About 3119-600 Series Chambers
The Instron 3119-600 Series environmental chamber provides a means of carrying out
materials tests in an accurately controlled air temperature environment.
The chamber (see Figure 1) is designed to fit between the columns of a physical testing
machine. Pullrod access is provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the chamber and
an integrated control panel provides the user interface for all of the chamber functions.
The chamber is supplied with removable wedges to allow easy removal of the chamber
from the test area without dismantling the load string.
Different height chambers are available; these are selected to suit the required
application. All chambers operate from ambient temperature to the top of their
temperature range. An optional cooling module can be supplied if testing at below
ambient temperatures is required.
The chamber window is heated to keep it frost free at below ambient temperatures. The
limit of this feature is -30°C. Below this limit window clarity may degrade, however,
depending on ambient temperature, humidity and other influencing factors, the central
third of the window is expected to remain frost free.
The chamber can be mounted onto the load frame in a fixed position or on a roller
mounting assembly, which enables the chamber to be moved clear of the working area.
Refer to the Pre-Installation manual for mounting options.

General Safety Precautions
Warning
Hazard - Chambers have inherent critical risks, you are strongly advised to carry out
your own safety risk assessment taking into account all the information provided in
this chapter.
Chambers involve inherent hazards from high temperature and sub-zero temperature
surfaces and components. It is important to be aware of all parts which are potentially
hazardous, particularly the insides of chambers and items which are removed from
them.
Wherever it is considered that safety is compromised, press the fan button OFF on the
touch panel controller or press the mains circuit breaker OFF (O) on the rear panel.

Chapter: Safety
12 M55-16547-EN
Carefully read the operating instructions and observe all Warnings and Cautions. The
term Warning is used where a hazard may lead to injury or death. The term Caution is
used where a hazard may lead to damage to the equipment or to loss of data.
Ensure that the system set-up and the test being performed constitute no hazard to
operators or others (see general guidelines on page 27).
The following pages detail various general warnings that must be heeded at all times.
There are more specific Warnings and Cautions in the text whenever a potential hazard
exists.
The best safety precautions are a thorough understanding of the equipment by reading
the instruction manuals and always using good judgement.
It is our strong recommendation that you carry out your own product safety risk
assessment and use this to determine suitable personal protective equipment.
Warning Signs Used
When a symbol is enclosed in a triangle, it becomes a warning sign. A symbol on its own
may be a warning, e.g. the “dangerous voltage” symbol, or may indicate the use of a
control e.g. “Transfer of heat, general” symbol means that the control switches heating
on and off. Chamber controls are shown in the “Function of Controls and Indicators”
chapter.

Electrical
Warnings
Electrical Hazard – Ensure that the electrical socket used by the chamber power
cable is connected to a suitably grounded point. Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before removing any panel/cover or changing any fuse.
Repairs should only be carried out by an Instron Service Engineer, contact your local
Instron representative if you suspect an electrical fault. Disconnect equipment from the
electrical power supply before removing any electrical safety covers or replacing fuses.
Do not reconnect the power source while the covers are removed. Refit the covers as
soon as possible.
Electrical Disconnection Hazard – After disconnection from the power supply, leave
adequate time for any residual charge to dissipate before touching the conductors
of the power cable attached to the chamber.
When the chamber is disconnected from the mains power supply there may be a
residual charge due to capacitance which gives a risk of electrical shock if the mains
leads are touched. Until this charge has had sufficient time to dissipate, do not touch
the power lead conductors even when the unit is disconnected from the power supply.
Usually the charge dissipates in less than five minutes but the time is strongly
dependent on atmospheric conditions. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician before
disconnecting the unit mains supply.

Chapter: Safety

Thermal Contact
Warning
Warning
Take particular care with items that are removed from chambers whilst still hot or cold.
Provide receptacles for such items as they can maintain their temperature for long
periods. When removing items from the chamber use the door as a shield from hot air or
cold cryogenic gases. Cold vapours can cause burns similar to heat burns and provoke
respiratory problems. Depending on the chamber mounting and any attached
accessories, the door may open or close under its own weight (when unlatched).
Specimens
Warning
Hazard - The operator MUST consult their supplier’s Material Safety Data Sheet on the
particular cryogenic gas being used before using this equipment at sub-ambient
temperatures. Instron advise that you receive training in the handling of cryogenic
gases from your supplier.
High/Low Temperature Hazard - Wear adequate personal protective equipment
when using equipment at extremes of temperature. This hazard applies to the
physical parts of the chamber, items in or removed from the chamber and the hot
air/cold cryogenic gases from inside the chamber.
Temperatures above 60°C and below 0°C can cause burns and serious injury. The
chamber has been designed to eliminate possible hazards, but it is inevitable that the
points where specimens or processed items leave the chamber can be at temperatures
outside these limits.
Hazard - Certain materials may become flammable, explosive or toxic when
exposed to extreme temperatures.
The 600 series environmental chambers are not intended for use with unstable
materials that may be flammable, explosive or toxic under extreme conditions. Any
hazard resulting from the failure of a test specimen, assembly, or structure is entirely
the responsibility of the owner and the user of the equipment.

Cryogenic Gases: Asphyxiation and Toxicity
Product Support: www.instron.com
Cryogenic Gases: Asphyxiation and Toxicity
Warning
Warning
When cryogenic gases are used with the chamber reduce all spaces around the pullrods
as much as possible, or seal them. Routing the exhaust hose to a well ventilated area
will reduce, but not eliminate, leakage of cryogenic gas around the chamber. Ensure
that the area around the system is suitably ventilated to avoid asphyxiation / toxicity
hazards.
Glass Fibre Insulation
Warning
Asphyxiation Hazard - Cryogenic gases can reduce the amount of oxygen in the
working environment to dangerous levels.
Refer to your supplier’s Material Safety Data Sheet for limits and monitoring information.
Toxicity Hazard - Carbon dioxide is toxic.
In certain concentrations carbon dioxide can be dangerous. Refer to your supplier’s
Material Safety Data Sheet for limits and monitoring information.
Extraction systems may need to meet legislative requirements. Refer to pertinent
government publications for details.
Hazard - Do not disassemble the chamber. Glass fibre insulation can cause skin, eye
or upper respiratory tract irritation in some individuals. Refer to the “Material Safety
Data Sheets” on page 17.
Repairs should only be carried out by an Instron Service Engineer. The glass fibre
insulation used in the chamber is retained within its panels and does not represent a
hazard in normal use. Contact your local Instron representative if any glass fibre
insulation is exposed.

Physical Testing Machine
Warning
High Pressure Gas Hazard - Shutting off a gas cylinder may leave high pressure gas
in pipe work. Always de-pressurise pipe work before disconnection.
Instron advise that you receive training in the handling of high pressure gases from your
gas supplier. Never disconnect high pressure pipe work until you are sure that it is safe
to do so.
Rotating Machinery Hazard - Disconnect power supply before removing the covers.
Repairs should only be carried out by an Instron Service Engineer; contact your local
Instron representative if you suspect a fault with the chamber. There are exposed
rotating parts of the fan in the rear electrical compartment of the chamber. In normal
operation access to the rear compartment is not required. Do not access the rear
electrical compartment without first disconnecting the chamber from the power supply.
Do not reconnect any power supply while the covers are removed.
Moving Parts Hazard - The moving parts of physical testing machines on which
chambers are fitted can give rise to severe moving part hazards.
When using environmental chambers on testing machines the operator must be aware
of all of the moving part hazards and use the environmental chamber taking all
necessary precautions. Consult the safety section of the physical-testing machine
operating instructions.
