1. Introduction
This manual is to help the operator understand the operation of the L-Series Universal Testing
Machine. The L-Series range of machines are designed to operate with an external personal
computer (PC). Software is supplied to enable the machine to conduct tests in the chosen
materials. The software operates under the Microsoft Windows environment.
The L-Series range of testing machines with their versatile, easy-to-use software package are
ideal for determining the mechanical and physical properties of materials in Tension,
Compression, Flexure and Shear. Many other physical properties may also be investigated.
There are five machine capacities in the L-Series range. These are H1KL (1000N), H5KL
(5000N), H10KL (10KN), H25KL (25KN) and H50KL (50KN). All machines are similar in
functionality and are supplied with the same auxiliary interface. The L-Series range of testing
machines employs two load frame configurations. A single screw arrangement for low capacity
machines (H1KL and H5KL) and a twin screw arrangement for high capacity machines
(H10KL,H25KL and H50KL)
All L-Series machines are supplied with an external Power Transformer. The standard power
transformer is designed to operate from a 230V 50Hz public network supply. The output of the
power transformer is 48V AC and is used to power the testing machine. The power transformer
can be supplied for different public network supply voltage and frequency’s, (110V 60Hz)
however this must be specified when ordering
There may be aspects of material testing not covered in this operation manual in particular the
type of grips used and additional optional equipment, such as Extensometers, Printers, etc. See
the accessory instructions provided for these options.

3. Unpacking the Material Testing Machine.
3.1. H1KL & H5KL
Save all packing materials. You may need to re-pack and transport your Materials Testing
Machine at a later date
The machine is delivered packed in a Tri-wall cardboard case. This case has pallet style blocks
at its base enabling the case to be moved with a fork lift truck.
The diagram below shows the machine as delivered.
3.1.1. Cut all straps.
Care must be taken as these straps are under tension.
3.1.2. Cut tape at top of case to enable the access and remove internal top packing.
The diagram below indicates packing to be removed.

© Tinius Olsen Ltd L-Series Manual – Issue 1 Page 8 of 31
3.1.3. Remove case by lifting it upwards.
Care must be taken as internal cartons may have become dislodged.
The diagram below indicates the direction of case removal.
3.1.4. Remove internal cartons.
Care must be taken when removing these cartons as they may be heavier than first
expected.
The diagram below indicates the location of internal cartons.
3.1.5. Remove base packing from the machine by lifting the machine vertically.
Whilst carying out this operation it is an ideal opportunity to transfer the machine to the
prepared location.
Caution This material testing machine weighs 50Kg/110 pounds. It is
recommended two or more people carry out this operation.
The diagram below shows the machine with its packing removed.

3.2. H10KL, H25KL & H50KL
Save all packing materials. You may need to re-pack and transport your Materials Testing
Machine at a later date
The machine is delivered packed in a wooded case. This case has pallet style blocks on its
back and bottom sides enabling a fork lift truck to be used when manoeuvring the case.
The packing case has been designed so that it can be shipped on its back. This is to enable
easier transportation for air shipment etc.
The diagram below shows the machine as delivered.
3.2.1. Place Upright
Before attempting to unpack the machine, the case must be stood on end, bottom end
indicated by pallet style blocks. Rotating the case to its upright position should not be
attempted by hand and will require a overhead hoist or fork lift truck.
The diagram below the machine in its up-right position.
3.2.2. Open Case
Remove all screws around the edge of the panel and remove side. Care must be taken
when detaching the side as internal cartons may have become dislodged.
