Under-Voltage Conditions at 32C
  • Under-Voltage Conditions: Test Voltage [V] tooltip Product is tested with an increased voltage (20% increase from the manufacturer’s rated input voltage) 10.8
  • Under-Voltage Conditions: Is the sample able to function properly during and after the voltage fluctuation test? No
  • Notes About Under-Voltage Test This sample operates at input voltage range from 11 to 45 VDC. Since this sample is generating currents from the internal battery to the DC voltage supply equipment at a input supply of 13.6V or lower, this test is not performed. This behaviour is considered as an undesired effect, possibly damaging the DC supply equipment of the laboratory.
Over-Voltage Conditions at 32C
  • Over-Voltage Conditions: Test Voltage [V] tooltip Product is tested with an increased voltage (20% increase from the manufacturer’s rated input voltage) 14.4
  • Over-Voltage Conditions: Is the sample able to function properly during and after the voltage fluctuation test? No
  • Notes About Over-Voltage Test This sample operates at input voltage range from 11 to 45 VDC. Since this sample is generating currents from the internal battery to the DC voltage supply equipment at a input supply of 13.6V or lower, this test is not performed. This behaviour is considered as an undesired effect, possibly damaging the DC supply equipment of the laboratory.
