7. Operation
7.1 Scope of Use
Mecmesin interlocked guarding helps to provide additional ingress protection against
foreign objects while also reducing the risk of an operator coming into contact with a
moving test stand.
The guard is designed to be used in a dry, clean and tidy environment and should be placed
on a stable and load appropriate work platform away from potentially hazardous
environments or items.
Mecmesin motorised test stands are designed to be used while under constant supervision,
the addition of an interlocked guard does not alter this requirement, failure to monitor a test
stand in operation could lead to damage to the equipment or injury to others.
The interlocked machine guard has the following primary functions:

Provide ingress protection to operators when using the machine. To prevent hand
trap conditions or deliberate interaction with the test area during the test sequence.

The ability to end a test sequence or ensure that the machine motor drive is inhibited
if the interlock circuit is broken (door opened).

Permanently enable/disable interlock function with a removable key or override
plug.
Although the guarding’s design will stop ejection of some materials, it is not
designed to act as a shield against projectiles created during a test. The primary
function of the guarding is to provide ingress protection.
Should there be a need to calibrate the machine, or perform maintenance or
service tasks to be completed, the interlock can be disabled with appropriate
authorisation.
