Series F test frames.
Both adapters may be programmed to the appropriate load capacity with a software utility through USB or RS-232 connection to a Mark-10 indicator. Through Plug & Test calibration information are saved within the adapter, allowing for interchangeability between multiple sensors, including standard Mark-10 sensors.
1.3 Compatible Equipment
The PTA and PTAF adapters are compatible with sensors meeting the following specifications:
Type: Full bridge  Resistance: 300 – 1000 ohms  Sensitivity: 1 – 3 mV/V full scale  Indicator requirements:

2 MECHANICAL SETUP
2.1 Wire Connection Overview
Sensors meeting the above specifications are supplied with a cable with four leads, for the following functions:
EXCITATION + EXCITATION – SIGNAL + SIGNAL –
These leads are typically color coded. Refer to the manufacturer’s data sheet for details.
Ensure that the signal leads have been installed into the appropriate terminal blocks. Some sensor
Note:
manufacturers consider SIGNAL + to be a compression value, while others consider it to be a tension value. If these leads are installed incorrectly, the indicator will display the opposite tension/compression indicator, and calibration cannot take place. In such a case, the indicator may display a message that the load is too high or too low, even if the applied load is correct. Switching the leads may fix the issue. Lead assignments should be verified with the manufacturer.
The adapters contain a circuit board with a screw terminal block to allow for the connection of these leads.
2.2 Wire Connection - Model PTA
Access the circuit board inside the adapter by loosening two screws and removing the cover, as shown below:
The screw terminal block will be visible, along with labels referencing the functions listed above:

1. Feed the four leads through the supplied strain relief (pictured above) and into the body of the adapter.
2. Using a flat screwdriver, loosen the four screws in the terminal block until the sensor leads can be inserted into the appropriate receptacles. After inserting the leads, tighten the screws, as shown below:
3. Install the strain relief by pressing it into the receptacle in the adapter housing, as shown below:
Reinstall the cover.

2.3 Wire Connection - Model PTAF
1. Remove the circuit board by loosening two screws, and remove the side cover by loosening two screws, as shown below:
2. Feed the sensor leads through the strain relief and side cover over. Then, using a flat screwdriver, loosen the four screws in the terminal block until the sensor leads can be inserted into the appropriate receptacles. After inserting the leads, tighten the screws, as shown below:
3. Reinstall the circuit board and side cover, then press the strain relief into the side cover, as shown below:

To mount Model PTAF and a sensor to these test frames, Model AC1083 is also required.
Fasten a user-supplied screw through the crosshead of the test frame, through the AC1083 adapter, through the PTAF adapter, and into the sensor. Then route the AC1083 cable through the opening in the crosshead and connect the Plug & Test image below:

3 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The adapters are configured by a PC running the included software utility, Plug & Test Adapter Configuration. Communication is achieved through a Mark-10 indicator and a USB or RS-232 connection.
The software and USB drivers may be downloaded from:
3.1 PC requirements
Windows 7 or later operating system  Screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or greater  RS-232C serial port or USB port. If USB communication is required, be sure to install the
appropriate USB driver.
3.2 Installation instructions
After downloading the file from the above link, unzip/extract the folder, then run the file “setup.exe”. Follow the prompts on the screen to install the software.
3.3 Running the software
When the installation is complete, the program can be found in: Programs > Mark-10 Software > Plug & Test Adapter Configuration.

4 USING THE SOFTWARE
When software installation has been completed, plug the adapter into the indicator, and connect a USB or RS-232 cable between the indicator and the PC.
4.1 General Menus
4.2 COM Port Settings
Use this screen to configure the PC’s COM port to which the indicator is connected.
COM Port
Select the appropriate COM port from the dropdown list. Clicking Refresh updates the list with all installed ports. The COM port associated with the indicator can be identified under the Ports sub-section of Device Manager in Windows.
Baud Rate
Select the baud rate of the serial port. The default setting is 9600 baud. Be sure to configure the baud rate to match that of the indicator.

4.3 Force / Torque Capacities & Resolutions
Use the Force Capacities & Resolutions and Torque Capacities & Resolutions screens to program the capacity appropriate for the sensor. The number of available units of measurement and displayed resolution depend on the indicator being used. Refer to Section 5 for detailed information.
Refer to the following procedure:
1. Select the appropriate capacity. Use the capacities. The Capacity table shows the available units of measurement and their corresponding capacities. The Resolution table displays the increment size for each of the available units.
Select the Model 5i & 7i or Model 3i radio button in the lower right corner of the screen to display the units and resolutions available for each indicator. Do not use a Model M3I indicator to configure a sensor via the PTAF adapter.
2. The software may be used to configure a bi-directional sensor, such as an S-beam, or single direction sensor, such as a load button. Select the appropriate direction.
3. Optionally enter an identification number for the sensor. This number will be displayed in the indicator’s power-up sequence and Information screen.
Note: The identification number may not begin with the letter sequence “MR”.
4. Click Program Adapter. A progress bar is supplied below this button, for visual convenience. Do not disconnect the communication cable until this process is complete, denoted by the PASS or FAIL indicator.
