Insight Material Testing System Maintenance 71
Maintenance
There are no customer serviceable components on the MTS Insight frames.
Maintenance consists of keeping the frame and work area clean, checking
interlocks, and scheduled frame calibration.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning or
inspecting any part of the test frame.
Inadvertent electrical component contamination with detergents or cleaning
fluids can cause circuits to short resulting in equipment damage. Be careful
not to spill and cleaning liquid on the frame.
On MTS Insight 100, 150, 200, and 300 load frames, make sure the wall main
disconnect is off.
Observe all manufacturers recommendations and cautions when using
any cleaning solution.
To avoid hazardous conditions, always follow the manufacturers
recommendations and cautions.
General cleaning
Clean your machine as often as needed. Use a damp, lint-free rag to clean the
side covers, base, and crosshead. If necessary, mild detergent or cleaning
fluid can be used.
Monthly maintenance
Verify that the Emergency Stop button is functioning properly.
Test the limit switches by manually moving the adjustable limits—a limit
switch fault should be indicated on the computer screen.
Verify any additional interlocks are functioning properly. For example the
interlock switch on the door of a test area enclosure.
