Metrix HI-913 Installation Manual

HI-913 HARDY SHAKER
Installation Manual
1. OVERVIEW
The Metrix Model HI-913 Portable Shaker
Table provides a field-tested method
for on-the-spot dynamic verification of
accelerometers, velocity pickups and non-
contact displacement transducers. Optional
mounting fixtures and hardware needed to
connect transducers to the HI-913 mounting
platform are available upon request. A closed-
loop control algorithm provides enhanced
stability and accuracy of frequency and
amplitude levels.

The HI-913 incorporates a built-in sine wave
oscillator, power amplifier, electrodynamic
shaker, NIST-traceable reference
accelerometer and digital display. The HI-913
is completely self-contained and operates on
battery or AC power.
The built-in reference accelerometer
is attached permanently to the shaker
armature, maximizing the accuracy between
the reference accelerometer and the test
transducer. The HI-913 is designed to provide
long-term reliable performance over the
frequency range of 7 Hz to 10 kHz. The HI-
913 can be used for a variety of applications
that include:
•Verification and calibration of vibration
transducers and related test systems
•Verification of connector and cabling
integrity
•Confirm machine vibration alarm trip points
are set properly and ensure end-to-end
functionality of vibration monitoring systems
Notes
•Loads of up to 800 grams (28.3 ounces) can
be mounted directly to the HI-913 mounting
platform. Larger loads may be applied to the
platform, however, if prolonged testing of a
heavy load is planned, we recommend using
an external transducer suspension system.
Under these conditions the vibration wave-
form should be viewed on the oscilloscope
to aid in positioning the test transducer and
platform to reduce distortion that can occur
with very heavy weights.
