Introduction The MTS Landmark System is designed to operate in a laboratory or light industry environment. To get the maximum intended use of the system, it is recommended that careful consideration be given to planning its installation.
Introduction Landmark Test System Site Prep Guide
Facility Preparation This section describes the physical, electrical, and mechanical requirements that must be considered before installing the Landmark System. Read the following subsections thoroughly to identify installation considerations that apply to your facility. Preparing to Receive the System Before you call MTS for installation, there are several customer responsibilities before and after receiving your test system.
Space Requirements Consideration must be given to planning the space requirements around the equipment for loading specimens and for the proper maintenance of the equipment. Also, during installation of the equipment, additional space (floor space and ceiling height) might be required to facilitate moving the various system components into place.
The dynamic response characteristics of the foundation should be limited to low levels so that the accuracy and performance of the MTS equipment mounted on the foundation will not be affected. An improper foundation mass can affect equipment performance. This is particularly true in strain-controlled, lowfrequency or strain-controlled monotonic testing. If you have any questions or concerns about the suitably of your foundation, contact MTS.
Grounding Requirements Each system has its own internal grounding system, which is common grounded through the green or green/yellow wire in the power cable and must also return to earth ground, through the conduit of the electrical distribution system. Note that the green or green/yellow wire must not be a current-carrying conductor or a neutral conductor. A ground strap is provided to tie the load unit assembly directly to the console cabinet.
Acoustics Some types of fatigue testing can produce noise which is undesirable or potentially damaging to hearing. Acoustical treatment of walls and ceiling might be necessary to prevent harm to personnel. If disk drives are included in the system, acoustical materials should not be of the type that generates or harbors dust. The Series 505 SilentFlo™ Hydraulic Power Units are designed for relatively quiet operation; no special acoustical considerations are necessary.
Relative Humidity The recommended relative humidity for the test room is within the range of 40% to 65% (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 Shims can be used under the load unit feet or isolation pads to level the load unit on an uneven floor.

HPU Considerations HPU Considerations HPU Cooling Water Requirements The hydraulic power units (HPUs) water connections are supplied with hose nipples for the recommended type of hoses. The common type of recommended hose is Uniroyal P-340 or equivalent hose rated for 150 psi (1.03 MPa) operation. Shutoff valves should be included in the facility supply and drain lines should be included to allow for unit maintenance.
HPU Considerations Softened or distilled water might not be good to use as a cooling liquid because although most of the minerals have been removed there is a higher than desirable level of carbon dioxide and oxygen present in the water. High levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen will act to decrease the protective layer of minerals that form on the surface of the tube, and increase the formation of copper oxide.
Load Unit Considerations Load Unit Considerations The load unit is typically shipped in a horizontal position on a pallet or in a crate. Lifting and moving instructions that describe proper handling methods are placed in a protective envelope and shipped with the load unit. These instructions include recommended methods to remove the unit from the pallet, raise the unit erect, and move it into position. Read all provided instructions carefully to understand how to handle the weight of the components.
Electronic Console Considerations Electronic Console Considerations Console Handling Requirements The electronic console is shipped with a protective covering to prevent damage to the controls and cable connectors and to prevent dust infiltration. It is recommended that the covering not be removed until the unit has been placed in its final position for expected use. Large stand-up consoles have lifting eyes as well as casters for easy movement.
Computer Console Considerations Computer Console Considerations Packaging and movement of the computer console is similar to the electronic console. Other peripheral components (such as disk drives) that are susceptible to dust contamination should be placed away from obvious sources of contamination, and the room should be slightly positively pressurized to prevent migration of dust and dirt into the room.
