General Safety Practices
The Multi-Pump Control Manager (MPCM) product family consists of a Basic
Connection Interface (BCI) and typically the optional dedicated PC running the
Supervisor software, with remote E-Stops, Station Flow Managers (SFM), and/or
light stacks as options. Together, these components allow you to remotely run
multiple HPUs similar to operation at the main HPU HMI panel.
The HPU provides high-pressure hydraulic fluid to system components for
system operation. This section provides general information about safety issues
that pertain to system hydraulic supply and distribution components. These
issues include statements to the intended use and foreseeable misuse of the
system and definition for the graphical hazard labeling that is affixed to your
product, and other (more general) safety information that relates to the high-
pressure and high-performance characteristics of MTS servohydraulic and
electromechanical systems.
When you prepare to operate a system that includes hydraulic components,
ensure the following:
• Do not use or allow personnel to operate the system who are not
experienced, trained, or educated in the inherent dangers associated with
high-performance servo hydraulics and who are not experienced, trained, or
educated with regard to the intended operation as it applies to this test
system.
• Do not disable safety components or features (including limit detectors,
light curtains, or proximity switches/detectors).
• Do not attempt to operate the system without appropriate personal safety
gear (for example, hearing, hand, and eye protection).
• Do not modify the system or replace system components using parts that are
not MTS component parts or effect repairs using parts or components that
are not manufactured to MTS specifications.
• Do not use the system in a test area where uncontrolled access to the test
system is allowed when the system is in operation.
• For servohydraulic systems, do not operate the system unless an interlock is
installed to monitor supply pressure into the HSM and initiate a system
interlock if a low or no pressure event occurs.
• Mists of DTE 25 are combustible. Refer to MSDS. You are responsible for
fire prevention measures as per facility or building or other local regulations
and codes
If you have system-related responsibilities (that is, if you are an operator, service
engineer, or maintenance person), you should study safety information carefully
before you attempt to perform any test system procedure.
