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.

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.

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.

Calibrating Triaxial Sensors
Calibrating triaxial sensors is done in the same way as a uniaxial sensor, but the measurements
are taken three times on three dierent axes.
Recommended method: Plug the sensor into the 8-pin DIN connector to change between
axes using the calibrator's electronics and internal relays. Using this method, the operator only
needs to change the positioning of the sensor and not the cable.
Alternate method: If the operator would prefer to use BNC breakouts instead of the internal
electronics, the shaker supports that as well.
NOTE: AT2035 can calibrate triaxial sensors using BNC breakouts.
To calibrate a triaxial accelerometer:
1. Mount and connect the accelerometer (Figure 40).
2. Choose Test from the main menu.
3. Choose the appropriate channel.
4. Select the sensor model and sensitivity.
5. Take the rst set of readings for the X-axis.
6. Rotate the sensor 90-degrees (Figure 40) and select the next triaxial channel in the menu
screen.
NOTE: If using BNC breakouts, the operator must stay on Triax Channel A and change the
connector manually instead.
4. Take second set of readings
5. Repeat step 3.
6. Take third set of readings.
Figure 40. Sensor positioning and connection method
4. Select Transmitter as the sensor type and select the manufacturer (Figure 35 and
Figure 36).
5. Select the transmitter model and sensitivity (Figure 37).
6. Select the Manual button or Automatic button on the sensor prole screen (Figure 38).
AT2040 will provide +24 volts to power the sensor and read back current from the transmitter.
NOTE: When connected with no vibration, the transmitter will display 4 mA. If the transmitter is
connected and the current reads 0 mA of current, the sensor is faulty or not connected.
