Method 514.5, Vibration

Test Requirement(s): This procedure utilizes standard laboratory vibration exciters driving the test item directly or
through a local fixture.

Test Procedure: A. The cabinet was loaded with 90 lbs on 6 shelves for a total of 540 lbs.

B. The test item is supported by a test frame independent of the vibration exciters.

C. Select the specific exciters based on size and mass of the test items and fixtures,
frequency range, and low frequency stoke length required.

Test Results: During the vibration a few screws backed out and had to be refastened with Lock-Tite. After
this correction, no damage or deterioration of functional performance was noted.

Method 516.4, Shock

Test Requirement(s):
The equipment shall not sustain any damage or deteriorate in functional performance during
or after it has been exposed to the environment described in MIL-STD-810E.

Test Procedure:

A. The cabinet was loaded with 90lbs on 6 shelves for a total of 540lbs.

B. A dummy load and an input (control) accelerometer were mounted to the table of the
shock machine.

C. Calibration shocks were performed until two consecutive shock pulses produced
waveforms that met or exceeded the shock profile.

D. The EUT was installed on the vibration test fixture.

E. The proper operation of the EUT was verified. Unless otherwise noted the EUT was in
an operational mode during testing.

F. The EUT was subjected to three shock pulses, in each direction of each axis, at the test
levels on Table 1.

Input Profile Duration

100 m/s2 11ms

Table 1. Shock Pulse Levels

Test Duration . 3 pulses/direction/axis

G. Before, during, and after the shock test, the performance of the EUT was evaluated.

Test Results: The EUT is compliant with the requirement(s). No damage or deterioration of functional
performance was noted as a result of this test. The functionality of the EUT was evaluated
before and after the test with no anomalies noted.
