Safety Considerations This apparatus has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC/EN 61010 – 1 and ANSI/UL 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.
2) In connection with the permanent magnet-based Modal Exciters Types 4824, 4825 and 4826, Type 1056 is used as an optional unit to apply a pre-tensioning force to the tension wire (if such a type of stinger is used – traditional push/pull stingers do not require any...

Rack Mounting DC Static Centering Unit Type 1056 is designed to fit into a 19-inch standard rack system. It may be used free standing on its four rubber feet, or in a 19-inch instrumentation rack with its...
Control Device: Generates a DC voltage offset (bias) that is superimposed on the signal for driving the shaker. For Type 1056 to work properly, you are required to use a power amplifier capable of processing DC voltage signals, such as Brüel & Kjær Power Amplifier Types 2732, 2720 and 2721.
Mains Input: Input socket accepting a female connector. Mains voltage supplied via Power Amplifier Type 2732, 2720 or 2721 Type 1056 has to be inserted into the signal path between the generator and the power amplifier – see Chapter 4 for examples of typical setups.

CHAPTER 2 General Description Controls Press Start to start the device. The shaker head will move into its zero position. Press Stop to stop the device. The signal inputs will be interrupted and the shaker will move into its position of rest. Use the Stiffness control keys to control speed (stiffness) of the device.

Chapter 3 Operation and Configuration After connecting the device as described in Chapter 2, you may connect the mains and start configuration. Mains Supply Connection Use the power cable provided to connect the mains input to the mains output socket of the amplifier.
DC Static Centering Unit Type 1056 – User Manual Start-up Configuration Configuration of Type 1056 is done using the controls on the front panel. These keys navigate and control a configuration menu that is numbered from 1 to 53. To get started, you only need to set up a limited number of configuration parameters.
