MECMESIN TEST FRAMES 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 and level 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.
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 been 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.
