21、s Test N: Change of temperature (IEC 60068-2-14) 3 Definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the definitions of EN 50290-1-2 apply. 4 Test methods 4.1 Equipment a) Appropriate transmission measuring apparatus for determination of changes in transmission performance. b) Climatic chamber

22、 The climatic chamber shall be of a suitable size to accommodate the sample and its temperature shall be controllable to remain within 3 K of the specified testing temperature. One example of a suitable chamber is given in clause 2, test Nb, of EN 60068-2-14. 4.2 Test sample The sample shall be of s

23、ufficient length as indicated in the detail specification to achieve the desired accuracy. In order to gain reproducible values, it may be necessary for the cable sample to be brought into the climatic chamber as a loose coil or on a reel.1)At draft stage.- 5 - EN 50289-4-6:2001 General recommendati

24、ons are: - The winding diameter shall be large enough to maintain the ability of the cable to accommodate differential expansion and contraction. A winding diameter substantially greater than the value selected for cable delivery may be necessary. - Any risk of cable expansion (or contraction) limit

25、ation created by conditioning shall be suppressed. In particular special care should be taken to avoid residual tension on the cable during the test. For example a tight winding on a drum is not recommended as it can limit cable contraction at low temperature. On the other hand, a tight multilayer w

26、inding can limit expansion at high temperature. - The use of loose winding is recommended such as large diameter coils, cushioned reels with a soft layer of zero tension facility device, etc. - For optical cables, in order to limit the length of the cable under test, it is permissible to connect sev

27、eral fibres of the cable and to measure the connected fibres. The number of connections shall be limited and they should be located outside the climatic chamber. A sufficient number of fibres distributed over the cable structure should be tested, as defined in the Detail Specification. 4.3 Procedure

28、 4.3.1 Initial measurement The sample shall be visually inspected and a basic value for the transmission parameters at the initial temperature shall be determined. Pre-conditioning conditions shall be agreed between customer and supplier. 4.3.2 Cycling a) The sample at ambient temperature shall be i

29、ntroduced into the climatic chamber that is at the same temperature. b) The temperature in the chamber shall then be lowered to the appropriate low temperature T Aat the appropriate rate of cooling. c) After temperature stability in the chamber has been reached, the sample shall be exposed to the lo

30、w temperature conditions for the appropriate period t 1 . d) The temperature in the chamber shall then be raised to the appropriate high temperature T Bat the appropriate rate of heating. e) After temperature stability in the chamber has been reached, the sample shall be exposed to the high temperat

31、ure conditions for the appropriate period t 1 . f) The temperature in the chamber shall then be lowered to the ambient temperature at the appropriate rate of cooling. g) This procedure constitutes one cycle (see Figure 1). h) The sample shall be subjected to two cycles unless otherwise required in t

32、he relevant detail specification. i) Before removal from the chamber, the sample under test shall have reached temperature stability at ambient temperature. j) If the relevant detail specification indicates different temperature ranges for storage and used, instead of two separate tests, a combined

33、test procedure is allowed in accordance with figure 2.EN 50289-4-6:2001 - 6 - 4.3.3 Recovery If the ambient temperature is not the standard atmospheric condition to be used for testing after removal from the chamber, the sample shall be allowed to attain temperature stability at this latter conditio

34、n. The relevant Detail Specification may call for a specific recovery period for a given type of sample. 4.4 Requirements The acceptance criteria for the test shall be as stated in the Detail Specification. 4.5 Details to be specified - the permissible change of transmission parameter and inspection

35、 checks during cycling; - transmission parameters to be measured; - values of TA, TB and t1 and the rate of cooling or heating; - number of cycles; - humidity levels at each temperature extreme (if any); - recovery period.
