The purpose of conducting low temperature tests on digital communication equipment is to evaluate its performance and reliability under extreme cold conditions. These tests ensure that the equipment can be safely stored and operated in low-temperature environments without failure or degradation.
The testing is typically performed using a [YASELINE low temperature test chamber], which simulates real-world temperature extremes. The specific test conditions are outlined below:
1. **Low Temperature Storage Test**: This test checks the equipment’s ability to withstand storage at extremely low temperatures. The test temperature is usually set at -55°C, though it may vary depending on the product standard or technical documentation. The test duration is 12 hours after the sample has reached thermal stability, or as specified by the relevant standards.
2. **Low Temperature Operating Test**: This test evaluates the equipment’s functionality when operating in low-temperature environments. The test chamber temperature is set to the lowest operational temperature the device is designed for. Common severity levels include -55°C, -40°C, -25°C, -15°C, -5°C, and +5°C. The test begins once the sample reaches thermal stability under non-operating conditions, then the equipment is turned on and monitored until it either reaches thermal stability again or completes the required operating time as defined by the product standard.
These procedures are based on the Chinese national standard GB/T 13543-1992, titled "Environmental Test Methods for Digital Communication Equipment." The standard provides detailed guidelines to ensure consistent and reliable testing across different manufacturers and products.
By following these tests, engineers and technicians can identify potential weaknesses in design or materials, ensuring that digital communication systems remain functional even in harsh environmental conditions. Whether deployed in arctic regions or high-altitude areas, the reliability of such equipment is crucial for maintaining seamless communication networks.
