Shock and vibration

Products have been tested to withstand the shock and random vibration levels. The levels apply to all three axes and should be measured with an accelerometer on the equipment enclosures within the cabinet and shall not exceed any of the following values.


Platform condition	Response measurement level
Non operational shock	25 Gs, 3 ms duration
Operational shock	6 Gs, 11 ms duration
Non operational random vibration	0.40 Grms, 5–500 Hz, 30 minutes
Operational random vibration	0.21 Grms, 5–500 Hz, 10 minutes

Systems that are mounted on an approved package have completed transportation testing to withstand the following shock and vibrations in the vertical direction only and shall not exceed:


Packaged system condition	Response measurement level
Transportation shock	10 Gs, 12ms duration
Transportation random vibration	0.28 Grms 4 hours Frequency range 1-100 Hz
