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

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.
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.
5.0 Warranty Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies offers a Warranty service plan for all Wilcoxon-manufactured products. Under this plan Wilcoxon will repair or replace any part or component that is not operating in accordance with published specifications. This warranty service plan does not include: •...
