    THIS MANUAL. WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. WARNING: LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE WILCOXON AMPLIFIER AND MATCHING NETWORKS. Safety section The piezoelectric shakers can be safely operated when the instructions in this manual are carefully followed.
  • Page 4: Safety Summary

    4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the power amplifier cover. No user- serviceable parts are inside. Refer all servicing issues to Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies. 5. Do not attempt to operate a power amplifier without the protective covers secured.
  • Page 5: Theory Of Operation

    The model F7 shaker is specifically designed to be mounted within the central core of either the Wilcoxon F4 or F10 electrodynamic shaker. Piezoelectric shakers consist of three main components: the head or table, the compliant piezoelectric stack and the reaction mass.
  • Page 6: Piezoelectric Reaction Shakers

    During the design of this base, particular attention was given to yield a minimum mass below the force gage.

  • Page 10: Initial System Setup

    Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies power amplifiers are purchased and shipped separately from vibration generator products. Refer to the operating guide supplied with the power amplifier for connection instructions. If using a power amplifier other than one supplied by Wilcoxon, follow that manufacturer’s recommended procedure for installation and operation.
  • Page 11: Connect The Matching Network

    Do not exceed the maximum input voltage to the piezoelectric shaker if another powering system is used. 3.5.5 The following table indicates the cable types and connections for the Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies power amplifiers, matching networks, and piezoelectric shakers. This table should be consulted for guidance as to cable and equipment connection.
