DETERMINATION

METHOD

1.       Pre-Test Resistance Check

2.       Pre-Test Thermal Images (12V at 1, 2, 5, & 10min)

3.       Pre-Test Heat-Up Curve (13V -10°C 30min Soak)

4.       Thermal Cycle 303.5B (10 Day)

5.       Ingress Egress

o   25,000 Cycles

o   Artificial Leather to have at least a 30min rest period every 50 cycles.

o   Visual/resistance Inspections every 2,500 cycles.

o   Inspection cycles equate to every ~34hrs (~14 total test duration days)

6.       Knee Load Cyclic Loading (5 points 1,000 cycles at 1,000N)

7.       Post Knee Load Resistance Check

8.       Vibration Durability 309/311 (24hr Z, 8hr X & 8hr Y)

9.       Post Vibration Resistance Check

10.   Post-Test Thermal Images (12V at 1, 2, 5, & 10min)

11.   Post-Test Heat-Up Curve (13V -10°C 30min Soak)

12.   Insulation Test

13.   Overage Test
