4.3 SITE CONSIDERATIONS Proper site preparation is important to ensure that your FMS force measurement systemoperates in accordance to its published specifications. Customer should consider the following prior to installation and siting of your equipment: • Ensure that the work table or bench where the system is to be placed onto has sufficient strength to carry the weight of the testing frame and all of its connected components. A table with leveling feet is preferred. • Ensure that the table top can make use of optional anti-skid clips if required. Skid clips are bolted to the table therefore the table material should allow for drilling holes and attaching screws or bolts. Anti-skid clips are not required, but may be recommended for certain types of tests. • The frame is not located against a wall or other object that may interfere with air ventilation around the frame base and column. Proper air ventilation is required to dissipate the heat generated from the internal components and motor. • The site is free of vibrations and away from other equipment that can cause vibration, e.g. compressors. • There is adequate clearance between the frame's top cap and ceiling. Starrett recommends at least 24 inches of clearance. • The system is accessible for routine service. Much of the service is performed at the back of the machine. Allow at least three (3) feet of space on all sides of the frame. • The electrical power source rating is within the voltage rating specified for the machines. • The electrical power source is within 8 ft. (2.4m) from the system. • The power cord to the tester and from the power source should be easily accessible, allowing a user to unplug the power cord immediately if necessary.
4.5 CONNECTING SYSTEM COMPONENTS This section will describe how to connect components to your FMS frame. CAUTION Electrical Hazard. Do not connect power cables when the power switch is in the ON position.
4.5.1 INSTALLING THE L2 CONTROLLER The L2 Controller attaches to the FMS column. The column is fitted with a ball joint. The L2 Controller attaches to a plate with a ball joint. An adjustable RAM arm attaches to both ball joints. The RAM arm lets you position the L2 Controller for maximum comfort and easy operation.
WARNING • Never use extension cords with your system. • The test site meets the system's environmental specifications.
4.4 INPUT POWER Your FMS system has a self regulating power input module. There are no jumpers to set. Simply plug the power cord into a clear source of power. IMPORTANT Make sure the power source voltage is within the published frame specifications. CAUTION Use a 3-wire, grounded main power cable for the FMS frame and L2 Controller. IMPORTANT Make sure the power cord to the power entry connector, located on the back of the FMS frame is easily accessible so that power can be disconnected from the power source immediately if required.
