2.10.3 Humidity
2.10.3.1 Relative humidity
2.10.3.2 Wet bulb temperature
2.10.4 Altitude
2.10.5 Shock
All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the
input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in
the X, Y or Z axis.
2.10.5.1 Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document
when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine
shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more than two times
per second.
2.10.5.2 Nonoperating shock
The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring
physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into
operation is 350 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse of 2 msec
duration.
