  • Page 47: Power Supply Compatibility

    There are dangerous voltages and rotating machinery inside the machine that may cause bodily injury or damage to equipment. The voltage settings are inside the machine and can only be changed by a qualified Instron Service Engineer. Contact Instron Professional Services for assistance if you need to change the voltage setting.
  • Page 48 APPENDIX A Chapter: Installation • To accommodate high in-rush currents, connect a time delay circuit breaker between the facility power source and the load frame (refer to Table 2-3 on page 2-8). The connector on the power cable must be compatible with the power source. If the power cable supplied with your system does not fit your power source outlet, add a male plug to the cable that is compatible with the voltage.
