    Manufacturer: L.A.B. CorporationModel No: RVH-72-5000

    Serial No: 466013

    5.0 TEST PROCEDURE

    All EUT was vibration tested in three orthogonal axes (vertical, side-to-side and

    front-to-back directions), from 4 to 33 hertz. A vibration test sequence wasperformed for each axis. As specified in MIL-S-167, the sequence included an

    exploratory vibration test, variable frequency test and endurance test. The test

    sequence in one direction was successfully completed before proceeding to test inanother direction.

    5.1 Mode of Operation

    The EUT was energized with 110 VAC power and operating during each

    vibration test sequence.

    5.2 Exploratory Vibration Test

    The test item was secured to the vibration table and vibrated at frequencies

    ranging from 4 to 33 hertz at table vibratory amplitudes of 0.020 0.004 inch(peak-to-peak). Each integral frequency was maintained for a minimum of 15seconds and frequencies and locations of resonances were noted.

    R030701 6

    5.3 Variable Frequency Test

    The test items were vibrated at frequencies ranging from 4 to 33 hertz in discrete

    frequency intervals of 1 hertz at the amplitude shown in Table 1. Each integral

    frequency was maintained for a minimum of 5 minutes and results for the EUT

    are recorded in Section 6.0 through 9.0 of this test report.

    16 to 25 0.040 + 0.008

    26 to 33 0.020 + 0.004

    5.4 Endurance Test

    This test was performed for 2 hours at either mount resonant frequency, structuralresonant frequency or 33 hertz if no structural or mount resonant frequency was

    identified by the test engineer. If more than one resonance was identified the test

    was performed at 1 hour for each identified frequency. The table amplitudes were

    as noted in Table 1.

    6.0 VIBRATION TEST OF CCOP RACK

    6.1 Test Installation of CCOP Rack

    The CCOP rack was installed on the test fixture. The rack was mounted to the test

    fixture using three mount interface plates that attached the eight ShockTech 901D

    isolators to the cabinets.

    The 6 base isolators were bolted to the interface plates (3 mounts per plate) with a

    total of 27 (9 per isolator) -20 UNC Grade 5 bolts, flat washers, lock washers,

    and with nyloc nuts. The 2 sway brace isolators were bolted to the interface platewith a total of 12 (6 per isolator) -20 UNC Grade 5 bolts, flat washers, lock

    washers, and with nyloc nuts.

    All three-interface plates were attached to the test fixture using sixteen -13

    Grade 5 bolts. The test fixture was clamped to the vibration table. Photograph

    9.4.3 Side-to-Side Endurance Test

    The endurance test (2 hours) was run at an excitation frequency of 7.0 hertz.

    9.5 Front-to-Back Test

    9.5.1 Front-to-Back Exploratory Test

    Prior to the front-to-back test, the test fixture was unclamped from the vibration

    table, rotated 90, and re-secured to the table. Photograph No. 17 shows the testsetup in the rotated configuration. The vibration table was excited in the front-back direction at discrete frequencies ranging from 4 to 33 hertz. A mount

    frequency was identified at 8.0 hertz and there were no structural resonance

    frequencies identified.

    9.5.2 Front-to-Back Variable Frequency Test

    Single amplitude results from the front-to-back variable frequency test are

    summarized in the table below. A mount frequency was identified at 8.0 hertz

    and there were no structural resonance frequencies identified.
