Site requirements
Product Support: www.instron.com
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.
Ceiling clearance
Ensure that there is adequate ceiling clearance so that the load frame can be easily
placed in its testing location. Take into consideration how you will be transporting the
frame (by forklift or crane, for instance) and ensure that the ceiling height can
accommodate your mode of transportation.
Environmental conditions
Ensure that the testing site meets the specifications detailed in “Environmental
specifications” on page 28.
Accessibility
The testing system must be accessible for routine maintenance without having to move
the load frame. If the frame is moved, it may need to be re-verified.
Site requirements for system accessories
Some accessories require additional site requirements. If you are not sure if the
accessories you purchased require any of the following site preparations, contact
Instron
®
Service or your local Instron
®
office for advice.
