    MIL-STD-810F Method 514.5 - Vibration

    Vibration testing is performed to determine the resistance of equipment to vibrational stresses expected in its shipment and application environments. Vibration can cause:

    1. Wire chafing.
    2. Loosening of fasteners.
    3. Intermittent electrical contacts.
    4. Touching and shorting of electrical parts.
    5. Seal deformation.
    6. Component fatigue.
    7. Display / Touch Panel misalignment.
    8. Cracking and rupturing.
    9. Excessive electrical noise.

    Recon, Ranger, Nomad and Yuma all passed the following tests:

    • Procedure I, General Minimum Integrity: Power Spectral Density = 0.04G²/Hz, 20 to 1000Hz, descending 6dB/oct to 2000Hz. Three axes are tested, 1-hour per axis.
    • Procedure II, Vibration and Loose Cargo: a Logarithmic sweep 5 to 500Hz beginning at 0.20" displacement. Three axes are tested, 30 minutes per axis.
