The system and related accessories should be installed in a stable, safe, and proper
laboratory for mechanical and tribological testing where the following conditions are met:
laboratory for mechanical and tribological testing where the following conditions are met:
- Ambient temperature 20-25 °C
- Humidity 30-45%
Sufficient space for the Operator, in accordance with local laws and safety norms. As shown in Figure 1, the MFT-5000 should be placed in a minimum working space of 218 x 234 cm.
The level of vibrations must be maintained at a minimum. Acceptable vibration level depends on the testing modules installed (as a function of maximum load, geometry of testing, and accuracy of testing required). The load cells from Rtec-Instruments can work from 1 mN to 10,000 N, the vibration level can therefore be very different. Please ask Rtec-Instruments for recommendations in case of doubt.
Instruments can work with 110V/220 V or 480V/380 V, depending on the model. Power requirements will be supplied separately by Rtec-Instruments depending on the instrument delivered.
There needs to be 2 x 100-240 VAC and 2 or 3 x 208-230 VAC (with or without MTM) outlets available in the facility.
⚠️
Warning: Prior to connecting to the supply, please check that the voltage and phase indicated on the instrument correspond to your facility conditions.
