The purpose of this manual is to provide you with information that will assist you in creating the conditions for a trouble free installation of your Instron® 3119-600 series chamber. The chamber models covered and their options are discussed in the different sections of this manual.
Supplement M55-17038-MU “Using Instron Furnaces and Environmental Chambers”. If you do not have a copy of this supplement, contact your local Instron representative. Operating instructions for the chamber are supplied with the chamber and contain...
Use this chapter where the installation and commissioning of the chamber is carried out by an Instron engineer. This chapter defines your responsibilities and the responsibilities of Instron for this type of installation. Instron recommends that you do not undertake your own installation.
Customer Installation Task Responsibility Mounting standalone chamber. Customer Mounting chamber to a new Instron test system, where Instron provide the Instron brackets. Making all electrical connections from mains to chamber. Instron Making cryogenic supply connections to chamber, where Instron provide Instron Dewar flask/gas bottles/hose *.
Crush Hazard - Use good practice when lifting by crane, hoist or fork-lift truck. Keep loads as low to the ground as possible. Any crane, hoist or fork-lift truck used to transport the equipment must have an adequate load capacity. Product Support: www.instron.com...
To protect the underside of the chamber, it is supplied mounted on four screws. Leave these screws in place. The Instron engineer will remove the screws at the point when the chamber is mounted on its load frame brackets or roller frame wheels.
