The customer must not make any attempt to install the load frame without an Instron service representative present. Initial Operation Once the installation is complete, Instron performs an initial operation of the load frame and a calibration check to ensure that it is working properly. -
Page 22: Frame Location
Instron systems require “clean” and stable electrical power. Unless other arrangements are made with Instron, you are responsible for providing clean electrical power. An in-line power surge protector is recommended for all installations. 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. -
