Installing the Shield - All Test Frame Models

1. The safety shield is shipped fully assembled. Remove it from the box and

remove the protective packaging.

2. Position the mounting bracket on top of the column, aligning the thru holes
with the corresponding threaded holes at the top of the column. Fasten the six
provided socket head screws, as shown in Fig. 1.

3. Plug the interlock cable into the corresponding connector in the rear of the
column, labeled “AUX. LIMITS”, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

4. Route all cables, such as the power cable and control panel cable, underneath
the shield, as shown in Fig. 3. Do not route cables through the cutout in the
sheet metal cover. Doing so can result in damage to the cables while the door
is rotating past this area. This cutout is provided for hand access to the con­nector panel only.

5. The door may be opened in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Magnetic detents are provided for the closed position. If the interlock cable is
plugged in, the test stand’s control panel will indicate when the door is open
and prohibit movement. However, the FollowMe® function may be used to
adjust the crosshead position for sample loading.

Note for Model ESM303:
The following minimum test stand firmware versions are required:

Front: 2.02.08
Main: 2.02.07

With prior rmware versions, the FollowMe

door is open, however, the Auto Return function can still be used to return the
crosshead to the home position automatically. Contact Mark-10 for upgrade in­structions. For further instructions refer to the test frame’s user’s guide.
