Introduction Site Preparation Introduction The MTS Criterion Systems are engineered to deliver the highly reliable, accurate, and repeatable monotonic testing capabilities required for achieving robust control of high-volume production quality, performing high-force industrial testing, and establishing scalable, industry-compliant testing procedures. To get the maximum intended use of the system, it is recommended that careful consideration be given to planning its installation.
Responsibilities Responsibilities This section details the responsibilities of both the customer and MTS to ensure that the proposed testing area is suitable for the installation and operation of the testing system. Customer's Responsibilities It is the customers’ responsibility to ensure that all required support services are available, and that all necessary checks are made prior to installing the testing system. These services and checks are described below.
Responsibilities MTS' Responsibilities MTS’ standard contract requires MTS to provide the necessary services to ensure that your test system operates accurately. These services are described below. Additional services and equipment may be negotiated with MTS, but these additional services must be mutually agreed upon and specifically described in your purchase order.
Facility Preparation Facility Preparation This section describes the physical, electrical, and mechanical requirements that must be considered before installing the MTS Criterion System. Read the following subsections thoroughly to identify installation considerations that apply to your facility.
Facility Preparation ≥1.5 m If a safety enclosure is used, the outer edges of the load frame in the following drawing should be the outer edges of the safety enclosure. ≥5 ft Note ≥3.3 ft ≥1 m Load Frame 4.3 ft 1.3 m Integrated Operations Platform ≥5 ft ≥1.5 m 10 ft 3m Work Area Foundation Requirements Foundations for load frame systems will generally be reinforced concrete cast in the ground (See “Appendix” on page 35 for details).
Facility Preparation Electrical Power Distribution Note Electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and conform to local codes and regulations. Local electrical codes supersede any information found here. The input line voltage to the MTS Criterion System must be rated for the loads Voltage and Current specified in the Electrical Power Requirements Section (page 22). Size the power system with adequate reserve for future equipment additions and installation expansion.
Facility Preparation Fixture and Specimen Handling Considerations Movement of specimens in and out of the test system must be considered early in the planning of the site layout. With smaller specimens, the use of a rolling work cart with lift-off storage drawers is recommended to facilitate the handling of specimens and to minimize the chance of damage to the specimens prior to and after the test.
Facility Preparation Relative Humidity The recommended relative humidity for the test room is within the range of 5% to 85% (non-condensing). The risk of static discharge, which easily damages logic components and causes loss of data in memory devices, is increased by low humidity. Excessive humidity can result in electrical leakage currents or component failure. Leveling System Components The load frame is mounted to the foundation, so no leveling component is needed.

Additional Considerations Additional Considerations Contents Integrated Operations Platform Considerations Load Frame Considerations 20 When You Get Your System 21 20 Integrated Operations Platform Considerations Handling requirements The Integrated Operations Platform is shipped with a protective covering to prevent damage to the controls and cable connectors and to prevent dust infiltration.
Additional Considerations When You Get Your System Operation of your system can involve exposure to hazardous situations: high voltages are present at the Integrated Operations Platform and the Load Frame. The Integrated Operations Platform controls the movement of the actuator which uses high pressure hydraulic fluid. Because of these potential hazards, your system is provided with documentation that includes information on safety practices. Read this information before attempting to operate your system.

Lifting and Moving Instructions The following table lists the approximate weight of each load frame model, the Integrated Operations Platform, and optional parts with and without the crate. The weight specification is for lifting and moving purposes. The weight of accessories and special fixtures must be added. The actual shipping weight must be determined by a scale.
Handling the Load Fame Handling the Load Fame Unloading The customer will be responsible for all the unloading process if no Unloading Service is purchased. In case of special agreement, an MTS field service engineer can monitor the unloading, storage, and transportation process. 1. Unload the load frame with reference to the lifting position marker and the gravity center marker . 2. Choose suitable slings according to the weight table. 3.
Handling the Load Fame Moving the Load Unit To move the load unit to its final location: 1. Unpack the load frame. Remove the cover boards. If you ordered the safety enclosure, remove the mounting bolts and take the enclosure out. Put the safety enclosure in a suitable place; an MTS field service engineer will install it for you. 2. Remove the mounting bolts for the frame. Attach the customer-supplied hoist rings (M30 for C64.305/C64.305EL, M36 for C64.605/C64.605EL and C64.106/C64.
Handling the Load Fame 3. Put the base of the load frame on a mat and remove the hoist rings and slings on the frame base. Slowly raise the load frame to its upright position. As the unit rises, keep moving the crane to keep the sling as straight as possible. Note When you raise the load frame erect, no bystanders should be at the site. 4.
Handling the Load Fame 4. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load frame” on page 29. Moving the Load Frame with an Overhead Crane If an overhead crane is used, perform the following: 1. Choose suitable slings according to the load frame weight. 2. Attach the slings to the customer-supplied hoist rings on the uppe crosshead. 3. Raise the hook slowly to lift the load frame only high enough to move. 4. Slowly and steadily move the load frame to the foundation.
Handling the Load Fame 5. Secure the load frame to the foundation; see “Securing the Load frame” on page 29. Do not exceed 30o Supporting Wood Securing the Load frame To secure the load frame to the foundation: 1. Put the anchor bolts into the bolt holes; the top of the bolts should be lower than the top of the foundation. 2. Align the anchor bolt holes on the load frame base with that of the foundation, and slowly put down the load frame. 3.

Handling the Integrated Operations Platform Handling the Integrated Operations Platform Unloading Choose suitable slings according to the Integrated Operations Platform and crate weight. Wrap the sling through the crate pallet and raise it. Moving the Integrated Operations Platform To move the Integrated Operations Platform to its final location: 1. Unpack the Integrated Operations Platform. 2. Choose suitable chains according to the Integrated Operations Platform’s weight.
Handling the Steps 3. Attach the chains to the customer-supplied hoist rings (M16) on the Integrated Operations Platform and hang the other end on the hook. Do not exceed 30o Hoist Ring of M16 4. Raise the hook slowly and move the platform to its final location. 5. Put the platform down and take off the chains. Adjust the levelness with the feet under the platform. 6. Contact MTS Systems Corporation to arrange for installation services.
