Handset
MTS Criterion Series 40 systems have an interactive handset with control buttons, LED indicators, and a
text display. The handset rests in a holder attached to the test area guard or frame and features a compact
ergonomic design for both right-handed and left-handed operators. There is a large text display that provides
test status information. The handset is used to move the crosshead, as well as to control test starting and
stopping, while the operator stands close to the test specimen.
To use the handset, press the Handset Enable button (13).
