| I. SHOWER TEST:To check integrity of the Racks and Panels against water penetration. |
| Spray - | water | | Flow Rate -
| 40 Ltrs / min. / head | | Number of heads -
| 4 | | Head to Sample -
| 400 ? 100 mm | | Sample Position -
| Laying Down | | Requirement - | No Water ingress | |
| II ENVIRONMENTAL CYCLE TEST:To determine working capability of theRack and Panel for climatic conditions. |
| Lowest Temp. - | -15C | | Highest Temp. -
| 60C | | Dwell Time - | 4 Hrs. | | Transition Time - | 2 Hrs. | | Cycle Duration - | 10:30 Hrs. | | Number of Cycles - | 10 | |
| III VIBRATION TEST:To check effect of Vibrations caused due to tempest, storm and other inclement weather conditions. | Planes - | 3 (X, Y & Z axis) | | Sweep - | (10-300) Hz 2% at 1 octare10% per min. (a) Sine Sweep (10-28) ?? 1 Hz. 0.1 (2.5mm) double amplitude | | Time - | 2 Hrs. each axis | | These Racks and Panels are tested for axial Tension of 70 Newtons applied longitudinally for 10 min. on the cables and for Pig Tails / Patch Cords the test is conducted at 25 Newtons for 10 min. (to simulate effect of accidental pull). | |
