*1 Option code -FA (a linear scale built in the stand) is required for force-displacement measurement.
The following User Mounted Units that be mounted by yourself are available only for MX2-5000N, EMX series and MH2-2500N.
MX2-5000N: OP-MX250-FA, EMX series: OP-EMX-FA(-L), MH2-2500N: OP-MH225-FA
EMX series is available only for firmware Ver.2.0 or later. If your test stand’s firmware is earlier than Ver.2.0, it has to be shipped to
our factory to activate this unit. Contact us for more details.
*2 Models with firmware Ver.2.0 or later are available to use the functions. Models with earlier than Ver.2.0 are not available.
*3 The shield is a protection against dust or pieces of samples.
*4 Counter function enables automatic repeat testing for the set number of times.
*5 Timer function sets up pausing time at specified point.
*6 Contact detection and Break detection are not able to be used together.
*7 It is activated only when an optional cable is used together with ZT series (digital force gauge) or FA Plus2 (Digital force analyzer). It
does not guarantee complete protection against overload.
