AGATE TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
This manual is intended to inform the operating user on product specications, setup,
troubleshooting, and operation procedures for the AT2035, AT2040, and AT2050. This shaker is
designed to be a rugged, completely self-contained, battery-powered, vibration sensor test set.
The shaker is meant for use in the eld or laboratory, for the verication of control room working
conditions, or to verify the performance of vibration transducers.
Product Technical Support
For technical support for the AT2035, AT2040, and AT2050, call us at 951-719-1032 or email us
at [e-mail]. Training webinars are also available; contact technical support
for more information.
2-Year Limited Warranty
Agate Technology LLC warranties this product against defects in material and workmanship for
normal use following published product documentation for a period of TWO (2) years following
the date of purchase. The limited warranty includes drift/accuracy. Product documentation
includes, but is not limited to, the product manual, datasheet, technical specications, and
communication with our service department. This warranty does not cover damage caused by
operator negligence, misuse, abuse, accident, use inconsistent with product documentation, or
unauthorized repair or modication by anyone other than Agate Technology and its authorized
service providers. Any defective product meeting the above limited warranty requirements will be
repaired or replaced at no charge.
Disclaimer
Agate Technology LLC will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of prot or revenue, loss or interruption
of business, loss of use, loss of data, or other intangible losses arising from any defect or error
in this manual or product.
Although Agate Technology LLC endeavors to produce accurate documentation, this publication
may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. Agate Technology LLC reserves the right to
make changes, corrections, and improvements to this manual and product, at any time without
notice.

Safety information
Please keep this manual in a safe location for reference.
WARNINGS
• The shaker is designed for vertical use. Operating
in the horizontal position is possible as the shaker
element has linear bearings for support, but the
load should not exceed 400 grams.
• This instrument may shake violently at high
amplitude and low frequency. Always make sure
to keep the unit secure and operate on a stable
surface.
• When amplitude or frequency have exceeded
their acceptable ranges, the unit will issue
a warning or shutdown, depending on the
operating conditions.
• Even when closed, this instrument is not
waterproof. Never use near water.
• Failure to hold the accelerometer with the short-
handle wrench when attaching and removing
transducers can cause permanent damage to the
shaker.

AGATE TECHNOLOGY
Primary functions
1. Shake or excite a transducer under test
In shake mode, the shaker can be used as a variable frequency and variable amplitude
shaker. In this mode, the frequency and amplitude are set manually by the user while the
computer provides high-accuracy measurement signals.
2. Calculate transducer sensitivity
By comparing signals sent to the reference accelerometer by the signal generation board
and the signals returned by the transducer under test, the shaker can automatically
determine the test transducer's sensitivity to a high level of accuracy.
3. Produce a NIST-traceable calibration certicate
Once the sensitivity has been calculated and saved across the test transducer’s frequency
range, the shaker will produce a NIST-traceable certicate and graph in PDF format. This
certicate is stored in the computer’s memory and may be recalled and exported at any
time to a USB memory drive.
4. Simulate a transducer using a precision signal (function) generator
(AT2040 and AT2050 only)
The shaker is capable of producing signals over a wide amplitude and frequency using
its built-in ampliers to simulate a variety of charge and voltage signals. This allows
the user to simulate a working transducer and is the ideal tool for electronics testing,
troubleshooting, or calibrating condition monitoring systems.

Instrumentation and control system
The shaker consists of an internal charger, battery, main power amplier, charge converter,
electrodynamic shaker, NIST-traceable reference accelerometer, internal computer, signal
generation board, and LCD display screen (Figure 2).1
Figure 2. Block diagram
1 AT2040 and AT2050 only.
Charger: Internal charger which operates between 100 V and 220 V for worldwide power
support.
Battery: 6 amp hour, sealed lead acid rechargeable battery. FAA-transport approved.
Power Amplier: Takes the input signal from the signal generator and is used to drive the
electrodynamic shaker.
Electrodynamic Shaker: Produces 4.5 lbf pk of sine force and is made with carbon-
ber composite and isolated linear bearings. This provides low distortion when shaking the
transducer load.
Reference Accelerometer: NIST-traceable calibration standard accelerometer with ¼-28
tapped mounting hole.
Test Transducer: Calculate sensitivity output.
Signal Generation Board: Consists of multiple ampliers and channels selectable by internal
relays. This is categorized into three dierent applications:
• Power Amplier Output: Controls the vibration of the electrodynamic shaker at the
amplitude and frequency set by the user.
• Input: Reads the sensitivity of multiple transducer types.
• Signal Generator: Outputs a wide range of simulated voltage and current measurements.
Charge Converter: For direct input of charge mode accelerometers.
Sensor Simulator Output (AT2040 and AT2050 only): Generate articial transducer signal.
Computer: 1 GHz Cortex-A8 processor, 512 MB DDR3 RAM, 20GB of storage memory
included, with USB and network connectivity.
LCD Display Screen: Color 4.3″ LCD 480×272 resolution display with resistive touchscreen.
USB Output: Export previous tests to a USB drive in PDF or CSV format.

AGATE TECHNOLOGY
Battery operation
The shaker is powered by one 6 amp hour, sealed lead acid, rechargeable battery as its primary
power source. This battery is designed to be continuously charged at a trickle rate once the
battery reaches 100%. Battery life will depend on USB plug-ins, payload weight, along with
shaker driving force.
In low power conditions, the shaker uses
approximately 0.4 amps of power making it
possible to achieve 13 hours of battery power.
However, the shaker will shut down premature
to full discharge preventing damage and
ensuring long-term battery life.
During long periods of high power
consumption, the shaker may only last up
to one hour.
A battery light indicator is located in the top
menu bar and turns from green to red as the
battery becomes low on energy. Next to the
battery bar, is an approximate percentage of
battery remaining. See the included voltage
chart (Table 4).
The shaker may be operated with the power
plugged in. The AC charger will supply battery
charge when plugged in; however, the charge
rate will be greatly increased when the shaker is
powered o.
NOTES:
• For best results use the shaker when the battery is fully charged.
• Automatic power management will automatically turn o before full battery discharge. This
is a protective measure to ensure longer battery operating life.
• If deep discharge occurs, the battery charger is set to recharge over two or more days.
This is normal operation to prevent battery damage.
