Mecmesin VersaTest Operating Instructions Manual Download Page 5

Your VersaTest should be supplied with the following accessories:
* These Operating Instructions
* Translation of Appendix 2 [does not apply to English-speaking countries, or countries outside the European Union (EU)]
* Dovetail bracket (fitted to the crosshead)
* Appropriate mains cable
* Allen keys for crosshead dovetail and safety stop
* Four rubber feet, four attachment screws and Allen key if necessary

MECMESIN TEST STANDS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN A CONTROLLED SYSTEM TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ALL 
RELEVANT EUROPEAN COMMUNITY DIRECTIVES.

Receiving and Unpacking

1.

Upon receiving the Mecmesin test frame ensure adequate equipment is available to safely lift the test frame from the packaging.  Trying 
to lift  heavy items without adequate assistance or the correct equipment may lead to accidental personal injury.

2.

Once safely removed from the packaging place the test frame on a stable work surface.  Inspect the machine for any signs of obvious transit 
damage.

IF ANY DAMAGE IS DISCOVERED DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER WITH INSTALLATION AND DO NOT CONNECT TO MAINS SUPPLY UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES.

Contact your local Mecmesin supplier immediately who will decide the most appropriate action to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.

Installing the Machine

3. 

After placing the machine on a stable and level work surface, check that the mains inlet voltage corresponds to your electrical installation - 
either 230 Vac or 110 Vac.  The machine has a label close to the mains inlet connector which advises which voltage it is set for.

If the machine does not correspond to your supply, inform your local Mecmesin supplier who will rectify the situation.

Connecting a mains powered test frame to the wrong supply will almost certainly cause extensive damage to the equipment.

The Mecmesin test frames must only ever be connected to a mains power installation that has a fully installed earthing system.

CONNECTING A  MAINS POWERED TEST FRAME TO AN ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLET WITHOUT AN EARTH CONNECTION IS EXTREMELY 
DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.

4.

After all the above points have been checked and confirmed to be correct you may connect the machine to the mains outlet only with the 
supplied mains lead.

Ensuring the emergency stop button is not depressed, when power is applied the mains indicator light will illuminate.  This shows power is 
reaching the machine and is therefore ready for use.

Check its basic operation with reference to the operating manual.
