Electrical Disconnect

Ensure that there is access and adequate room behind the frame to allow electrical disconnection of the
power cord. Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or inspecting any part of the test frame.

When the hard cord kit option is used, the customer is responsible for providing an electrical power disconnect
that is easy to operate and easy to reach. It must also meet IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 standards.

Recommended circuit breakers would be ones that are of the thermal-magnetic type with characteristics
suitable for large inductive loads (D-type trip characteristic). If fuses are used, it is recommended that they
are of the time-delay type with dual elements. These recommendations should be followed to avoid nuisance
tripping.

Installing Cables

Exercise care when connecting cables. Ensure that you use the correct cables and that all connections are
secure. When you are finished, double-check to ensure that all components are connected properly.

To maintain EMC compliance and help ensure optimal performance, MTS recommends ordering all system
cables from MTS. Cables should be installed so that they are protected from conditions that could damage
the cable.

Caution:

There is dangerous voltage inside the machine.

Connecting cables with power applied can cause damage to the equipment.

Ensure that the power is turned off before connecting cables.
