Effective altitude (sea level)

a. Operating
–1000 to +10,000 feet (–305 to +3,048 meters)
b. Non-operating
–1000 to +40,000 feet (–305 to +12,195 meters)
6.4.4

Shock and vibration

Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is
installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur
internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent,
it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of
the four methods shown in Figure 10, and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 8.4. Orientation of the
side nearest the J6 may be up or down.
6.4.4.1

Shock

a. Operating—normal
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not
exceeding 15.0 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or
Z axis.
b. Operating—abnormal
Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermit-
tent shock not exceeding 40.0 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at
abnormal levels may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Speci-
fied operational performance will continue when normal operating shock levels resume. Shock may be
applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than two times per second.
c. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes
both isolated drives and integrated drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 150 Gs at a maximum duration of.05 msec (half
sinewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 250 Gs at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half
sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
