3.2 Installation Site Precautions
1. Installation Site Environment
1) Provide a table with ample load capacity to hold the total weight of the AGS-X unit, jigs,
and other items.
2) Level the AGS-X unit after placing it in position. If using a specialized Shimadzu table,
leveling screws are provided on the ends of the legs.
3) Avoid using the system in locations with significant temperature variations.
Keep the temperature within the +5C to +40C range and relatively constant during
tests.
4) Avoid using the system in locations with high humidity.
Keep humidity within the 20% to 80% range, with no condensation.
5) Avoid using the system in dusty locations.
6) Avoid locations near sources of vibration.
The allowable maximum is 10 Hz frequency and 0.5 m amplitude.
7) Avoid locations near equipment that generate electromagnetic induction.
Avoid locations near high frequency equipment, which can affect highly sensitive load
cells, amplifiers, and other items included with the AGS-X unit.
8) Avoid locations with corrosive gases, steam, direct sunlight, or other conditions
detrimental to functionality.
2. Power Supply Requirements
(1) Power Supply Voltage Single phase, 100/120/220/240 V AC switchable
(2) Power Supply Frequency 50/60 Hz
(3) Power Supply Capacity 1.2 kVA
(4) Power Consumption 300 W
(5) Short Circuit Current Rating 1.5 kA
(6) Ground Type-D or better ground. Please keep equipotential ground.
(Grounding resistance of max. 100 ohm)
When connecting the main unit, optional device, and PC to separate power supplies, make
sure that there is no potential difference between all the protective ground terminals. (AC / DC
less than 10V)
