Environment Test Sony DIR-1000, ID-1 Digital Tape Recorder (Vibration, Temperature and Humidity)
John Morgan, Paul Beer · 1992
This test was conducted in order to evaluate the suitability of a commercially available tape recorder as a back-up for tape recorders being developed for different military programs. The recorder was subjected to vibration simulating the flight profile of a P3 aircraft, excluding take off and landing. Temperature and humidity simulated the operational envelope of the P3. The commercial Sony DIR-1000 unit held up very well, failing only after the 50 deg C, 60% Relative Humidity soak point.
