1-10 DGC-2020 General Information 9400200990 Rev I
Type Tests
Shock and Vibration: EN60068-2-6
Dielectric Strength: IEC 255-5
Impulse: EN60664-1
Transients: EN61000-4-4
Static Discharge: EN61000-4-2
Shock
15 G in 3 perpendicular planes
Vibration
Swept over the following ranges for 12 sweeps in each of three mutually perpendicular planes with each
15-minute sweep consisting of the following:
5 to 29 to 5 Hz: 1.5 G peak for 5 min.
29 to 52 to 29 Hz: 0.036” DA for 2.5 min.
52 to 500 to 52 Hz: 5 G peak for 7.5 min.
Radio Interference
Type tested using a 5 W, hand-held transceiver operating at random frequencies centered around 144
and 440 MHz with the antenna located within 150 mm (6”) of the device in both vertical and horizontal
planes.
HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing)
HALT is used by many manufacturers to prove that their products will provide the user with many years of
reliable service. HALT subjects the device to extremes in temperature, shock, and vibration to simulate
years of operation, but in a much shorter period span. HALT allows Basler Electric to evaluate all possible
design elements that will add to the life of this device. As an example of some of the extreme testing
conditions, the DGC-2020 was subjected to temperature tests (tested over a temperature range of -100°C
to +115°C),
vibration tests (of 5 to 50 G at +20°C), and temperature/vibration tests (tested at 40 G over a
temperature range of -80°C to +90°C). Combined temperature and vibration testing at these extremes
proves that the DGC-2020 is expected to provide long-term operation in a rugged environment. Note that
the vibration and temperature extremes listed in this paragraph are specific to HALT and do not reflect
recommended operation levels. These operational ratings are included in Section 1 of this manual.
