10. Option -704: MIL-STD 704 Rev D & E (MIL704 Mode)
10.1 General
Option –704 includes a firmware implementation for Mil-Std 704 revision D and E and a short version
of revision F. For testing to revision F conform the MIL704 handbook, the GUI based software
implementation is available. The software based avionics tests are covered by a separate Avionics
Software Manual, CI P/N 4994-971, which is distributed on the same CD as this manual.
This user manual assumes that the user is familiar with the text of the relevant MIL-STD 704, test
standard. No attempt is made to explain or elaborate on the actual test specification. The
–704 option
supports both AC and DC power applications.
Test Execution Considerations
Several of the MIL-STD 704 test steps take considerable time to execute. Tests in progress may be
aborted by using the BACK button on the power source front panel.
10.2 Initial Setup
Nominal parameters for the AC Power source are as follows:
Output Voltage 115V L-N or 230V L-N
Output Frequency 360 Hz to 800 Hz for all revisions.
60 Hz for revision F only.
Nominal parameters for the DC Power source are as follows:
Output Voltage 28V or 270V L-N
Note: A setting outside these nominal values will disable the test and will prevent access to
the 704 Menu screens or execution of any test step.
The Compact i/iX Series has a maximum voltage range for 300Vrms. Consequently, not all tests for
230VAC nominal input voltage EUT’s can be performed.
10.3 Test Revision
The MIL-STD 704 option is capable of performing many sub-sections of MIL-STD 704 revision D or E.
A selection is made available to specify the revision of standard to be applied to the EUT. The MIL704
option defaults to Revision E.
