Table 20 – Minimum ET Diagnostics
Electronics Temperature (ET) lower
operating limit from specification.
Units are same degree units as has
been selected for SV (Secondary
Variable).
ET Lower Limit
for Stress
Condition
Actual limit used in “Time Below Limit”
and “Time Since Last Event”. Value is
equal to “Min ET Limit” plus 10% of
limits range.
Electronics Temperature range is -40C
to 85C for a total of 125C.
“ET Lower Stress Limit” -40C + 10%
of 125C = -27.5C.
None – calculation is automatic.
Lowest Electronics Temperature ever
experienced by the device.
Units are same degree units as has
been selected for SV (Secondary
Variable).
Time Below
Lower Stress
Limit
Accumulation of minutes that device’s
Electronics Temperature has been
below the value of “ET Lower Stress
Limit”.
Backup once each 8 hour period
Time that has passed since the last
time device’s Electronics Temperature
has passed below the value of “ET
Lower Stress Limit” (in days, hours, and
minutes).
Backup once each 8 hour period
8.2.5 % Stress Life
Percent of service life spent in stressful
conditions. Indicates the % of service
life where electronics temperature is
within 10% of respective range limits.%
of Service life spent either in 10% of
lower limit range or 10% of upper limit
range.
Backup once each 7.5 hour period
