    An interlock is an optional accessory that changes the behavior of the system depending on whether the interlock circuit is open or closed. For example, the door on a protective shield may include an interlock. When the interlock circuit is open (e.g. the Product Support: www.instron.com...

  • Page 82: Testing With No Interlock

    Chapter: Testing specimens shield door is open), the circuit is interrupted and the system is either disabled or restricted as defined by the Operator Protection settings. Testing with no interlock This test scenario assumes the system has no accessories with an interlock and that the start test method in Operator Protection settings is set to Frame control (the default).
  • Page 83 11. Use the jog controls to move the crosshead to its starting position and set zero displacement. Refer to “Set the zero displacement point” on page 93. 12.

  • Page 85: Testing With An Interlock

    The high energies involved in testing can cause broken parts of a specimen to be projected forcefully some distance from the test area. Wear eye protection and use protective shields or screens whenever a risk of injury to operators and observers exists from the failure of a test specimen. Product Support: www.instron.com...
  • Page 86 Chapter: Testing specimens Select the correct test area for the test. An incorrectly set test area can cause unanticipated crosshead behavior. Press the Emergency Stop button if the frame moves in an unexpected direction. An incorrectly set test area can cause unanticipated crosshead behavior and create a safety hazard that may damage the specimen or load cell.
  • Page 87 21. After the test is complete, the system transitions to CAUTION mode. If the specimen did not break, use the jog controls to relieve the applied force from the specimen before opening the interlock to remove the specimen. Product Support: www.instron.com...
