Appendix 2
: A Guide to the Safe Use of Mains Powered Test Frames
Mecmesin test frames have been designed and manufactured in a controlled system
to ensure compliance with all relevant European Union Directives. Visit the
Mecmesin website www.mecmesin.com to download the appropriate European
Union documentation.

Receiving and Unpacking

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. Note in particular that attempting to lift the MultiTest 5-x without at least two
suitable people should be avoided under all circumstances. Similarly, attempting to
lift either the MultiTest 10-x or MultiTest 25-x without special lifting equipment
should be avoided. Once safely removed from the packaging, the test frame should
be placed on a stable work surface; then it should be inspected 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 supplier immediately who will decide the most appropriate
action to rectify the situation as quickly as possible.

Installing the Machine

After placing the machine on a stable and level work surface and in the case of the
MultiTest 5-x, bolting it down, 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.
