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 values in this table.

Table 1. Platform Response LevelsThis table gives the response measurement levels for the platform.
Platform condition	Response measurement level
Nonoperational shock	25 Gs for 3-milliseconds
Operational shock	6 Gs for 11-milliseconds
Nonoperational random vibration	0.40 Grms at 5-500 Hz for 30 minutes
Operational random vibration	0.21 Grms at a frequency range between 5-500 Hz for 10 minutes

Systems that are mounted on an approved package have completed transportation testing to withstand shock and vibrations in the vertical direction only. The levels shall not exceed the values in this table.

Table 2. Packaged System Measurement LevelsThis table gives the response measurement levels for the packaged systems.
Packaged system condition	Response measurement level
Transportation shock	10 Gs for 12-milliseconds
Transportation random vibration	0.28 Grms at a frequency range between 1-100 Hz for 4 hours
