The floor must be free of vibrations from other activities taking place in or near the
building.
For larger load frames, it is recommended that you consult your facility engineer,
foundation specialist, or a civil engineer to ensure that the load capacity of the floor can
support the weight of the load frame and its component parts. A load capacity higher
than the weight of the testing system may be necessary because large dynamic loads
may occur when a specimen breaks and this additional load may be absorbed into the
floor.
Power supply
Ensure that the required power supply is available and complies with all requirements
(
“34FM-100 Power Requirements and Cords” on page 31 ).
Caution
Power fluctuations and surges can cause performance problems ranging from
intermittent electrical problems to severe damage.
Instron
®
systems require “clean” and stable electrical power. Unless other
arrangements are made with Instron
®
, you are responsible for providing clean electrical
power. An in-line power surge protector is recommended for all installations.
If you purchased an environmental chamber with your system, it requires a dedicated
electrical power supply that is separate from the power supply for the rest of the system.
Telephone and network access
Ensure that a telephone line is located within the general testing area. This enables the
user to contact Instron
®
directly from the testing area so the user can perform the
instructions provided and resolve the situation while on the telephone with the service
representative. This facilitates resolving issues in a timely manner and reduces the
number of repeated phone calls on the same problem.
It is also suggested that network drops, or digital phone lines, be within the general
testing area. A network connection near the system facilitates distributing test data via
the network. Our goal is to provide remote diagnostics in order to resolve system issues.
Having a network drop or digital phone line available will enable an Instron
®
service
representative to connect to the testing system to diagnose and resolve problems more
efficiently.
