Customer Responsibilities
It is the customer's responsibility to have the facility ready to install the system and move the system to its
final testing location. It is also the customer's responsibility to have the proper insurance to ensure safe
transport of the system. Facility preparation includes:
• Provide electrical power available for the frame, controller, and peripherals where the system will be
located. This includes the requisite supplementary ground connection.
• Provide filtered dry air pressure for pneumatic components and water for component cooling, where the
system will be located, if applicable.
• Ensure a clear path from the receiving dock to the space where the system will be located.
• Provide a suitable, flat, level and sturdy surface on which to place the load frame.
• Have proper lifting and moving equipment such as a forklift and overhead crane available.
• When the Field Service Engineer arrives for installation, have necessary support people available such
as:
• Lab managers and operators for initial training
• Information technology personnel for networking support
• Moving the system to its final testing location. This includes:
• Get the system off the delivery truck and onto the receiving dock.
• Uncrate the frame and the (optional) table.
• Install the lifting hoist rings into the lift points.
• Move the frame, (optional) table, and remaining boxes to the frame's final testing location.
• Mount the frame to a suitably robust table.
When all of the above have been satisfied, call MTS and arrange installation.
The following subsections provide detailed information on facility preparation, moving the system, and
insurance.
Facility Requirements
Proper site preparation is imperative so that the test system operates in accordance with its specifications
and provides accurate test results. The customer must ensure that the site requirements are satisfied prior
to scheduling the installation appointment.
Handling and Transporting
Unless specifically arranged otherwise, it is the customer's responsibility to arrange the off-loading, unpacking,
and moving of the test system and accessories to the final site location. For details on handling and transporting
your system to its final location, see the Lift and Move Instructions.
Upon special arrangements, an MTS service engineer can supervise the offloading and transportation of the
load frame to its final site. Contact the MTS Service department or your local MTS office for additional
information on this service.
