HALT
In order to increase the field reliability of its power supplies, Condor uses HALT (Highly Accelerated
Life Test) testing. This is a design margin test, where the test specimen is exposed to
successively higher levels of stress, until failure occurs. The failure mechanism is diagnosed,
corrected, and the process is repeated until an acceptable level of margin is achieved. An
acceptable level is usually a point where the fundamental design limit is reached, or
implementation of a fix is technically or economically unfeasible. The greater the design margin,
the less likely that a field failure will occur due to that particular stimulus.

Condor Non-Operating Vibration
The product is exposed to random vibration, in order to simulate the environment encountered during
transportation. The product is exposed to 5 grms, 10-2000 hz random vibration, for 1 hour
per axis, in 3 axes. No mechanical or electrical damage is allowed.

Cold Start-up Time
The time measured, from the application of input voltage, for the unit to reach the specified output
voltage. This is measured at the specified temperature, as well as lower temperatures.
Result:
Pass
IR Imaging and Thermal Survey
The unit is photographed during operation with an imaging infrared camera to locate hot spots. The
major components, along with anything additionally identified during the IR scan, are
thermocoupled. Temperatures are measured at the maximum specified ambient temperature.
Status:
Done
