Stress Test Results (Stereo ace)#
Cameras were submitted to an independent mechanical testing laboratory and subjected to the stress tests listed below. The mechanical stress tests were performed on selected camera models. After mechanical testing, the cameras exhibited no detectable physical damage and produced normal images during standard operational testing.
| Test (Standard) | Axes | STA-100 | STA-200, STA-300 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shock (DIN EN 60068-2-27) | X, Y, Z | 50 shocks pos./neg. each 10 g / 11 ms 100 shocks per axis in total | 50 shocks pos./neg. each 5 g / 11 ms 100 shocks per axis in total |
| Sine (DIN EN 60068-2-6) | X, Y | 5 cycles up/down 10–58.1 Hz, 0.75 mm 58.1–500 Hz, 10 g 1 Octave/Minute 10 cycles per axis in total | 5 cycles up/down 10–60.1 Hz, 0.35 mm 60.1–250 Hz, 5 g 10 cycles per axis in total |
| Z | 5 cycles up/down 10–58.1 Hz, 0.75 mm 58.1–200 Hz, 10 g 1 Octave/Minute 10 cycles per axis in total | 5 cycles up/down 10–60.1 Hz, 0.35 mm 60.1–100 Hz, 5 g 10 cycles per axis in total | |
| Random (DIN EN 60068-2-64) | X, Y | 10–500 Hz PSD 0.05g2/Hz 30 min per axis | 10–250 Hz PSD 0.05g2/Hz 30 min per axis |
| Z | 10–200 Hz PSD 0.05g2/Hz 30 min per axis | 10–100 Hz PSD 0.05g2/Hz 30 min per axis |
The mechanical stress tests were performed with dummy cables connected to the camera's connectors. Subjecting the camera to forces beyond these conditions can damage vital parts of the camera, e.g., the diffusors. This can render the camera unsafe for use.
