If the equipment needs to be out of use for a period of time, what is a suitable translation for “out of use”? Thank you!
stop running
There are two explanations: 1. Shut Off: refers to turning off the power supply of a particular device, so that it stops operating. 2. Shut Down: refers to the situation where all devices in a certain area cease operating. I usually use the term Shut Down
The equipment must be taken out of use for a period of time.....
stop running
out of service!
not in working/use
It seems that what the poster is saying is that the equipment is taken offline, but production isn’t affected. Can it be understood that there is a backup device? When this device is taken offline, the backup one comes online; the device that has been taken offline is then cleaned and repaired to serve as a backup. If another device that is currently online needs maintenance, then this device can be put back online
stop to use :lol
Out of running
I also like to use “shut down”. Also, I’m not sure if “suspended” is okay?
Do you mean standby?
Both PCMA and echo have covered this; to summarize: Discontinuation depends on the context. To shut down a device, terms such as \"shut/turn off\" or \"take/be out of service\" can all be used, with active and passive approaches existing； Shutting down a production line: shut down; stopping operations for maintenance: turnaround, overhaul.

shutdown should be used more often; foreigners also use downtime to refer to the period of shutdown.
\"Rundown\" is the most appropriate term; see the operation manuals of foreign design firms
\"Rundown\" is not appropriate, as it refers to shutdown; for example, the high-level tank in an oil system is sometimes called a \"rundown tank\". If it is disabled, “out of running/service” is the more appropriate expression
To sum it up, there are various explanations above, but some words indeed don’t suit use in this sentence; for example, “shut down” or “shut off”: these terms refer to stopping a vehicle from moving, but not to disabling it. Standby: focuses on being a backup option, such as one operation, one standby. Out of service: No longer in operation. I won’t mention the others; personally, I think it’s best to stop using it.

Another option: be removed from use for a period of time. Or: be(cut) off-line. Equipment shutdown or stoppage are also acceptable; for some devices, one can use terms like turn off or power off
In this rundown tank, should the term “rundown” be understood as a tank that prevents rundown, that is, a buffer tank?
