Initial installation
Initial installation is performed by an Instron service engineer and includes the
following:
•
adaptation of the connections to the controller in the testing machine; if you want to
use the extensometer on more than one testing machine, these modifications must
be performed on each machine. For example:
•
5900 systems - adapt the Strain 1 connector on the 5900 controller to connect
to the encoder in the testing machine.
•
8800/ElectroPuls systems - install one (axial) or two (axial and transverse)
encoder SCMs to the connectors on the controller.
•
installation of the AVE2 or SVE2 onto the vertical post assembly,
•
installation of the post assembly and mounting bracket onto the testing machine
•
installation of the backscreen, if you are using the AverEdge32™ configuration on an
AVE2 for transverse measurement
•
verification of the extensometer
If you are using theAverEdge32™ configuration on multiple frame types, you may require
an additional custom cable. Contact Instron
®
for more information. For example, 3400,
6800 and 5900 frames use the standard cable; 3300 and 5500 frames require the
custom cable.
