The instrument meets the following 
MIL-T-28800D require- 
ments for Type 
Ill, Class 5, Style D equipment, except where 
noted otherwise.' 
Temperature 
Operating 
Nonoperating 
-40"  C to +71° C (-40" 
F 
to +160°  F)' 
Tested to 
MIL-T-28800D, para 4.5.5.1.3 and 4.5.5.1.4,  except 
that in para 4.5.5.1.3  steps 4 and 5 
(- 
10" 
C 
operating test) 
are performed before step 2 
(-40"  C nonoperating test). 
Equipment shall remain off upon return to room ambient tem- 
perature during step 6. Excessive condensation shall be re- 
moved before operating during step 7. 
Altitude 
Operating  To  4,500 meters (1 3,716 feet)' 
Maximum operating temperature decreases 1 
" 
C per 1,000 
feet above 5,000 feet. 
Nonoperating  To  15,240 meters (50,000 feet)' 
Exceeds requirements of 
MIL-T-2880D, para 4.5.5.2.

Humidity 
Zi 
Operating and Nonoperating 
5 cycles (1 20 hours) referenced to 
MIL-T-28800D para 
4.5.5.1.2.2 for Type 
Ill, Class 5 instruments. Operating and 
nonoperating at 
95%, -5%  to +O%,  relative humidity. Operat- 
zi 
ing, +30° C to +50° C; nonoperating, +30° C to +60° C.' 
EM1 (electromagnetic interference) 
Meets radiated and conducted emission requirements per 
VDE 0871, Class 
6.' 
To  meet EM1 regulations and specifications, use a double 
shielded cable and metal connector housing with the housing 
grounded to the cable shield on the AUXILIARY CONNEC- 
TOR. 
Vibration 
Operating 
15 minutes along each of three major axes at a total 
displace- 
ment of 0.015 inch p-p (2.3 g at 55 Hz) with frequency varied 
from 10 Hz to 55 Hz to 10 Hz in one-minute sweeps. Hold for 
10 minutes at 55 Hz in each of the three major axes. All major 
resonances are above 55 
HZ.' 
Meets requirements of MIL-T-22800D, para 4.5.5.3.1.
