Using This Manual Overview This manual contains all the required information to prepare the site where the Rapid 220 test system will be installed. It is recommended to thoroughly read this manual before starting the system installation.
Rapid 220 - Site Preparation Guide Symbols and Syntax To facilitate the understanding of the sentences used to describe the software, we have used the following symbols: WARNING: Indicates a potential hazard for the operator or the system that could result from the action described in the Warning.
WARNING: Seica S.p.A. shall not be liable in the event of damages resulting from the failure to comply with the preliminary requirements described in this section.
Rapid 220 - Site Preparation Guide Characteristics of the floor The floor of the work area must have the following characteristics: Uniform load capacity: 5kN/m (500 kgf/m or 100 psf) Concentrated load(*): 0.91 MPa (0.91 N/mm Floor surface planarity: 5 mm/m...
Provisions for the work area Examples of suitable floors The Rapid 220 test system may be installed on concrete, or tiled floor surface. WARNING: Installation on a non-suitable floor may negatively affect or even impair the accuracy of measurements and the good operating conditions of the test system.
Rapid 220 - Site Preparation Guide Examples of non-suitable floors As explained below, the Rapid 220 test system should not be installed on technical or floating floors, floors covered by sound-deadening materials. Technical floor Also designated as “floating floor” or “raised floor”, this is not suitable to use the test system at maximum speed.
NOTE: This kind of floor cover can be easily cut out around the system feet to let them directly touch the concrete below. Fig. 5 Rapid 220: Example of non-suitable floor (rubber ESD floor) Fitted carpet A floor covered with fitted carped would not have the required rigidity.
Safety recommendations Project criteria The Rapid 220 test system has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the essential safety requirements contained in the Machine Directive 2006/42/EC; in the EMC DIRECTIVE 2014/30/EC (and subsequent amendments) on electromagnetic compatibility; and in the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EC (and subsequent amendments) on electric safety.
Installation category: II Class: I • The electrical power supply source must be located not more than 5 meters from the Rapid 220 and must be accessible by an operator. • The electrical power supply source must be provided with a protective switch located near the power source plug.
≤ 100 ≤ +3 ≤ 1 WARNING: The Rapid 220 is factory-adjusted for operation at 230V, voltage change-over in the field, should be done only by factory-trained service personnel. If not warranty may be voided. Rapid 220 Site Preparation Guide...
