These units will be operated under extreme conditions and exposed to desert, mountain, and ocean environments. Operational conditions include temperatures in excess of 120 degrees and below freezing. They will be subjected to blowing sand, alkali, rain, snow, salt laden air, high humidity, and very dry conditions. Their typical use will require them to be transported over extreme terrain; rock, mud, sand, unimproved roads, non-existing roads, etc. Generators will be used to operate power sensitive instrumentation systems and equipment for extended periods of time under the conditions mentioned above. Instrumentation systems will shut down if power is out of specification or slightly fluctuates.
