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.
