Test Parameters:
Temperature at start of test 120°C
Water specification De-ionized water
Exposure time at 120°C t1 = 60 minutes
Electrical operation at 120°C t2 = 30 minutes
Splashing period t3 = 1 minute
Systems/components with function and activation in high
Operation mode
speed operating mode
Amount of water to be splashed 300ml / cycle (At least 3 points on the motor)
Orientation of the Device As in the vehicle.
Number of cycles(Ncycle) 10
Splash water temperature (Ts) 5 to + 10°C
