General Safety Practices
Multi-Pump Control Manager Safety

Know the causes of
unexpected actuator
motions
The high force and velocity capabilities of MTS actuators can be destructive and
dangerous (especially if actuator motion is unexpected). The most likely causes
of unexpected actuator response are operator error and equipment failure due to
damage or abuse (such as broken, cut, or crushed cables and hoses; shorted wires;
overstressed feedback devices; and damaged components within the servocontrol
loop). Eliminate any condition that could cause unexpected actuator motion.
Do not use RF
transmitters
Keep radio frequency (RF) transmitters away from the workstation computers,
remote terminals, and electronics consoles. Intense RF fields can cause erratic
operation of the more sensitive circuits in the system.
