Series 651 Environmental Chamber 20
Installing the Environmental Chamber
To install the environmental chamber onto an MTS load unit:
1. If you have an environmental chamber with U-plugs, you can install the
grips and specimen before installing the chamber. See your grip manual.
2. Set the environmental chamber onto the mobile cart.
3. Arrange the cables and hoses so that they do not interfere with cart
movement.
When moving the chamber and cart assembly it is possible to damage
cables or hoses.
Damage to the cables or hoses can cause unpredictable system operation
which can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Do not allow the casters to run over cables or hoses when positioning the cart.
Note The protruding hardware on some environmental chambers and the
limited clearance between the columns of some load units require the
chamber door to be removed to pass the chamber between the load unit
columns. Chamber doors have “lift-off” hinges.
4. If present, remove the U-plug assemblies from the chamber.
5. Move the mobile cart into position so that the actuator’s piston rod is
centered with respect to the access ports of the chamber.
