General Warnings

Safety Warnings

Operators should take care to operate this machine under the maximum

load restrictions. The machine is programmed at the factory to provide

safety shutdown if the upper or lower maximum travel is exceeded as well

as if the upper instrument calibration is exceeded.

Electrical Warnings

Typically, there is no reason for the operator to open the machine.

However, if the customer’s engineers attempt to change settings to the

circuit board connected to the back panel, the machine must always be

unplugged before this operation. Unplugging the internal connection to

the back panel circuit board while the machine is under power will result

in permanent damage to the circuit board.

Quick Start Guide

Startup Scenarios

If your HM-3000 was purchased with instrumentation for

one speciﬁc test: the instrumentation has been installed and

calibrated. There is no need to conﬁgure or calibrate the machine.

It is ready for use.

DO NOT RECALIBRATE!

Refer to the Installation and Setup Section and then proceed to the

section for the speciﬁc test desired.

If your HM-3000 was purchased with instrumentation

for multiple tests: one of those tests is ready for use and the

additional tests may or may not require the mounting of a different

transducer than the one that is currently mounted. However all

instrumentation shipped with your unit is calibrated and assigned

speciﬁc channels for use. These channels are marked on the

corresponding instrumentation. Unless it is required by your

QC/QA program, there is no need to conﬁgure or calibrate the

machine. It is ready for use.

DO NOT RECALIBRATE!

Refer to the Installation and Setup Section and then proceed to the

section for the speciﬁc test desired.

If your HM-3000 was purchased without instrumentation

for speciﬁc tests: you will need to acquire, check compatibility,

mount and calibrate your instrumentation for use with the

HM-3000.

Refer to the Installation and Setup Section to make sure if your

instrumentation is compatible with the HM-3000. You will need

to calibrate your instrumentation, please refer to conﬁguration and

calibration instructions.You can then proceed to the Section for

the speciﬁc test desired.

Installation and Set-up

Unpacking

Initial inspection should include checking for physical damage during

shipping and obvious external damage to the product.

Packagecontentsaredenedbyyourpackinglist.EachMasterLoaderis

conﬁgured according to customer speciﬁcations. In your inspection, make

certain that the contents of your shipment match the documentation

provided by your packing list.

Placeunitonaat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.

Electrical Connections

The HM-3000 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-3000 arrives ready for operation. Attach the supplied 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 with the correct plug for your application. The supplied cord

can also be used by cutting the standard plug from the cord and attaching

the correct plug.

Instrument Inputs (load cell/transducer connections)

The HM-3000 has 4 instrumentation inputs located on the back panel to ac-

commodate load cell/transducer connections. This feature allows you to set

up and calibrate up to 4 different instruments, which the unit can quickly

switch between for those needing to do multiple types of tests.

If you purchased load cells/transducers with your unit, they will either be

mounted and calibrated, or in the case of multiple load cells/transducers,

will be calibrated but not mounted. Additional load cells/transducers will

be marked to indicate what input channel was used in the calibration; and,

these load cells/transducers should be connected to the indicated channels.

Third-party load cells/transducers, which are compatible, can also be used

with the HM-3000. Compatible units will have an excitation voltage of

0-10voltsandanoutputof0-100millivolts.Priortouseallthird-party

instrumentationmustbeconguredandcalibratedforuse.Pleasereferto

the Conﬁguration and Calibration sections of this manual.

If you are using third-party cables for load cells/transducers connections,

make sure they are wired to be compatible with the HM-3000. Consult

Figure#1foracompatiblereferencewiringdiagram.Plugstoconnect

third-party instrumentation to the Humboldt HM-3000 are available, order

part HM-000474.

Mounting Load Cells and Transducers

If you purchased your HM-3000 with instrumentation, one of the load cell/

transducer setups should already be mounted. If you are using the machine

for multiple tests or want to use instrumentation not included, including

third-party instrumentation, the following photos can be used as a guide for

load cells/transducers setup.

on the back panel of the machine (refer to Figures 7 & 8.). Use a RS-232

cable (supplied) and attach it between the computer’s RS-232 port and

the HM-3000.
