Connect Optional Accessories
Instron electromechanical systems provide access for adding optional accessories that may
be necessary for your testing requirements. An options panel is located on the machine that
enables you to use the following accessories:
• Lamp - 12 Vac 2A rated outlet for optional light accessory.
• Pip jack - Connects a remote recorder pen pipping device, such as an event marker or an
incremental extensometer, to the system.
• Interlock capability (optional) - The interlock capability is provided with certain custom
protective shields. The interlock prevents the system from working when the door is
open. The standard protective shield does not include this functionality.
• Grip control - 9 pin D connector for the optional pneumatic grip control function. This
function enables you to apply a specified pre-tension to the specimen when using cord
and yarn grips.
The following graphic displays all options on the Options panel. If any of these options are
not purchased with the system, then these connectors are not enabled and have black
coverings.
