Thank you… Thank you for purchasing a Mark-10 Plug & Test remote sensor, designed for use with Mark-10 models ® M7I, M5I and M3I force/torque indicators and Series F test frames. With proper usage, we are confident that you will get many years of great service with this product. Mark- 10 sensors are ruggedly built for many years of service in laboratory and industrial environments.
1 OVERVIEW 1.1 General Overview Plug & Test sensors accommodate numerous force and torque measurement requirements, from 0.25 to ® 10,000 lbF (1 N to 50 kN) of force, and from 10 ozFin to 5,000 lbFin (7 Ncm to 550 Nm) of torque. These sensors can be handheld or mounted to a fixture or test stand for more sophisticated testing requirements.
2 SAFETY / PROPER USAGE Read through the following safety instructions thoroughly before using a sensor: 1. Note the sensor’s capacity before use and ensure that the capacity is not exceeded. Producing a load greater than the indicated safe overload value can damage the sensor. An overload can occur whether the sensor’s indicator is powered on or off.
3 SETUP The Plug & Test connector must be inserted into the receptacle of the indicator with the side marked ® “Plug & Test Technology” facing up (see Fig. 3.1). When fully inserted, the connector will lock into place ® with a “click”.
