Description
Functions being added to the ESM303 that were not originally purchased require a request code when placing the order.
Directions for retrieving request code:
- While in normal operating mode, press and hold STOP, then press menu simultaneously, and release both buttons.
- The display will appear similar to the below image.
- Use the left or right arrow to scroll to the desired function.
- Press ENTR.
- You will then see the Request Code that is needed when ordering the Optional Function.
Please call if you need assistance, 312-666-0595.
The request code must be supplied we will then provide a corresponding authorization code to activate the function.
| Optional Controller Functions
| Feature | Description | Requirements |
|
AF008 FollowMe |
Crosshead movement responds to manually pushing or pulling on the force gauge shaft. Ideal for setups and quick positioning. |
09-1214interface cable |
|
AF009 Travel Indication |
Travel is indicated on the control unit display, with output via USB. |
M7 or M5 gauge 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF010 Computer Control |
The ESM303 may be fully controlled by a PC through a custom-written program in any language supporting ASCII communications. This option is not required for Mesurgauge Plus software. |
M7 or M5 gauge 09-1214 interface cable and 09-1158;USB output cable |
|
AF011 Programmable Travel Limits |
The stand stops at or cycles between programmable upper and lower travel distances. | AF009 travel indication |
|
AF012 Overload Protection |
Protects a force gauge or force sensor against overload. |
M7 or M5 gauge 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF013 Auto Return |
The crosshead moves to a limit switch, force set point, travel position, or break, then stops and reverses direction at full speed to the opposite limit. |
If reversing at force set point: M7 or M5 gauge and 09-1214 interface cable If reversing at travel limit: AF011 programmable travel limits option If reversing at break: AF019 break detection option and 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF014 Cycling/dwell time |
Same as auto return, but with the ability to program up to 100,000 cycles. Programmable dwell time for upper and lower limits (set independently) can be set up for up to 10,000 seconds. | Same as auto return, at the same speed in each direction. Add AF016 for independent up and down speeds |
|
AF016 Independent up and down speeds |
Configurable speeds for up and down directions. | - |
|
AF017 Low speed extension |
Extends the standard speed range down to 0.02 in/min (0.5 mm/min). | - |
|
AF018 High speed extension |
Extends the standard speed range up to 45 in/min (1,100 mm/min). | - |
|
AF019 Break detection |
Crosshead stops at a sudden drop in force. Programmable percentage of peak force. |
M7 or M5 gauge 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF020 Loadholding |
Dynamically adjusts the crosshead position to maintain a programmed load for an indefinite or specified period of time. |
M7 or M5 gauge If specified time add AF014 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF021 Preload/sample touch |
Stops the crosshead and/or zeroes the travel display at an initial preload - useful in tensile, compression, spring, elongation, and other applications. Preload is programmable as a percentage of force gauge/load cell full scale. |
M7 or M5 gauge AF009 travel indication 09-1214 interface cable |
|
AF022 Profiles |
Save and recall sets of test parameters, such as speeds, travel limits, preloads, etc. Up to 50 profiles may be stored. | - |
|
AFCOMP Complete options package |
Includes all functions listed above, plus 09-1214 interface cable and 09-1158 USB cable. | M7 or M5 gauge |
