Unpacking
Initial inspection should include checking for physical dam-
age during shipping and obvious external damage to the
product.
Package contents are defined by your packing list. Each
Loader is configured according to customer specifications.
In your inspection, make certain that the contents of your
shipment match the documentation provided by your pack-
ing list.
Place unit on a flat, smooth surface and use leveling feet
(supplied) and a bubble level to ensure that the unit is level
side-to-side and back-to-front.
Installation and Equipment Setup
Electrical Connections
The HM-5760 is equipped with an internal digital switching
power supply, which allows it to be used with most power
configurations throughout the world. The unit is supplied
with an IEC electrical cord with a standard 110V plug.
The HM-5760 arrives ready for operation. Attach the sup-
plied IEC electrical cord to the machine and plug into a
standard wall receptacle for use in the United States. For
locations other than the U.S., replace the supplied electrical
cord with an IEC cord that has the correct plug for your ap-
plication. The supplied cord can also be used by cutting the
standard plug from the cord and attaching the correct plug.
Power Switch
The Power Switch is located on the upper right hand corner
of the back of the machine, above the electrical cord inlet.
The Fuse Compartment is located between the electrical
cord inlet and the Power Switch. The HM-5760 uses a 10
amp fuse. To begin operation, attach the supplied electrical
cord, plug it in and press the Power Switch.

Air Connection
A constant supply of clean, dry air is required for operation. The
air connection is located in the rear of the base cabinet, see photo
below. The air connection is 1/4” (6mm) OD. Insert tubing (sup-
plied) into the quick-connect until it bottoms out, and make sure
the connections are tight.
The inlet air pressure should not exceed 150psi (1000 kpa). Mini-
mum air pressure should be set at least 20psi higher than expected
operating pressure. For a maximum vertical operating load of 10kN
(2000 lb), the pressure required would be 95psi.
See pages 23-24 for more information about air supply accessories
for your HM-5760.
Instrumentation Connections and Setup
HM-5760 Rear Instrumentation Panel
Above is a photo of the rear instrumentation panel of the HM-5760.
Network (1)
Ethernet input for connecting machine to a local area net-
work (LAN) and/or the internet.
USB Power (2)
The USB Power port is used for powering a wireless access
appliance for those who want to use a wireless LAN setup.
Instrument Inputs (3)
The panel features four (4) inputs for connecting instrumentation
to the machine. Each input represents a separate channel, and has
been assigned and calibrated to a specific instrument for use with
your HM-5760.

Once you have installed the instrumentation into the correct
inputs, your rear panel should look like this:
Below are photos of an instrumentation input and the in-
strumentation plug. Install the plugs into the inputs by lining
up the guide at the bottom of the plug with the slot at the
bottom of the input.
Remember, your HM-5760 Direct/Residual Shear Machine
includes all the necessary instrumentation, which is already
calibrated and assigned to an Input and will not need
calibration, however you should confirm that the
instrumentation has been set up and calibrated, that
you have plugged them into the correct channel, and that
you check with your QC/QA program to set up a frequency
of calibration schedule.

DO NOT RECALIBRATE!
When your HM-5760 is first turned on, the screen below will
appear.
Navigate to the bottom of this drop-down menu and click
on System Settings (1). You will see the following screen.
From this screen, to confirm your machine instrumentation has
been calibrated, navigate to the Calibration section by clicking
the Menu icon in the top left corner of the screen (1). When you
click on this button, you will see a drop-down menu appear, see
below.

Calibration Input Screen
The Calibration Input Screen (above) is used to monitor and
calibrate instrumentation and assign them to specific chan-
nels of the HM-5760. The Calibration Input Screen provides
a summary of the calibration status of each channel. At this
time, verify the calibration information.
A green box at the left of a channel indicates that the chan-
nel has instrumentation assigned to it and that it is calibrated
and ready for use (1).

Calibration Input Screen, cont.
Each channel has a “Limits On” check box (1). Use the Limits
On to keep the machine from exceeding the sensor limits of
the instrumentation. By selecting this option, before the test
can exceed the limits of the sensors, all tests will stop run-
ning and the motor will stop to avoid damaging connected
instrumentation.
Note: An input cannot be calibrated during testing.
Units (2)
In this field, a calibrated instrument will display the units
that were chosen for use at the time of calibration. This field
can also be used to automatically toggle conversion of units
between lb.-in. and SI units if the need arises.
Value (3)
This field displays the current calibration value. This value
should already be set with 3 decimal point accuracy (1)
below. If the instrument is not calibrated, the unit will read
“N/A.”

For the HM-5760, values for vertical and horizontal loads will
be set at 10.000kN (2000.0 lb), for vertical displacement this
value will be set at 10.000mm (0.4000”) and for horizontal
displacement this value will be set at 25.000mm (1.000”)
Export Calibration via USB (4)
Press this button to select calibrations to export via USB. It
is a good practice to export all your calibrations to a thumb
drive. In case of a problem this practice allows you to recover
your calibration data quickly.

Preferences – General Tab
The Preferences panel is comprised of four (4) tabs and
defaults to the General tab, see above.
Logger ID (1)
Each machine that is connected to your network requires
a unique Logger ID. These numbers can be assigned any
number between 1-245. In most cases, if you are setting up a
new machine it has been given the Logger ID 1. This would
show in the Logger ID field. (1). If this number conflicts with
another machine’s Logger ID, one of the machines will have
to be changed to another Logger ID.
Sound (2)
Checking this box enables or disables audio feedback for
logger events.
Automatically Update System (3)
Checking this box allows the machine to automatically search
for firmware updates when actively connected to the Inter-
net. The machine will not automatically install updates; it will
