Computer Console Considerations
Packaging and movement of the computer console is similar to the electronic
console. Other peripheral components (such as disk drives) that are susceptible to
dust contamination should be placed away from obvious sources of
contamination, and the room should be slightly positively pressurized to prevent
migration of dust and dirt into the room.
When You Get Your System
Operation of your system can involve exposure to hazardous situations: high
voltages are present at the hydraulic power unit and the control consoles. The
control consoles control the movement of the actuator which uses high pressure
hydraulic fluid. Because of these potential hazards, your system is provided with
documentation that includes information on safety practices. Read this
information before attempting to operate your system.
If the source of cooling water is a cooling tower, the presence of contaminants
that are corrosive to metals will vary over time. Contaminants must be controlled
to the quantities listed in the following table. Ideally, the pH should be
maintained in the 6.5-8.0 range for most applications, and chlorine should be
used to limit the growth of microbiologic organisms that are generated by protein
decay. You must be careful not to use excessive amounts of chlorine: the chloride
concentration in the cooling water must be kept to less than 5 ppm.
