5. Safety rules
It is necessary to follow the safety rules. Obeying this
rules is crucial to avoid electrical shock, damaging the
stand or other connected devices.
Repairs and necessary regulations can be done by authorized personnel
only
To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with stand)
and supply voltage must be compatible with specified technical data.
Do not use the stand if the cover is open.
Do not use the stand in explosive conditions.
Do not use the stand in high humidity environment.
If the stand does not seem to operate properly, turn it off and don’t use it
until checked by authorized service centre.
During measurements keep safe distance from the moving elements
and the sample.
6. Disposal rules
According to current acts of low about protection of
natural environment, wasted balances should not be put
into waste containers together with ordinary waste.
Wasted stand after operation period can be delivered to units authorised
for gathering wasted electronic devices or to the place where it was
bought.

7. Preparing to work
The stand must be used in room where the following requirements must be
fulfilled: temperature must be between 0 to 40°C, air humidity 20% ÷80%.
Preparing device to work:
1. Put the stand on flat stable surface.
2. Carefully mount a force meter to the stand by using supplied mounting
element.
3. Connect supply to stand.
4. Connect force meter to supply (if user doesn’t use internal accumulators).
5. Turn on the force meter (press ON/OFF) and the stand (press I/Q ).
6. The stand is ready to work.
Stand must be set in room in such way as to allow easy access
to safety button STOP !

USER MANUAL 7
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. General operation rules
1. Make every effort to put the sample safetly and stable before starting
measurements.
2. During work keep hands in safe distance from sample and moving parts.
During work keep hands in safe distance from sample and
moving parts!
In case of any danger of losing health immediately press safety
button STOP located on the device’s front!

9. Communication interface
The stand is equipped with interfaces: RS232C and USB.
RS232C is used to connect the stand to force meter in order to receive actual force
value from the force meter. Wireless communication is also possible if force meter
is equipped with wireless module.
USB is used to connect computer with stand in order to send measurements to
computer.

After selecting Edit user can choose from:
- ID –inscribing motion program name,
- Steps –inscribing number (max 8) of
steps (actions that are included in one
cycle),
- Ref. Pos. Set –setting position from
which the movement will start,
- Ref. Pos. –value of actual reference
position,
- Cycles –inscribing number of cycles
(how many times the movement will be
repeated) 1 ÷ 9999,
- Auto Return –returning to reference
position,
- Break Stop –automatic detecting that the
sample breaks and stopping the
measurement.
Depending on number of Steps that user will inscribe number of positions on list
will increase. Each step will add positions to the list.

11.2 Manual, Peak, Cycle and Step mode
Manual mode enables to move the force meter by using the knob on the keyboard.
Peak, Cycle and Step modes are simplified modes of Advanced mode.
Peak –used when user wants to measure single peak force.
Cycle –used when user wants to perform many cycles on a object to check its
durability.
Step - used when user wants to set motion steps based on force meter movement
up and down.
12. Main menu
After turning on the stand following menu appears:
User by turning knob changes selected position on the screen and enters it by
pressing the knob or →key. Exit from selected option by pressing ←.
12.1 Home position
Home position –this option moves the force meter to base position. STAV will
also remind about that before loading motion program.
