General Safety Measures
If you are relevant to the system (that is, you are an operator, service engineer, or maintenance engineer),
you need to carefully learn relevant safety information before trying to perform any operations on the
system.
You should receive training on this system or similar systems, to ensure that you have fully understood
safety precautions relating to your equipment and the use of the equipment. In addition, you should also
read other Guides delivered alongside the system, to further learn about system functions. For details on
training courses, such as contents and dates, please contact MTS.
It is important for you to read the following safety information, to assure that your operations and system
working environment will not contribute to or cause hazards. Keep in mind that you cannot eliminate all
hazards of the system, so you should understand and remember all applicable hazards at all times. These
safety guidelines can help you understand and identify hazards such that you can develop appropriate
training and operating procedures and acquire proper safety gears (such as gloves, goggles, and hearing
protections, etc.).
Each test system is run in a particular operating environment, which includes the following known
variables:
•factors of the site (such as architectural structure, environment, and its functions);
•the customer's unauthorized modification of equipment;
•experience and professionalism of operators.
•Test Sample.
Because of the above variables and other possible factors, your system may work under unforeseen
circumstances that might contain unknown hazards. Incorrect system installation, operation, or
maintenance may lead to death, personal injuries or equipment/Sample damages. Common sense and
thorough knowledge of the system's performances may help you develop proper and safe operating
methods.

Safety
MTS Exceed®22 Series 13
Safety Practices Before Operating the System
Check all safety practices applicable to the system before powering on the system. The purpose of this is to improve the
safety awareness of all personnel relating to the system and observe and maintain the integrity of specific system
components through naked eye.
Read All the Guides
Prior to your first attempt to perform any system operations, you should read this Guide and all other Guides companying
the system. This will help you get a general idea of the system, so as to avoid possible hazards.
Locating Close/Switch Points
You should learn about the close/switch positions corresponding to each energy source of the system, including
hydraulic, gas, electricity, and water sources, to make sure these energy sources can be isolated from the system when
necessary.
Knowing Plant's Safety Processes
Most facilities have their own internal procedures and regulations as safety practices. You should learn about these safety
practices and apply them in daily system operations.
Learning Controls
When operating the system for the first time, you should run the system according to operating procedures without
powering the system on. Check all hardware and software controls, and understand their functions and what adjustments
should be made. If you feel fuzzy about any control functions or adjustment methods, please consult relevant information
until you have a pretty clear mind.
Getting First Aid Supplies Ready
Accidents may occur even if you are very careful. Please properly arrange the schedule of operators, to ensure that there
will always be properly trained personnel in the vicinity who can carry out first aids. Also, post the local emergency
contact information within the sight of system operators.
Knowing Potential Crush Positions
Know potential crush positions on the system, and keep personnel and equipment away from these areas.
Understanding Electrical Hazards
Minimize risks of electrical shocks after the system is powered on. Wear insulated coveralls and use fully insulated tools
for any electrical operations, and avoid touching bare wires or switch contacts. Turn off the power if possible before
operating or approaching any electrical system components. Abide by precautions for other high-voltage machinery.
Safe Distance of Irrelevant Personnel
Irrelevant personnel should be kept a safe distance from the equipment. When conducting tests, do not let any irrelevant
person to touch the Sample or equipment.

Safety
Wearing Appropriate Outfits
Do not wear a tie, shop aprons, loose clothing, or jewellery, or let the long hair loose, to avoid them being
stuck into equipment, thereby causing personal injuries. Take off your loose clothing or jewellery, or tie
your hair up.
Emptying Combustible Liquids in Sample
Before installing the container or component, empty combustible liquids inside the container or component.
Where necessary, replace combustible liquids with non-flammable ones, to maintain an appropriate
proportion of weight and balance.
Check the bolt classifications and torques
In order to ensure product reliability, the torque of fasteners (such as bolts and connecting rods) in MTS
systems must comply with requirements specified. Due to high strengths and high pressures of MTS testing
equipment, the actual torque higher than or lower than the ratings could lead to dangers..
In rare cases, failures may occur even when fasteners are correctly installed. Faults often occur during
tightening, and may even occur several days later. Such faults may result in fasteners springing off at high
speed. As a result, on-site personnel are better to avoid being on a straight line with or under assemblies that
contain large or long fasteners.
Keeping Indoor Area Clean
Keep the floor of the work area clean. Do not leave any tools, facilities, or other items unrelated to the test
on the floor, system or accessories.
Protecting Hoses and Cables
Avoid cables to be overheated, as they can cause the hardening and, ultimately, failures of cables. Ensure
that appropriate strain relief apparatus is installed near cables and plugs of connectors. Do not use plugs of
connectors to release strain.
Avoid all system hoses and cables to get in touch with sharp or rough objects, as they may cause damages to
hoses or cables. It is forbidden to stampede or use heavy objects to press against hoses or cables. During
considerations of system layout and cabling, cables and hoses should be placed away from areas that may
cause damages to them.
Recording Changes Made
In the event that you make any changes to any operating procedures, record all changes made and the dates
when they are made in the Guide.
Test Area Protection
When testing hazardous Samples (such as crisp or fragile materials, or internally-pressurized materials), use
protective shells, such as cages, shields and special laboratory layout.
Do Not Disable Safety Apparatus
Your system may be equipped with active or passive safety apparatus. Do not disable such apparatus to
avoid unexpected system actions.

Safety
MTS Exceed®22 Series 15
Using Fuses up to Specifications
Whenever fuses of the system or power sources are replaced, ensure that a suitable fuse is used and
installed correctly. Fuses thicker or thinner than the prescribed specifications may lead to overheat of cables
and explosion of the fuse. And either case may cause a fire.
Providing Adequate Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, to minimize the odds of mal-operations, equipment damages, and personal
injuries. Make sure to have a clear vision of all tasks.
Ensuring Equipment Stability
Ensure that the equipment is stable or has been installed with seismic isolation device. Some tests may
cause resonance to the equipment as well as shocks to and movements of the equipment.
Regular Inspection
During impact process, press Scram to check braking torque and respond speed, and check if there is
leakage in air circuit.

Safety Practices During System Operations
Wearing Appropriate Personal Protective Gears
Wear goggles when operating the pendulum impact testing equipment or performing tests on fragile
Samples or on Samples that contain peculiar fragile parts.
If you may be exposed to liquids, chemicals or powders that irritate or damage the skin, the respiratory
system or eyes, wear personal protective equipment (such as gloves, boots, coveralls or respirators).
Test Area Protection
When testing hazardous Samples (such as crisp or fragile materials, or internally-pressurized materials), use
protective shells, such as cages, shields and special laboratory layout.
Sample Temperature Changes
During cyclic testing, the Sample may catch fire due to overheating. So, you need to wear personal
protective gears, such as gloves, when handling Samples.
Handling chemicals safely
When using or handling chemicals (such as cleaning fluids, hydraulic oil, batteries, contaminated parts,
electro-hydraulic solutions, or maintenance wastes), first consult the MSDS document corresponding to the
concerned material, and then adopt measures and devices suitable for the safe handling and use of the
chemical. Ensure that chemicals are handled appropriately.
Do Not Interfere with Encoder
When the power is switched on, do not crash, swing, adjust, disconnect, or otherwise interfere with the
encoder or its cables.
Ensure cable safety
Do not make any changes to cable connections when the system is powered on. Changing cable
connections during equipment operations may lead to fast, abnormal system responses. In addition, make
sure that all cables are properly connected after you have made any changes to system configurations.
Remaining Vigilant
Avoid working for long time without taking rests. Also, try not to do repetitive, unchanging or monotonous
work over long periods, as this may easily cause accidents or hazards. If you are over familiar with the
work environment, you tend to overlook potential hazards in the environment.
Avoiding Moving Equipment/Crush Points
Keep clear of mechanical linkage devices, connection cables, and moving hoses, as you may be caught,
squeezed, or wrapped therein, or dragged by their movements. Forces generated by the system can pinch,
cut or crack any object by which the system passes, causing serious injuries. So, avoid all potential crush
points. Most test systems can produce sudden, strong movements. Do not think that your reaction is fast
enough to keep you from any dangers in the case of system failures.

Safety
MTS Exceed®22 Series 17
Do Not Use RF Transmitter
Ensure that workstation PCs, remote terminals, and electronic consoles are far away from the radio
frequency (RF) transmitter. Strong RF electromagnetic fields can make sensitive circuits of the system
unstable.
