Ruggedization on Levels A to E

Abaco Systems has also introduced ruggedization on Levels A to E which are identical in every respect to ruggedization on Levels 1 to 5 except that the upper operating temperature limits are identified on a product-by-product basis. This allows Abaco to offer the highest performance products without the restrictions of fixed upper temperature limits. For products rated under this scheme, the upper temperature limit is defined in the product manual.

Level A = Level 1: except Operating Temperature = 0 to X°C (consult manual for X)

Level B = Level 2: except Operating Temperature = -20 to X°C (consult manual for X)

Level C = Level 3: except Operating Temperature = -40 to X°C (consult manual for X)

Level D = Level 4: except Operating Temperature = -40 to X°C (consult manual for X)

Level E = Level 5: except Operating Temperature = -40 to X°C (consult manual for X)
