Shock & Vibration
Built to MIL-STD810F "military standards" to ensure superior durability for all users.
All Opentec rugged computers and PDAs are designed to comply with stringent Australian and International Military standards. This ensures they are rated for use 'In Ground Vehicle" and "In Aircraft", as well as on the ground. This means they'll not only endure excessive levels of dust and moisture, but also extended periods of excessive vibration and shock (specifically due to decceleration) without any special additional external shock-absorbing systems.
BEWARE! "Shock/vibration resistant" and "MIL-STD-810E Compliant" Shock and vibration resistance are NOT THE SAME!
Vibration Test, MIL-STD-810E, Method 514.4:
Procedure I (Operational) Categories 6 & 8
To approximate rigid mounting, the Openfire is clamped to an aluminium plate and was then tested for resistance to vibration as follows:
Ground Vehicle Test, MIL-STD-810E, Method 514:
Category 8 Procedure VIII
A sine vibration with logarithm sweep from 5-200Hz was conducted. 5-6.25Hz, 1.0 inch (double amplitude), 6.25-200Hz, 2G, 12 minutes per cycle (5-200-5). The test is 5.5 hours along each of three orthogonal axes.
Helicopter Vibration, MIL-STD-810E, Method 516.4:
Category 6 Procedure I
The helicopter vibration test duration is one hour, along each of three orthogonal axes. The Openfire exhibits no malfunctions following testing.
