Chapter 1: Introduction
The Series 1520/1580/1585 enclosure prevents parts larger than 6mm from being ejected
during a dynamometer test when used within the specifications. It can also help to prevent
operators from getting too close to the spinning propellers.
The enclosure features a door which allows users to quickly change the motor or propeller
on the thrust stand. The stainless steel mesh has been tested and proved safe for plastic and
carbon fibre propellers no larger than 16 inches respecting the speed limits specified in this
document.

We still need to use safety goggles, as the airflow can project very small parts at high speed.
The user manual of the enclosure is regularly updated. To ensure you have accurate
information, please download the latest PDF copy from our website:

IMPORTANT!
We highly recommend that all operators who will be working with the assembly of the
enclosure carefully read this user manual in its entirety.
Please note that not following the instructions in this user manual may result in structural
failure of the enclosure and the test tool in it. Spinning motors and propellers may cause
serious injuries or death of the operator.
In this manual, any text following a # represents the RCbenchmark SKU number for this item.

Chapter 2: General Safety Rules
Always put safety first! It is your responsibility!
It is always important to stay alert to work with a thrust stand. The enclosure protects the
operators under most circumstances, however, it is not a guarantee of security and any
abuse or misuse of the enclosure may result in damage to the equipment or injury to the
users.
To ensure safety, please follow these instructions:
1. Wear safety goggles during a test.
2. Before construction, make sure you have all the components and tools needed.
3. Inspect all fasteners before every experiment and as often as possible.
4. Do not place the enclosure near the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
5. Always keep your work area clean, do not work on surfaces that are dirty with oil.
Small metal chips may be blown up and hit the propeller by accident. Clean your
testing room before every test.
6. Respect the Murphy’s law. If you think something might go wrong, it will.
7. Make sure you are dressed for safety. The mesh may be sharp, wear gloves during
assembly. Do not wear jewelry or long clothing when operating the tool.
8. Do not let children around the Series 1520/1580/1585.
9. Do not use or assemble the tool alone.
10. Do not substitute parts or modify the instrument.
11. Always disconnect the power source before opening the door on the enclosure.
12. Do not store anything near or above the enclosure, especially when performing a test.
13. Always keep your enclosure clear of debris.
14. The enclosure should be suitably rated for containing a propeller failure. It should
also protect in case the Series 1520/1580/1585 comes apart (loose screw or
mechanical failure).
15. Make sure nobody is in the spinning area of the thrust stand

Chapter 3: Installation of the Enclosure
In this chapter, we will present you a full guide to install the enclosure for the Series
1520/1580/1585. Every section represents the suggested procedure to assemble and to install
the enclosure, please follow the sequence accordingly.
The T-nuts are frequently used in the assembly of the enclosure. Please make sure that you
insert the correct amount and correct model of T-nut into the slots of the beams before
closing the frame with the metal mesh. If not respecting the correct sequence, you may need
to dismount the mesh and redo certain steps of the assembly.

Please follow these instructions to assemble the main frame:
❏Open the three-way connector bag (#KXPA) and take out eight three-way connectors
(#UKWW) and twenty-four M6 flat head screws (#YQVV).
❏Insert one three-way connector (#UKWW) by aligning the notch with the T-slotted
beam, and then fasten loosely the connector into the beam with one M6 screw
(#YQVV). Do not fully tighten the screws as you may need room to move the parts
around.
❏Repeat the same step with the other two directions by connecting one three-way
connector with three 535 mm beams, per Fig 3.1.
Fig 3.1: Assemble the three-way connector and the beams
❏Repeat the previous steps to construct the base with four vertical beams.
❏Insert the rest of the three-way connectors by finishing the top part of the enclosure.
Do not fully tighten the screws unless instructed.

Fig 3.2: Assemble the rest four connectors on top of the frame
❏Open the large corner bracket bag (#QAKQ) and take out four L corner brackets
(#FFVQ), eight M5 T-nuts (#ZQSS), eight M5 socket head screws (#UZJK) and eight M5
washers (#APEH).
❏Take out two T-slotted beams (#TSXN). Insert one M5 T-nut (#ZQSS) into the slot (any
side), and then align and insert the large corner bracket (#FFVQ) onto the rail (#TSXN).
❏Make sure that the end-surfaces of the L bracket and the beam align, then fasten the
bracket with M5 screws (#UZJK) and washers (#APEH), per Fig 3.3.

❏Repeat the previous steps to assemble the second L bracket on the other end the
same beam, per Fig 3.4. And then repeat all steps to build the second beam with two
brackets.
Fig 3.4: Assembly of the support rails of the thrust stand
❏Take out the M5 T-nuts (#ZQSS) from the large L corner bracket bag (#QAKQ), and then
insert two nuts into any two parallel beams on the base facing inside.
❏Place two assembled support rails in the base and align the center of the chosen
beams. And then align the assembled L corner brackets with the T-nuts on the base
beams, as shown in Fig 3.5. Once ready, fasten the structure with the supplied M5
screws (#UZJK) and M5 washers (#APEH).
