Modes of Operation The HVM100 is divided into three modes of operation. The standard mode is the vibration mode. This is the mode included with the instrument. The other two modes are optional modes.
- 3 dB corner frequencies at the frequencies listed in table 3 below. When a frequency weighting is selected in the HVM100 Hand-Arm mode, or Whole Body mode, the HVM100 automatically places both the weighting filter and the appropriate band-limiting filter in the signal path.
This section will introduce you to the keypad and functional- ity of the HVM100. Menu Navigation Navigating through the HVM100”s menus is similar to navi- gating through other Larson Davis instruments. The menus are arranged in lists. The appropriate menu key is used to enter the menu, and then the u Up and d Down arrow keys are used to scroll through the menu.

Mode specific parameter selections can vary based on the selected operating mode. Setup commands can be sent at any time. If the HVM100 is running, and changing the parameter requires a reset, then the setup command will cause the instrument to automati- cally stop, reset, change the parameter setting and start run- ning again.
For indexed parameters (i.e. parameters for which there is a specific set of choices) the HVM100 returns the index number (i.e. 0, 1, 2, etc.). For alphanumeric parameters the HVM100 returns an ASCII string.

A P P E N D I X Frequency Response Curves The following are typical frequency response curves for the HVM100. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Numerical values given are typical. Refer to specific calibration or test results for accurate data on a specific unit.
DC output sensitivity should be calibrated, or measured, before it is used. Follow these steps to measure the DC out- put sensitivity. Step 1 Calibrate the HVM100 for the accelerometer that will be used. Step 2 Setup the HVM100 with the following settings: a.

40 dB 20 dB Step 4 Connect a DC rms voltmeter to the DC output. Step 5 Turn on the calibrator and start the HVM100 run- ning. The HVM100 should display an Arms level of 1 g. Step 6 Note the voltage reading on the voltmeter. The voltage corresponds to 1 g rms of acceleration.
DC Output For all of the Analog AC and Analog DC outputs, the output impedance of the HVM100 is 475 ohms. For minimal error, connect to instruments with an input impedance of greater than 100,000 ohms when making AC or DC output measure- ments.
20 dB). Therefore, in order for the HVM100’s AC output to function properly with each range (i.e. gain settings of 0, 20, 40, and 60 dB), the HVM100’s gain set- tings also affect the AC output signals. For example, with a gain setting of 0 dB, the HVM100 can measure input signals as large as 5.0 Vrms.
