MTS Acumen Electrodynamic Test System Load Frame User Guide - Manual (Page 34)

Frame Location and Ventilation
To ensure proper ventilation, locate the load frame approximately 300 mm (12 inches) from adjacent walls
and equipment. Allow approximately 1 m (3 feet) behind the equipment for service access. Do not block the
vent holes on the sides or back of the frame.
For comfortable working conditions and proper equipment operation, heat dissipation of the equipment must
be considered in providing adequate heating or air conditioning in the laboratory area. Heat dissipation can
be approximated by summing the heat losses going into a room (1 kVA is equivalent to 860 kcal/hr [3,400
Btu/hr]) and the gains from other sources such as furnaces and personnel.
Environmental Requirements
All MTS Acumen load frames are intended for indoor use only. This indoor environment must conform to the
following environmental specifications.
