Checklist for Site Preparation
The following checklist provides a quick summary of items that should be considered when
planning and preparing the site location of your testing system. Additional information
regarding each item below is provided within this manual. If you need more specific
information, contact Instron’s Professional Services department or your local Instron office
for assistance (refer to “Product Support” on page 1-8).
Site Location
Floor and table is able to support the weight of the frame, and its computer components.
Environment complies with the specifications for your specific model:
• Operating temperature
• Storage temperature
• Humidity
• Atmosphere
The required power supply is available and is compatible with the electrical
requirements for your specific model.
Electrical outlets are within the maximum distance requirement to the load frame’s
location.
Phone lines are located within the general testing area so that users can call Instron’s
service department directly from the testing area. It is also suggested that network drops,
or digital phone lines, be within the general testing area.
Ceiling clearance is adequate for the load frame, including the additional space
necessary to lift and move the frame by either a forklift or crane.
Location provides sufficient accessibility for routine maintenance (915 mm or 36 in).
Employees are adequately trained to operate the load frame and its computer system.
Transporting
You have the correct number of packing boxes as stated on the packing list.
Insurance coverage is secured or verified.
Not all computers are compatible with Instron testing systems. If you intend to purchase a
computer from an outside vendor, contact Instron Service to verify its compatibility.
Additional charges may result from service that is required to evaluate or reconfigure non-
approved computers.
