Preface

Before You Begin

Safety first!

Before you use your MTS product or system, read and understand the safety information provided with your system. Improper installation, operation, or maintenance can result in hazardous conditions that can cause severe personal injury or death, or damage to your equipment and specimen. Again, read and understand the safety information provided with your system before you continue. It is very important that you remain aware of hazards that apply to your system.

Other MTS manuals

In addition to this manual, you may receive additional manuals in paper or electronic form.

You may also receive an MTS System Documentation CD. It contains an electronic copy of the manuals that pertain to your test system.

Controller and application software manuals are typically included on the software CD distribution disc(s).

Documentation Conventions

The following paragraphs describe some of the conventions that are used in your MTS manuals.

Hazard conventions

Hazard notices may be embedded in this manual. These notices contain safety information that is specific to the activity to be performed. Hazard notices immediately precede the step or procedure that may lead to an associated hazard. Read all hazard notices carefully and follow all directions and recommendations. Three different levels of hazard notices may appear in your manuals. Following are examples of all three levels. (for general safety information, see the safety information provided with your system.)

Danger:

Danger notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a high level of risk which, if ignored, will result in death, severe personal injury, or substantial property damage.

Preface

Warning:

Warningnoticesindicatethepresenceofahazardwithamediumlevelofriskwhich,ifignored, can result in death, severe personal injury, or substantial property damage.

Caution:

Caution notices indicate the presence of a hazard with a low level of risk which, if ignored, could cause moderate or minor personal injury or equipment damage, or could endanger test integrity.

Other special text conventions

Important:

Important notices provide information about your system that is essential to its proper function. While not safety-related, if the important information is ignored, test results may not be reliable, or your system may not operate properly.

Note:

Notes provide additional information about operating your system or highlight easily overlooked information.

Recommended:

Recommended notes provide a suggested way to accomplish a task based on what MTS has found to be most effective.

Tip:

Tips provide helpful information or a hint about how to most efficiently accomplish a task.

Access:

Access provides the route you should follow to a referenced item in the software.

Examples show specific scenarios relating to your product and appear with a shaded background.

Special terms

The first occurrence of special terms is shown in italics.

Illustrations

Illustrations appear in this manual to clarify text. They are examples only and do not necessarily represent your actual system configuration, test application, or software.

Introduction

About the Hydraulic Service Manifold (HSM)

The hydraulic service manifold (HSM), also called the actuator manifold, is a hydraulic component that controls hydraulic pressure to one work station. The HSM controls are independent of the hydraulic power unit’s controls. The basic function of the HSM is to provide line pressure regulation.

An HSM contains ports to provide pilot valve filtration, the use of accumulators, and the use of hydraulic solenoid valves to control the hydraulic pressure to the work station.

The HSM is available with a control voltage of 24 V DC or 115 V AC.

What You Need to Know

This manual assumes that you know how to use your system controller. See the appropriate manual for information about performing any controller-related step in this manual’s procedures. You are expected to know how to:

•Turn the system hydraulic pressure on and off.

•Turn the station hydraulic pressure on and off.

Related Products

Each HSM includes the Series 111 Accumulators; see the Series 111 Accumulators Product Information manual (MTS part number 011-553-304) for any accumulator maintenance procedures.
