Basic Care and Handling 

TDAS G5 DAS units are precision devices designed to operate reliably in dynamic testing 

environments.    Though  resistant  to  many  environmental  conditions,  care  should  be 
taken not to subject the unit to harsh chemicals, submerge it in water, or drop it onto 

any hard surface. 

WARNING: 

Electronic  equipment  dropped  from  desk  height  onto  a  solid 
floor  may  experience  as  much  as  10,000 g.    Under  these 
conditions, damage to the exterior and/or interior of the unit is 
likely. 

Should a TDAS G5 DAS be removed from its docking station, we recommend that you 

always cover the 216-position interface connector with the rubber cap provided with the 

unit.    If  you  feel  the  interface  connector  on  your  TDAS  G5  DAS  unit  has  become 
contaminated, please contact DTS support before attempting any cleaning procedure.  

When not in use or if shipping is required, we suggest that you always place the unit in 
the padded carrying case originally provided with your system. 

WARNING: 

The  gold-plated,  216-position  interface  connector  on  the 
TDAS G5 DAS should be treated with great care.  It is through 
this interface that all signals enter and exit the DAS.  Any debris, 
solvents,  or  oil  (even  from  fingers),  can  compromise  the 
integrity of the connections/signals. 

The TDAS G5 DAS is supplied with calibration data from the factory.  DTS recommends 
annual recalibration to ensure that the unit is performing within factory specifications.  

It is not user-serviceable and should be returned to the factory for service or repair. 

Shock Rating 

TDAS G5 DAS units are designed to function routinely in a 500 g environment such as 

that experienced in severe in-dummy applications.  All vehicle-/sled-mounted systems 
are rated for and fully tested to 100 g, 12 msec duration, in all axes.  TDAS G5 equip-

ment can be mounted directly on a vehicle, sled or other dynamic testing device.
