Page: 19 of 19 Summary of Operating and Destruct Limits: Stress Type Chamber Set Point Level Temp LOL -30 Temp LDL Temp UOL +70 Temp UDL Rapid Thermal Transitions Stress Vibration OL Combined Environment Stress LOL = Lower Operating Limit;LDL = Lower Destruct Limit;UOL = Upper Operating Limit; UDL = Upper Destruct Limit. For vibration there is an upper limit only. Operational Limit (OL) The stress level at which the product is still fully functional, but when the applied stress is increased, the product is no longer functional. The product recovers when the stress is reduced. Also know as a soft failure. Destruct Limit (DL) The stress level where one or more of the product s operating characteristics are no longer within specification. The product does not recover once the stresses are reduced. Also, know as a hard failure. The End of Test Report - - -30 to +70 >60 Grms -30 to +70 with 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 Grms for each cycle.
