The purpose of this manual is to provide you with information that will assist you in
creating the conditions for a trouble free installation of your Instron® 3119-600 series
chamber. The chamber models covered and their options are discussed in the different
sections of this manual.
Please study the manual and refer any queries to your local Instron representative.
Overview of Installation
Responsibilities
This manual is intended to be used where the installation and commissioning of the
chamber is carried out by an Instron engineer. Chapter 2 defines your responsibilities
and the responsibilities of Instron for this type of installation. Instron recommends that
you do not undertake your own installation, however, if you do, Chapter 2 provides the
basis for a checklist of activities needed to complete your installation process.
System Footprint
Depending on your test system you may have a roller mount for your chamber and/or a
Dewar flask. Chapter 3 provides outline drawings for you to allow sufficient floor space
to accommodate your system.

Chapter: Introduction
6M55-16546-EN
Additional Chamber Documentation
Operating instructions for the chamber are supplied with the chamber and contain
safety information, a description of the controls, detailed procedures for operation,
preventative maintenance requirements and tips on how to get the best from your
chamber.
Refer to other documentation supplied with your testing system for load frame, pullrod,
grips and software operating instructions.
For further important Health and Safety information specifically regarding handling,
installation, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of Instron furnaces and
environmental chambers, refer to the Supplement M55-17038-MU “Using Instron

Important Handling Information
Warnings
Crush Hazard - Ensure that cranes, hoists or fork-lift trucks used to move the
equipment have adequate load capacity (1.5 x gross weight).
See “Physical Data” on page 20.
Crush Hazard - Ensure that slings are serviceable and are of the correct length and
proof loading.
Crush Hazard - Employ suitably trained persons to operate lifting equipment.
Crush Hazard - Use good practice when lifting by crane, hoist or fork-lift truck.
Keep loads as low to the ground as possible. Any crane, hoist or fork-lift truck used to
transport the equipment must have an adequate load capacity.

Chapter: Unpacking and Transporting
10 M55-16546-EN
Unpacking
You are advised to transport the packed chamber as close to the final operating position
as possible before unpacking.
The chamber is packed in a heavy duty corrugated cardboard carton. Depending on your
location and the method of transport, the carton may be inside a plywood packing case
with other parts of your delivery. Unpack the chamber carefully. Do not use sharp
instruments to open the corrugated carton.
To protect the underside of the chamber, it is supplied mounted on four screws. Leave
these screws in place. The Instron engineer will remove the screws at the point when the
chamber is mounted on its load frame brackets or roller frame wheels.
The chamber is also supplied with a protective foam cover (fitted to the side of the
chamber) to protect the controller during installation. Leave this foam in place until
installation is complete.

Transporting the Chamber
Product Support: www.instron.com
Transporting the Chamber
Transport the chamber using a crane, hoist or forklift truck according to good working
practice. If lifting the chamber from above, Figure 1 (and Table 1) illustrates the lifting
points.

Guidelines for Final Positioning of the Chamber
Test System
This section assumes that the chamber is part of a new Instron test system. The
chamber may have a fixed mount or a roller mount assembly. The chamber may also be
fitted with a cooling pack option. You need to provide sufficient clearance around your
system to accommodate your configuration. Ensure the working area is clean, tidy and
hazard free. Leave a space on the right hand side of the test machine to access the
chamber controls.
See “Safety” on page 7when considering environmental conditions in the vicinity of
the testing equipment. Attention should be given to siting the equipment in locations
where air-borne dust and other contaminants can be kept to a minimum.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate different configurations based on an
electromechanical load frame. The dimensions (see Table 2) are taken from the load
string centre line and are therefore applicable to any Instron load frame.

Crush Hazard - Moving components can cause injury.
After the chamber, push/pullrods and grips/fixtures etc. have been installed, it is
important to prevent any accidental crushing by the moving components.
When setting up, use the system features to:
•Prevent the grips coming together.
•Prevent the crosshead coming into contact with the chamber.
•Prevent the moving grip driving into the chamber.
•Provide a minimum clearance of 30 mm to prevent fingers from becoming trapped
between moving components.

Information for Customer Installation Only
Instron recommend that customers do not undertake chamber installation and accept
no responsibility for such an installation. In the event that you decide to undertake your
own installation, the following watch points are offered without prejudice:
•Pay attention to the handling information provided (see page 9).
•Ensure that you provide an electrical power supply socket that meets the
requirements of the chamber (see page 28) and local regulations.
•Ensure that the working environment is clean, tidy and free from trip hazards.
•Leave a space on the right hand side of the test machine to access the chamber
controller.
•Ensure that the chamber is level.
•Ensure that the power cable is routed to avoid damage during chamber and test
system use. Always clip or tie cables to avoid a trip hazard.
•Use the data in this manual to design mounting brackets to suit your test system.
See Table 1 and “Physical Data” on page 20. Note that the underside and top of
the chamber have identical fixing points. Ensure that your design does not cause a
conflict between the chamber dimensions and your test system operation.
•Read and understand the operating instructions of the chamber and your test
system.
•Route cables and hoses from other accessories to avoid contact with parts of the
chamber which may become hot.
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 manual before attempting to install the chamber.
