Safety Considerations This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC 61010 – 1 and EN 61010 – 1 Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory Use. This manual contains information and warnings which must be followed to ensure safe operation and to retain the apparatus in safe condition.
). A small accelerometer on the underside of the vibration table provides servo feedback to maintain a constant, accurate vibration level independent of the mass of the transducer under test (maximum 70 gram for Type 4294 and 200 gram for Type 4294-002).

To prevent overload, power to the calibrator is automatically disconnected if a transducer mass above 70 gram for Type 4294 or 200 gram for Type 4294-002 is mounted on the exciter’s vibration table. Use of the calibrator is straightforward. You can attach a transducer to the vibration table using (see Fig.2.2):...
Operation Environment and Handling Calibration Exciter Type 4294 is designed for use in environments at temperatures within the range –10 to +55°C (+14 to +131°F) and with relative humidity up to 90% RH (30°C (86°F), non-condensing). Whenever possible, the exciter should be used in its leather case (see Fig.1.1) to protect it from mechanical damage and contamination from grease or dirt.
Calibration Exciter Types 4294 and 4294-002 – User Manual Mounting a Transducer Types 4294 and 4294-002 are designed for use with Brüel & Kjær Accelerometers with maximum weights of 70 and 200 grams, respectively. The accelerometers can be mounted with “finger-tight”...
10 ms RMS/14.14 ms –2 –2 peak for Type 4294 (3.16 ms RMS/4.47 ms peak for Type 4294-002). Calibration using reference values of velocity or displacement is also possible, as mentioned in step 6).
Calibration Exciter Types 4294 and 4294-002 – User Manual Transducer Sensitivity Check For determination of the actual sensitivity of transducers, calibrated preamplifier and indicating instrumentation are required. Although not intended for absolute sensitivity measurement, the following procedure provides an approximate sensitivity check, sufficient for determining whether a transducer functions correctly and has not been damaged during previous use.

–2 –2 is the reference acceleration level: 10 ms for Type 4294 or 3.16 ms Type 4294 002 7) If a calibrated voltmeter and a conditioning amplifier are used to measure the transducer charge sensitivity, then an arbitrary mV/unit out range may be selected on the preamplifier.
