For SmartBench v1.2

 

The mains power socket is located on the underside of the Lower X Beam as shown below.

A: Mains socket

The mains socket connects to the power cable.

Plug the power cable into the socket like this:

 

 

 

 

Check that the cable is fully and securely inserted to ensure smooth operation.

 

 

 

 

If the cable is loose or not fully inserted, SmartBench might halt during operation. 

 

 

 

The mains power cable needs to be strain relieved. 

Strain relief clips are located on the Lower X Beam as shown below:

 

Strain relief prevents electrical cables from being pulled loose while the machine is in operation. 

This protects personnel and equipment from harmful exposure to electrical current.

 

 

 

D: Power cable fitted to strain relief clip.

 

 

 

 

Make sure the cable has enough reach to freely move along the bench, and that it will not catch on any obstacles:

 

 

A cable that is not free to move will be under tension, which could cause the plug to be pulled from the mains socket while SmartBench is in operation.
