Tests
SAE J575 is a part of this document. The following tests are applicable with modifications as indicated.
ViBRATION TeST
5.1.2MOISTURE TEST
5.1.3DuST TEST
5.1.4CORROSION TEST
5.1.5PHOTOMETRY TEsT
5.1.5.1Photometric measurements shall be made with the light source of the signal lamp at least 3 m from thephotometer. The H-V axis shall be taken as parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
5.1.5.2 Photometric measurements shall be made with the bulb filament steadily burning.Photometricmeasurements of multiple compartment lamps or multiple lamp arrangements shall be made by either ofthe following methods by aligning the axis of each lamp or compartment with the photometer:
All compartments or lamps shall be photometered together provided that a line from the light source ofeach compartment or lamp to the center of the photometer sensing device does not make an angle ofmore than 0.6 degree with the photometer H-V axis. When compartments or lamps are photometeredtogether, the H-V axis shall intersect the midpoint between their light sources.
Each compartment or lamp shall be photometered separately. The photometric measurement for theentire multiple compartment lamp or multiple lamp arrangement shall be determined by adding thephotometric outputs from each individual lamp or component at corresponding test points.
