Environment

System Inlet Temperature

Operating

10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F) at sea level with an altitude derating of 1.0°C per every 305m (1.8°F per every 1000ft) above sea level to a maximum of 3050m (10,000ft), no direct sustained sunlight. Maximum rate of change is 10°C/Hr (18°F/Hr ). The upper limit may be limited by the type and number of options installed. 
System performance may be reduced if operating with a fan fault or above 30°C (86°F).

Non-operating

-30° to 60°C (-22° to 140°F). Maximum rate of change is 20°C/Hr (36°F/Hr).

Relative Humidity

Operating

10 to 90% relative humidity (Rh), 28°C (82.4°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.

Non-operating

5 to 95% relative humidity (Rh), 38.7°C (101.7°F) maximum wet bulb temperature, non-condensing.

Altitude

Operating

3050 m (10,000 ft). This value may be limited by the type and number of options installed. Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).

Non-operating

9144 m (30,000 ft). Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).

Vibration

Operating

1 G, 10-500 Hz, 60 minutes per axis

Non-operating

2 G, 10-500 Hz, 30 minutes

Shock

Operating

Half-sine-wave shock, 40 G, 2 ms duration, in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes.

Non-operating

Half-sine-wave shock, 140 G, 2 ms duration, in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes; and square-wave shock up to 80 G, 180 inches/s velocity change, in each direction of three mutually perpendicular axes.
