MTS Acumen Electrodynamic - Manual (Page 12)

Introduction
MTS Acumen Electrodynamic Material Test Systems are designed to operate in a laboratory or light industry
environment. These systems are not intended for use in industrial, assembly-line, or other environments in
which they could be subject to contamination from debris. To get the maximum intended use of the system,
it is recommended that careful consideration be given to planning its installation. This includes:
• The types of testing that will be performed.
• The building facilities' requirements for power, cooling water, air conditioning, ceiling height, floor loading,
and so on.
• Contract services, such as riggers and moving equipment, to transport the system components within the
facility.
• Support personnel who might be required during installation of the system.
• Typical installation requires access to the internet via the MTS Acumen system PC. If internet access is
not available, please inform MTS prior to the installation technician visit.
In addition to the test system requirements, each test application also has its own requirements. Therefore,
it is recommended that overall planning be considered as early as possible. Preparation for and placement
of the major system components are the customer's responsibility. This guide will help answer most of
your questions about the physical characteristics and requirements of your system.
