SAFETY TIPS
•
Wear eye and face prot ec t i on when tes tin g. Alt h ough t he ESM has
relatively slow moving mechanisms, be aware of t he dangers
posed by potential energies that can ac c umula te in t he s ample
during testing.
•
Keep away from the moving parts of the tes t s t a nd.
•
Never operate the test stand if th ere is any visi ble damage t o the
power cord or the control unit. The ESM is powered by 110/220
volts that are present in bot h t he po wer cord and the control unit.
Any contact with this high voltage can ca us e s erious injury or even
death.
•
Ensure that the control unit be kept away from water or any other
electrically conductive liquids at all times.
•
Make sure the electrical outlet powering the test stand has local
earth ground (3-hole outlet).
•
If it is necessary to remove the cover of the control unit or motor
drive, always disconnect power before doing so. Use Mark -10 replacement parts, only, if any repairs are needed.
SETUP
Place the stand on a clean, flat and level work area that meets the criteria outlined in the work area safety instructions . For acc ura te readings, the area should be free of v ib rations.
If desired, the stand can be mounted to the work area with two 5/16
screws. Included is a mounting hole dril l t emplat e f or qui c k s et up . Before the stand can be mounted, t he belt cover surrounding the fine adjustment knob on the right hand side of t he s t an d has to be remov e d.
Using a flat screwdriver, loosen the four captive screws and slide off
the cover.
After the two 5/16 screws holding the sta nd are tig ht , pla c e the belt
cover back into place. While making sure that there is no contact with
the fine adjustment knob, ti ghten the screws in the four corners.

OPERATION
Place the stand on a clean, flat, and level surface. It is recommended
that the stand be mounted to the surface with two 5/16 screws. Use the
mounting hole drill template for quic k se t up. I ns t a ll a f orc e gau ge ont o
the gauge plate with four thumb screws. All Mark -10 f orc e gauges
(except the Series CG) mount directly to the stand without adapters .
Install the necessa ry attach ments and make sure they are secure, safe
to operate, and set up properly for your sample. Then zero out the
force gauge and turn the hand wheel clockwise for compression or
counter-clockwise for tension.
The base is removable so that t he stand may be used as a component
of a larger testing system. Proper care should be taken during installation to avoid injury.
To maintain smooth functioning of the stand, avoid overloads.
Optional Equipment
Digital Travel Display Kit
This position indicator covers 6” of travel per setting with a 5 digit display (0.0005” resolution) and a computer interfac e f or aut omat e d dat a
collection. It may be easily installed by the user.
Motor Drive Ki t
The motor drive kit converts an ES30 manual test stand into an ESM
motorized test stand. T he ki t c ons i s t s of a mot or bl oc k t ha t rep laces the
hand wheel, a remote console and an optional l imit s witc h k it . T he
speed is user selectable f r om 0.5 t o 13 in/m in [1 3 t o 330 mm/min] and
it is load independent. The s ystem is ov erlo ad reg ula te d to 15 0% of full
capacity.
ESM
With the base removed, the ESM can be easily integrated into large
systems such as production lines. In general, the stand can be
mounted on any angle (upside down, for example), alth oug h ex tr a c are
should be taken during installation and operation.
After the stand is in a sta ble and s ec ure position, install a force gauge
with four thumb screws (provided). All Mark-10 gauges (except th e Series CG) mount directly without adapters.
Plug the remote console cable into the 9-pin male connector located
above the motor in the rear of the st and .
Plug the power cord into the remote console and the other side into a
wall outlet.
Turn on the power with the switch located on the remote co ns ol e by the
power cord.
The test stand is now ready for operation.
OPERATION
Using the provided attachme nts , set up your sample, zero out the force
gauge and, if applicable, conn ec t it to a comp ut er or prin t er. When the
gauge and sample are ready for testing, us e th e remot e c on s ole t o operate the test stand. For fine adjustment or otherwise manual testing,
turn the knob on the right hand side of the stand clock wise for compression, counter-clockwise for tension.
Optional Equipment
Limit Switches
Adjust the switches’ vertic a l pos i ti ons by looseni ng an d re-t igh ten ing
the wing screws. A limit condition is indicated by an amber light on
the front surface of eac h s ens o r.
Upper limit switc h – while a limit condition exists, the slider will not
move up
Lower limit switch – while a limit condition exists, the slider will not
move down
