  • Page 23: Definition Of Frequency Units

    Peak (pk) bases calculations on the highest value of the signal generated during testing. For a sinusoidal wave (as is produced by the 699A07), the peak value is calculated by RMS* 2. The 699A07 does not measure a true peak value, but instead estimates the value mathematically based upon the RMS value.

  • Page 26: Theory Of Operation

    The reference accelerometer is a PCB Piezotronics ICP® quartz shear sensor, integrated into the mounting platform. A calibration “standard” maintained by IMI is used to calibrate the 699A07 as a complete system and provides NIST traceability. Traceability information can be viewed under the tools menu as described in the previous section.
  • Page 27 IMI Sensors: A PCB Piezotronics Div 699A07 User Manual The frequency of the shaker drive signal is controlled by the front panel FREQUENCY dial. The amplitude of the shaker drive signal is controlled through a feedback loop, to maintain the stability of the actual motion. Adjusting the front panel AMPLITUDE dial adjusts the target vibration amplitude.

  • Page 28: Battery And Charger

    Under mild operating conditions (lower mass transducers at lower test amplitudes), a fully charged battery will allow the 699A07 to operate for up to 18 hours. The charge life of the battery depends on both the length of use and the amount of power (dependent upon payload, frequency and amplitude) required for a particular test.

    The chart below shows the maximum vibration levels as a function of both frequency and payloads. Payloads exceeding 800 gram should not be tested on the Model 699A07. Excessive loads may result in damage to the moving coil and flexure. Care must be...
  • Page 31 This is a safeguard against side loading the shaker. In some cases of extremely heavy shaker payloads at high vibration levels (depending on the frequency), the 699A07 may exhibit both frequency and amplitude instabilities. In this case, please reduce the excitation amplitude and/or the payload to eliminate the effect.

  • Page 33: Recommended Practices

    699A07 should be evaluated further to determine the root cause of the discrepancy. Field repair of the 699A07 is not possible, so if performance of the 699A07 is out of specification, it should be sent back to IMI Sensors for evaluation, repair and recalibration.

  • Page 35: Calibrating Charge-Mode Accelerometers

    Calibrating Charge-Mode Accelerometers The output of charge-mode accelerometers is in pico-coulombs per g (pC/g). The “Test Sensor Input” of Model 699A07 can only read AC voltage or current. Charge- mode accelerometers can be tested with the Portable Vibration Calibrator if their signal is first conditioned to mV units using an single-ended or differential charge amplifier.
