MTS Acumen Electrodynamic - Manual (Page 40)

Load Unit Considerations
The load unit is typically shipped in a horizontal position on a pallet or in a crate. Lifting and moving instructions
that describe proper handling methods are placed in a protective envelope and shipped with the load unit.
These instructions include recommended methods to remove the unit from the pallet, raise the unit erect,
and move it into position; for additional information, see the Lift and Move Guide. Read all provided instructions
carefully to understand how to handle the weight of the components. It is recommended that personnel
experienced in the practice of rigging for construction and industrial operations be employed. The proper use
of lifting slings where the center of gravity is elevated above the floor is essential to the safety of personnel
and equipment.
The routing path of the electrical cables should be noted with respect to any obstructions that could cause
the cable to be abraded by rubbing during machine operation. It is recommended that electrical cabling be
protected to prevent damage caused by dropping specimens and tools, or by walking on them. Sufficient
space should also be left around the load unit for maintenance and final hook-ups.
Computer Console Considerations
Packaging and movement of the computer console is similar to the load unit. Other peripheral components
(such as disk drives) that are susceptible to dust contamination should be placed away from obvious sources
of contamination, and the room should be slightly positively pressurized to prevent migration of dust and dirt
into the room.
