The noise output from equipment used for materials or structures testing is also depen-
dent upon the items under test. Instron recommends that users carry out their own noise
level measurements to ensure the continuous safety and comfort of personnel.
68SC-05 Power Requirements and Cords
Power requirements
For 230 Vac operation, the frame is normally set to 240 V.
The 230 Vac option on the voltage selector is designed for 220 Vac ±10%.
Electrical hazard - to ensure safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) the
facility’s receptacle must be a 3-wire grounded receptacle. The ground must be a
low impedance earth ground in accordance with national and/or local regulations.
You must use GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruption) protection on all power
sources if your testing system includes water or any other fluid.
If your system includes any fluids (e.g. water-cooled grips, BioPuls baths, food testing
fixtures), you must use GFCI protection on all power sources to protect the operator from
fluids that might leak into the load frame electronics.
Power cord selections
If you do not make a choice, Instron
®
chooses the customary power cord that matches
the shipping destination for the system.
