Unpacking

Initial inspection should include checking for physical

damage during shipping and obvious external damage

to the product.
Package contents are defi ned by your packing list. Each

Load Frame is confi gured according to customer specifi ca-

tions. In your inspection, make certain that the contents of

your shipment match the documentation provided by your

packing list.
Place unit on a fl 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.

Installation and Equipment Setup

Electrical Connections

The HM-5820 is equipped with an internal digital switching

power supply, which allows it to be used with most power

confi gurations throughout the world. The unit is supplied

with an IEC electrical cord with a standard 110V plug.
The HM-5820 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 left side of the back of

the machine, above the electrical cord inlet. The Fuse Com-

partment is located between the electrical cord inlet and the

Power Switch. The HM-5820 uses a 10-amp fuse. To begin

operation, attach the supplied electrical cord, plug it in and

press the Power Switch.
