housing will damage the load cell. There must be a physical gap maintained between the Grip and the load cell housing for the load cell to function correctly. 10 | P a g e High Speed Release Tester Operating Instructions (HSR-2000) -

Page 13: Machine Setup
It is important to calibrate the load cell to ensure that reliable data will be gathered. A calibration procedure is built into the software of the HSR-2000. This procedure should be followed upon first use of the HSR-2000 and whenever necessary thereafter. The following is the step-by-step procedure for calibrating the load cell. - Page 14 11. Verify the calibration by hanging a different calibration weight on the calibration wire. 12. Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary. 13. Move the calibration bracket/pulley into the test position when finished with the calibration procedure. 14 | P a g e High Speed Release Tester Operating Instructions (HSR-2000)

Page 19: Running A Test
High-speed release tests are preformed according to the FINAT Test Method number 4. The HSR-2000 will accommodate test samples with dimensions of 2” wide and at least 32 inches in length. The sample is prepared for either a release pull or adhesive pull at 180 degrees. - Page 20 • The TEST DATA DELAY parameter will allow for delaying the acquisition of data the defined number of milliseconds. 20 | P a g e High Speed Release Tester Operating Instructions (HSR-2000)

Page 21: Ez Data Software System
EZ DATA SOFTWARE SYSTEM EZ Data is a ChemInstruments program that runs on your computer and will allow you to interface to your ChemInstruments machine in order to save test data files, save raw test data to excel, graph and crop test data, tabulate test data files, and overlay test data files. - Page 22 The following picture is the main screen of EZ Data with a HSR-2000 connected. This screen will show the current load as a value and a real time graph as data is collected from the load cell. It shows the test setup parameters. It will also allow you to change the test parameters.
- Page 23 The following picture shows the HSR-2000 parameter setup in ramp speed mode. The graph displayed for tests run in ramp speed mode will also display the speed measured during the test. 23 | P a g e High Speed Release Tester Operating Instructions (HSR-2000)
