18 Safety
Stay clear of mechanical linkages, connecting cables, and hoses that move
because you can get pinched, crushed, tangled, or dragged along with the
equipment. High forces generated by the system can pinch, cut, or crush anything
in the path of the equipment and cause serious injury. Stay clear of any potential
crush points. Most test systems can produce sudden, high-force motion. Never
assume that your reactions are fast enough to allow you to escape injury when a
system fails.
The high force and velocity capabilities of MTS systems can be destructive and
dangerous (especially if crosshead motion is unexpected). The most likely causes
of unexpected crosshead response are operator error and equipment failure due to
damage or abuse (such as broken, cut, or crushed cables and hoses; shorted wires;
overstressed feedback devices; and damaged components within the control
loop). Eliminate any condition that could cause unexpected crosshead motion.
Keep radio frequency (RF) transmitters away from the workstation computers,
remote terminals, and electronics consoles. Intense RF fields can cause erratic
operation of the more sensitive circuits in the system.
The following hazard labels and icons are located on the test frame.
