4. Removing or Relocating Your Test System
The test system must be powered down before attaching or removing cables. When the
connectors are not in use, please ensure that they are covered with the connector covers
all the time. No cable should exceed 3 metres in length.
Note: in the case of -xt systems, or if using a touch screen controller, it is advisable to
remove the touch screen console from the test system before moving the machine.
4.1 Lifting the test system
Use safe handling procedures to remove heavy items from the packaging, if
you are unsure how to safely move the test system, consult your
organisation’s health and safety representative or contact your local
Mecmesin agent for assistance.
The specification in your relevant operation manual gives the weight of the
test system. Use suitable lifting equipment if required. The preferred
method of lifting all twin-column systems is by use of the supplied lifting
eye-bolts fitted to the top of both columns. If in doubt, consult your local
supplier to ensure continued safe use.
4.2 Disabling and scrapping
When the test system has reached the end of its useful life, it should be decommissioned.
Remove the electricity supply cable to the test frame and, if appropriate, the console
power adaptor.
Dispose of the test system in accordance with all local and national safety
and environmental requirements.
