Frame and Work Area
MTS X Clean frame and work area.
There are no customer serviceable components on the MTS Criterion frames. Maintenance consists of
keeping the frame and work area clean, general inspection, checking interlocks, and scheduled frame
calibration.
Warning :
Be careful not to spill cleaning liquid on the frame.
Inadvertent electrical component contamination with detergents or cleaning fluids can cause
circuits to short, resulting in equipment damage. Cleaning solution can cause damage and
injury.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning or inspecting any part of the
test frame. To avoid hazardous conditions, always follow the manufacturer's recommendations
and cautions.
General Cleaning
Clean the frame 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 limit—a limit switch fault should be indicated on
the computer screen.
Verify any additional interlocks are functioning properly (for example, the interlock switches on the door
of a test area enclosure).
Semiannual Maintenance
Verify the speed and position accuracy of the frame. This requires standards and other equipment typically
not available for routine maintenance. Contact your MTS field service engineer for assistance.
