Warnings 1
LD Series Operation Manual
Warnings
Operators of LD Series Materials Testers must heed the following warnings at all times.
! WARNING: Crush Hazard—Allow only one person to handle or operate the system at a time.
Operator injury may result if more than one person operates the system. Before working
inside the hazard area between grips or xtures, ensure that no other personnel can
operate the computer or any of the system controls.
! WARNING: Crush Hazard—Take care when installing or removing a specimen, assembly, struc-
ture, or load string component.
Installation or removal of a specimen, assembly, structure, or load string component in-
volves working inside the hazard area between the grips and xtures. Keep clear of the
jaws of a grip or xture at all times. Keep clear of the hazard area between the grips or
xtures during actuator or crosshead movement. Ensure that all actuator or crosshead
movements necessary for installation or removal are slow and, where possible, at a low
force setting.
! WARNING: Hazard—Press the Emergency Stop button whenever you consider that an unsafe
condition exists.
The Emergency Stop button removes power or electrical drive from the testing system
and brings the hazardous elements of the system to a stop as quickly as possible. It does
not isolate the system from electrical power—other means are provided to disconnect
the electrical supply. If you are concerened that safety may be compromised, stop the
test using the Emergency Stop button. Investigate and resolve the situation that caused
the use of the Emergency Stop button before you reset it.
! WARNING: Flying Debris Hazard—Make sure that test specimens are installed correctly in grips
or xtures in order to eliminate stresses that can cause breakage of grip jaws or
xture components.
Incorrect installation of test specimens creates stresses in grip jaws or xture compo-
nents that can result in breakage of these components. The high energies involved can
cause the broken parts to be projected forcefully some distance from the test area. In-
stall specimens in the center of the grip jaws in line with the load path. Insert specimens
into the jaws by at least the amount recommended in your grip documentation. This
amount can vary between 66% to 100% insertion depth. Refer to supplied instructions
for your specic grips. Use any centering and alignment devices provided.
! WARNING: Hazard—Protect electrical cables from damage and inadvertent disconnection.
The loss of controlling and feedback signals that can result from a disconnected or
damaged cable causes an open loop condition that may drive the actuator or crosshead
rapidly to its extremes of motion. Protect all electrical cables, particularly transducer ca-
bles, from damage. Never route cables across the oor without protection, nor suspend
cables overhead under excessive strain. Use padding to avoid chang where cables are
routed around corners or through wall openings.
! WARNING: Electrical Hazard—Disconnect the electrical power mains before removing the
covers to electrical equipment.
Disconnect equipment from the electrical power mains before removing any electrical
safety covers or replacing fuses. Do not reconnect the power source while the covers
are removed. Ret covers as soon as possible.
! WARNING: High/Low Temperature Hazard—Wear protective clothing when handling equip-
ment at temperature extremes.
Materials testing is often carried out an non-ambient temperatures using ovens, fur-
naces, or cryogenic chambers. Extreme temperature means an operating temperature
exceeding 60° C (140° F) or below 0° C (32° F). Use protective clothing such as gloves
when handling equipment at these temperatures. Display a warning notice concerning
low or high temperature operation whenever temperature control equipment is in use.
You should note that the hazard from extreme temperature can extend beyond the
immediate area of the test.
! WARNING: Hazard—Do not place a testing system o-line from computer control without
rst ensuring that no actuator or crosshead movement will occur upon transfer to
manual control.
The actuator or crosshead will immediately respond to manual control settings when
the system is placed o-line from computer control. Before transferring to manual con-
trol, make sure that the control settings are such that unexpected actuator or crosshead
movement cannot occur.
IMPORTANT: When the machine has been installed and before it is ready for use, the nal user must conduct the nal Risk Assessment on the machine,
including all such safety measures (shields, guards, etc) to satisfy the requirements of the Machinery Directive and EHSR (Essential Health and Safety Requirements).
The nal user must take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of the operator, other people, machines and property by providing guards, shields, screen, adequate lighting,
adequate ventilation. Factors aecting required safety measures include industry, application, material under test, and location of use.

Warnings 2
LD Series Operation Manual
! WARNING: Robotic Motion Hazard—Keep clear of the operating envelope of a robotic device
unless the device is deactivated.
The robot in an automated testing system presents a hazard because its movements
are dicult to predict. The robot can go instantly from a waiting state to high speed
operation in several axis of motion. During system operation, remain outside of the
operating envelope of the robot. Deactivate the robot before entering the envelope for
any purpose, such as reloading the specimen magazine.
! WARNING: Hazard—Set the appropriate limits before performing tests.
Operational limits are included within the testing system to suspend motion or shut o
the system when upper and/or lower bounds of actuator or crosshead travel, or force or
strain are reached during testing. Correct setting of operational limits by the operator,
prior to testing, will reduce the risk of damage to test article and system, and associated
hazard to the operator.
! WARNING: Rotating Machinery Hazard—Never operate the machine with the covers removed.
If a cover must be removed, rst disconnect equipment from mains power. Do not
reconnect any power supply while the covers are removed. Ret covers as soon as
possible.
! WARNING: Explosion Hazard—Wear eye protection and use protective shields or screens when-
ever any possibility exists of a hazard from the failure of a specimen, assembly, or
structure under test.
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, assembly, or struc-
ture, particularly where explosive disintegration may occur. Due to the wide range of
specimen materials, assemblies, or structures that may be tested, any hazard resulting
from the failure of a test specimen, assembly, or structure is entirely the responsibility of
the owner and user of the equipment.
! WARNING: Hazard—Ensure components of the load string are correctly pre-loaded to minimize
the risk of fatigue failure.
Visually inspect highly stressed components such as grips and threaded adapters prior
to every test for signs of wear or fatigue damage.
! WARNING: Always maintain a clean work area free of debris or obstructions.
Remove load from any samples and ensure machine is not moving before cleaning or
removing debris from the machine.
! WARNING: Hazard—From Stored Potential Energy.
If power is lost while a sample if under load, the crosshead may remain in its current
position. In this case, it can only be moved by restoring power. Until such time, a stored
potential energy in the sample may present a hazard.
! WARNING:
Ensure adequate lighting of work area.
! WARNING:
Install machine in an area that will not allow the user to become distracted.
! WARNING: Hazard—Risk of electric shock. Never operate machine with covers removed.
! WARNING: Hazard—Risk of electric shock. Do not replace the mains power cord with an
inadequately rated cord.
! CAUTION: User-performed maintenance is not required, and should not be performed on
the LD Series Dual Column Test Stand. If maintenance is required, please contact
AMETEK for service.

SETTING UP THE LD SERIES
If this equipment is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. The LD Series should be in-
stalled in an area where adequate lighting is present in order to ensure safe use. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not block airow to fans or vents on the enclosure.
Note: Do not position the LD Series so that it is dicult to operate. The mains supply machine socket should be easily accessible so that the mains power may
be disconnected in case of an emergency.
The LD Series is a heavy machine and great care should be taken in choosing the location where it is installed. If it is to be bench mounted, ensure that
the bench is capable of remaining rm and stable, and able to withstand the combined weight of the machine and any mounted accessories. See Speci-
cations on page15 for the weight of the LD Series. The LD Series must be vertical, whether bench or oor mounted. If not vertical, results may be aected,
particularly for very low load.

POGO TESTING
AMETEK produces a range of Lloyd Instruments machines that can be mounted on specially designed frames that can be used for testing a wide range of
bulky items such as cardboard cartons, crates, and furniture.
Machines congured with the POGO option have a linear bearing tted in a xed lower crosshead. A rod running through the crosshead connects the load
cell and compression platens which are mounted in the frame below the material testing machine.
Typical installation of an LD Series on a Pogo.
Preparing the LD Series for Pogo Testing
Note: Since the size and specications of Pogo mounting frames will vary depending on individual customer requirements, the following is a general proce-
dure for preparing the LD Series for Pogo testing. Refer to the instructions for set up and wiring supplied with your individual mounting frame.
XTo Prepare the LD Series for Pogo Testing
1 Position the Pogo mounting frame.
2 Fit the frame mounting plates to the LD Series.

Grips and Adapters
We oer a complete line of grips and adapters to meet your specic needs. Each can be found on our website at ametektest.com with individual catalogs
and specications included.
XInstalling the Grips
When installing the heavy upper grips on the load cell, avoid bumping the eye end. If the grip is a close t, DO NOT FORCE IT. Set, or re-set, the bottom limit
stop so the grips will not meet when the crosshead is lowered.
In both tension and compression tests, center the specimen in line with the axis of the load cell and the bottom xed anchor pin to avoid side thrust.
Proper alignment of the test specimen.
Note: In compression tests, care must be taken to avoid bringing the platens together or against solid specimens at high speed. Ensure that the lower cross-
head limit is set correctly. If a special lower xture is used, ensure that it is xed in position so that it does not block the normal downward movement
of the upper xture.
Avoid overloading beyond the rated capacity of the load cell. Prior to testing ensure that the maximum force anticipated will not exceed the capacity of the
cell installed.
Lloyd Instruments load cells are built to exceed the standards as set out by ASTM, BS, DIN etc. Load cells on all models of LD Series machines are user-change-
able. Various capacities are available from 5N up to the capacity of the frame. While cells may be used below 10% of capacity, it is recommended to use a lower
force cell such that the test force will fall in the upper 90% of its range. This will give the best signal to noise performance of the load measuring system.
For some samples, the LD Series alone will not provide the most accurate strain analysis available. To increase accuracy, we suggest one of our many Lloyd
Instrument extensometers. Our extensometers can be added to an LD Series machine, and the results can be read by our NexygenPlus software.
For details on our various extensometers, please visit our website at ametektest.com.
