4.3 SITE CONSIDERATIONS Proper site preparation is important to ensure that your FMM 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. WARNING • Never use extension cords with your FMM system. • The test site meets the system’s environmental specifications. INPUT POWER Your FMM 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. CAUTION 4.4 • Make sure the power source voltage is within the published frame specifications. • Use a 3-wire, grounded main power cable for the FMM frame and L1 tablet.
