PCB Piezotronics 699B07 User manual

The information contained in this document supersedes all similar information that
may be found elsewhere in this manual.
Service –Due to the sophisticated
nature of the sensors and associated
instrumentation provided by PCB
Piezotronics, user servicing or repair is
not recommended and, if attempted,
may void the factory warranty. Routine
maintenance, such as the cleaning of
electrical connectors, housings, and
mounting surfaces with solutions and
techniques that will not harm the
physical material of construction, is
acceptable. Caution should be observed
to ensure that liquids are not permitted
to migrate into devices that are not
hermetically sealed. Such devices
should only be wiped with a dampened
cloth and never submerged or have
liquids poured upon them.
Repair –In the event that equipment
becomes damaged or ceases to
operate, arrangements should be made
to return the equipment to PCB
Piezotronics for repair. User servicing or
repair is not recommended and, if
attempted, may void the factory
warranty.
Calibration –Routine calibration of
sensors and associated instrumentation
is recommended as this helps build
confidence in measurement accuracy
and acquired data. Equipment
calibration cycles are typically
established by the users own quality
regimen. When in doubt about a
calibration cycle, a good “rule of thumb”
is to recalibrate on an annual basis. It is
also good practice to recalibrate after
exposure to any severe temperature
extreme, shock, load, or other
environmental influence, or prior to any
critical test.
PCB Piezotronics maintains an ISO-
9001 certified metrology laboratory and
offers calibration services, which are
accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025,
with full traceability to SI through
N.I.S.T. In addition to the normally
supplied calibration, special testing is
also available, such as: sensitivity at
elevated or cryogenic temperatures,
phase response, extended high or low
frequency response, extended range,
leak testing, hydrostatic pressure
testing, and others. For information on
standard recalibration services or
special testing, contact your local PCB
Piezotronics distributor, sales
representative, or factory customer
service representative.
Returning Equipment –Following
these procedures will ensure that your
returned materials are handled in the
most expedient manner. Before
returning any equipment to PCB
Piezotronics, contact your local
distributor, sales representative, or
factory customer service representative
to obtain a Return Warranty, Service,
Repair, and Return Policies and
Instructions Materials Authorization
(RMA) Number. This RMA number
should be clearly marked on the outside
of all package(s) and on the packing
Service, Repair, and Return
Policies and Instructions

list(s) accompanying the shipment. A
detailed account of the nature of the
problem(s) being experienced with the
equipment should also be included
inside the package(s) containing any
returned materials.
A Purchase Order, included with the
returned materials, will expedite the
turn-around of serviced equipment. It is
recommended to include authorization
on the Purchase Order for PCB to
proceed with any repairs, as long as
they do not exceed 50% of the
replacement cost of the returned
item(s). PCB will provide a price
quotation or replacement
recommendation for any item whose
repair costs would exceed 50% of
replacement cost, or any item that is not
economically feasible to repair. For
routine calibration services, the
Purchase Order should include
authorization to proceed and return at
current pricing, which can be obtained
from a factory customer service
representative.
Contact Information –International
customers should direct all inquiries to
their local distributor or sales office. A
complete list of distributors and offices
can be found at www.pcb.com.
Customers within the United States may
contact their local sales representative
or a factory customer service
representative. A complete list of sales

1. INTRODUCTION
PCB Piezotronics’Portable Vibration Calibrator (PVC) can be used to validate any type of vibration analyzer or vibration
meter. The PVC Report Generation workbook ver.3.1.0 includes a “Vib Analyzer Data” tab (shown below) that is used
to create Linearity and Frequency Test Certificates for Vibration Analyzers. This Microsoft Excel® Macro-Enabled
workbook provides an intuitive interface that allows users to create and print a calibration certificates in a few minutes.

2. VIBRATION ANALYZER CERTIFICATE
2.1 Creating a Vibration Analyzer Certificate
Using PCB Piezotronics’ Portable Vibration Calibrator and supplied Report Generation Workbook, technicians can
create calibration reports for their portable vibration analyzers by mechanical vibration simulation rather than voltage
injection. A mechanical simulation allows users to test the entire measurement chain: sensor, cabling, and analyzer.
Calibration is performed by comparing a known source of vibration at different amplitudes and frequencies to the
analyzer or meter reading. PCB Piezotronics’ Portable Vibration Calibrator (NIST traceable, ISO 16063-21 and 17025-
compliant) provides variable vibration amplitudes with a very wide frequency range. With this ideology, the analyzer
and its sensing elements are validated together as a system. For route-based predictive maintenance where one sensor
is magnetically mounted on many machines at many points, PCB recommends performing a complete frequency
response test of the accelerometer. Its accuracy is important at many frequencies. Test to maximum frequency of
interest (Fmax) on the vibration analyzer. If high frequency bearing fault detection methodologies are in use, test the
sensor to the highest possible bearing defect frequency.
Tip: Magnetically mounting sensors greatly reduces high frequency response. A ferrous magnet target,
mounting pad, is included with the Portable Vibration Calibrator. One can install this pad on the shaker and
mount accelerometers magnetically. Always rock the sensor in place as one would on the machine. Test the
accelerometer to the maximum frequency of interest (Fmax) on the analyzer to see if response is amplified at
relevant high frequencies.
To create a NIST traceable calibration certificate for a vibration analyzer or meter, the following items are required:
PVC Report Generation Workbook ver.3.1.0 (Released in March 2019) or later
Calibrated Portable Vibration Calibrator
Calibrated voltmeter or oscilloscope
BNC male to BNC male cable (e.g. PCB Series: 012A, 002D and 003D)
BNC female to double banana plug (Pomona Model 1269)
Step 1 Start by filling the vibration Analyzer/Meter information and Settings
Analyzer mode: Spectra, Overall, or Time waveform

Model 699B07 | PCB Piezotronics, Inc.
Page 6
Tip: Some vibration data associated with a certain frequency appears in (leaks into) adjacent frequencies; this
is called leakage error. Non-periodic signals or transients that are not properly windowed cause leakage errors.
In other words, a leakage error occurs because of a truncation of the waveform. Proper windows and selection
of sampling frequency can reduce or eliminate the leakage effect. Different window types apply different shaping
functions to the vibration waveform signal before computing the spectrum For example, Hanning window
(window factor 1.5) is the most common window used in vibration analysis and normal analyzer operation. It
smooths end effects and reduces leakage in the spectrum. However, it reduces the amplitude by ≤16%. Uniform
window (aka Rectangular or No Window) does not apply any shaping and is subject to leakage and amplitude
errors. It reduces the amplitude by ≤36%, yet is very effective with transient vibration and used when there is
more concern with frequency than amplitude. For more details about window type, please consult your vibration
analyzer user manual.
Although, users can choose between the below four window types, that does not change any measurement or
calculations in the workbook. This is just to document your on-site analyzer settings.
Analyzer Sensor Input Sensitivity and Unit: entering the accurate sensor sensitivity in the analyzer is a key
element of your route-based measurements. You should use the Portable Vibration Calibrator to measure
the sensitivity at the reference frequency (100 Hz or 159.2 Hz) and document this value in the analyzer and
workbook. To learn more, visit our Field Calibration of the EmersonTM CSI 2130 Vibration Analyzer video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFe3O6XEMwU.
Step 2 Fill in your Test Equipment details in the blue cells
It is good practice to test the vibration calibrator for any reference accelerometer sensitivity drifts before
validating your vibration analyzer. PCB Piezotronics’PVC is controlled (Closed-Loop) by an internal shear
mode quartz reference accelerometer. The voltage output of the reference accelerometer can be
monitored through the available MONITOR REFERENCE OUT BNC output by connecting it to a readout
device (e.g. voltmeter or oscilloscope) in real time.
The calibration sensitivity at 100 Hz can be found on the original A2LA-Accredited calibration certificate
supplied by PCB Piezotronics.
To measure the sensitivity of the Portable Vibration Calibrator:
a) Set the PVC to 1.00 g RMS at 100 Hz
b) Connect the DMM to the MONITOR REFERENCE OUT and measure mV AC
c) Record the Measured Sensitivity at 100 Hz in cell I16
The measured sensitivity of the PVC reference accelerometer should be within ±3% of the original
calibrated sensitivity. Otherwise, please consider sending your Portable Calibrator for re-calibration
using service code ICS-41.

Sensor Information: this information pertains to the sensor used with the analyzer to collect route
vibration data. The % tolerance should be changed as advised by the sensor’s manufacturer. It is ±5% by
default.
oExample: The EmersonTM A0760 Accelerometer typically supplied with their portable vibration
analyzers has a sensitivity of 100 mV/g with +/- 5% tolerance at 100 Hz. Users should test this
sensor by shaking at 1 g RMS at 100 Hz before calibrating their analyzer. If the sensor is found to
be out of tolerance this error will manifest itself in the vibration analyzer readings. Users can
either adjust the input sensitivity of the vibration analyzer to compensate for the error or acquire a
new accelerometer.
Step 3 Fill in the known and measured values:
The known values could be entered manually or imported from the Vib Analyzer CalRoute “.pvc” file by
clicking on the Load Test Route button. For more information about CALROUTE, please consult the
Portable Vibration Calibrator User Manual.
Test frequency in cell K25 must be filled in when creating a Linearity Test Certificate.
Test amplitude in cell K28 must be filled in when creating a Frequency Test Certificate.

3. VIBRATION ANALYZER TESTING
3.1 Test Set-Up
The following example utilizes PCB Piezotronics Model 633A01 Digital Accelerometer connected to an Apple®iPhone®
running Signal Scope Pro application created by Faber Acoustical. The Faber Acoustical app is available in the app
store. The Digital Accelerometer allows users to turn their phone, tablet, or laptop into a portable vibration analyzer.
Figure 3: Test Setup –Model 633A01 is mounted onto Model 699B07 Portable Vibration Calibrator; the output of 633A01 is measured using
the Signal Scope Pro application by Faber Acoustical
The 633A01 Digital Accelerometer is mounted to the 699B07 Portable Vibration Calibrator via its ¼-28 stud. The
sensor’s integral cable is connected to the Apple®iPhone® input. The Apple®iPhone®is running Signal Scope Pro by
Faber Acoustical. The known vibration values are shown on the screen of the 699B07. “Bias Fault” appears at top left
of the 699B07’s screen because we have ICP®Power turned on within the 699B07 but do not have an ICP®
accelerometer connected to the Test Sensor Input BNC. For the purpose of this test the “Bias Fault” is not a concern.
However, if “Bias Fault” were to appear when testing an ICP® accelerometer it would indicate that the sensor under test
is dead or its cable has shorted.

3.3 Entering Linearity Test Data into the PVC Report Generation Workbook
It is important to note:
The Analyzer/Meter information including model and serial number
Any applicable analyzer settings. For example, the Frequency Max, Lines of Resolution, Averaging and
Window Type can all have an effect on accuracy.
For this linearity test we used a constant frequency of 3000 CPM. This needs to be noted in the Test block on
the right side of the form next to the raw data.
The known values are noted from the screen of the Portable Vibration Calibrator.
The measured values come from our FFT analyzer in the Signal Scope Pro application.
oNote, you can see that our amplitude deviation was consistently 3.27% to 3.60% high. There is no way
to adjust the settings in the Signal Scope Pro application to reduce this error. However other vibration
analyzers do allow users to change the input sensitivity setting which can correct consistent error such
as the example shown.
Within the supplied Microsoft® Excel PVC Report Generation Workbook the raw data for the frequency response test
is entered as shown below.
