1 INTR DUCTI N
1.1 Vibration risk and it’s assessment
During human contact with the surface of the vibrating machine mechanical vibrations are transmitted
directly to the human body affecting the individual tissues or even the whole body. Vibration that affects
humans is called human vibration and is divided into whole-body and hand-arm vibration.
In practice the most dangerous are hand-arm vibrations which can cause pathological changes in the
nervous vascular (cardiovascular) and osteoarticular system. Hand-arm vibration occurs when one or both
of the upper limbs is in contact with a vibrating surface. Typical sources of such vibration are any kind of
hand tools that generate vibration steering wheels and levers to control vehicles. The characteristic feature
of hand-arm vibration is their variability in time. Therefore very often measurement results depend on the
point in time that measurement takes place. This is a very important feature that defines both the test
methods and measurements describing this kind of vibration. This variability in time influences another
significant factor in determining the body's response to the vibration which is the exposure time (duration of
exposure to vibration).
The fundamental parameter used in the evaluation of hand-arm vibration is the vector sum of tri-axial
vibration called AEQ which is the basis for the calculation of daily exposure A(8). To identify the daily
exposure it is necessary to identify all the sources of vibration which means identifying all working modes of
tools (e.g. drilling with hammer and without) and changes in the conditions of use of the device. This
information is necessary for the proper organization of measurement and to include as many common tasks
of the operator during which he is exposed to hand-arm vibration. Daily exposure should be calculated for
each source of vibration.
After determining the sources of mechanical vibrations affecting the employee the next step is to choose the
most appropriate accelerometer mounting. According to ISO 5349 hand-arm vibration should be measured
in place or at the point of contact with the hand tool. The best location is the centre of the handle which is
the most representative location. ISO 5349 suggests using lightweight sensors to reduce measurement
errors. Measurements directly at the hand are performed using special adapters and measurement in all
three axes is recommended.
Typical vibration exposure consists of short periods in which the operator is in contact with the tool.
Measuring time should include a representative tool operation time and the measurement should start from
the moment the vibrating device is touched and should end when the contact is broken or the vibration stops
(ISO 5349-2:2001).

1.2 SV 103 as a new generation vibration exposure meter
SV 103 is the first ever made personal hand-arm Daily Vibration Exposure Meter (DVEM). Instrument meets
ISO 8041 standard and it is an ideal choice for the measurements according to ISO 5349. The SV 103 is
typically attached to the user’s arm. Similarly to noise dosimeters SV 103 daily vibration exposure meter is
small enough not to interfere with working activities. New technology of SV 107 accelerometer gives
advantages such as shock resistance no DC offset effect very low power and frequency response down to
DC. Inside the hand adapter is the latest MEMS accelerometer and a contact force sensor.
Contact forces act between the hand and the vibrating surface: the push/pull force and the gripping force.
Studies on the hand-arm vibration prove that contact forces modify exposure to vibration and the health
effects it causes The need of simultaneous assessment of the contact forces and vibration magnitudes has
been universally recognized and reflected in ISO 15230.
Figure 1-1 Examples of contact forces measurement given by IS 15230
The high resolution colour OLED screen displays information in both text and graphical form and offers
excellent visibility in dark sites as well as in full daylight conditions.
Using the computational power of its digital signal processor the SV 103 instrument can simultaneously
measure the all results (RMS Max Peak Peak-Peak Vector A(8) Dose ELV EAV) simultaneously in
three channels and perform real time 1/1 Octave or 1/3 Octave analysis.
Advanced time history logging provides safe and complete information about measured signal in the internal
large 8GB memory.
The instrument is powered from internal new generation Ni-MH rechargeable batteries offering circa 30
hours of continuous operation. The powering and charging of the instrument from the USB interface is
provided which also enables easy data exchange connection between the SV 103 and a PC without the
requirement of a special docking station.
The instrument works with “Supervisor” PC software which allows instrument configuration measurement
results viewing and exporting as well as daily vibration exposure recalculation.

3.7 Charging
SV 103 instrument is equipped with an internal charger so that the fixed internal batteries can be charged
directly from USB port or optionally provided charger (SA 54).
Ensure the SV 103 is fully charged prior to use by connecting it to a USB port or to USB charger. Ensure the
power supply is connected and the supply is switched on. The SV 103 will automatically switch on during
charging and display how much charge is within the instrument. The SV 103 will display ‘Fully charged’ once
charging is complete. This should take approximately 6 hours from a fully discharged state. A charging time
of about 2 hours will be sufficient to perform greater than 8 hours of measurement. A fully charged
instrument holds enough charge to run for approximately 30 hours.
Note that once disconnected from USB power supply the instrument will automatically switch off. If returned
to the USB connection or put again onto the docking station the instrument keeps trickle charging regardless
of whether or not it is fully charged. This keeps the battery performance in steady condition. If the battery is
fully discharged prior to being placed on a charger the SV 103 trickle charges for a short time prior to the
fast charge cycle this prevents damage to the batteries.
Notice: To charge a fully discharged battery, it would take approximately 4-6 hours. Note also, that
instrument under charging condition is slightly warm. It is normal state for NiMH type cells and does not
affect the measurement accuracy.

SV 103 USER'S MANUAL________________________________________________________
_
15
Notice: To charge multiple units at the same time via the USB port, ensure your computer or
possibly the powered USB hub such as the SA 15 or switch is capable in terms of providing enough current
performance. Standard hub or switches without external power supply are not capable to charge multiple
SV103 units due to insufficient current supply.
Current estimation: Assume the current consumption on 0.2A level, and calculate required power supply
requirement (N x 0.2A).
Power wattage estimation: With nominal voltage of 5V per USB, the power supply wattage should be 1.0W
per unit (Nx1.0W).
For example 5 units charged at once require: 1.0A/12.5W USB power supply
For example 3 units charged at once require: 0.6A/7.5W USB power supply
For example 1 unit charged alone requires: 0.2A/2.5W USB power supply
Notice: Use only high quality USB cables. Many poor quality cables do not ensure low resistance
of the cable, thus disabling proper charging of the internal cells.
3.8 Turning on/off
TURNING N: To switch the power on the operator should hold the <ENTER> key for a couple of
seconds. The instrument switches on and goes the self-test routine (during this time the manufacturer's logo
the name of the instrument and firmware version is displayed).
Then the SV 103 will enter the stopped (ready to measure) mode and enter the running instantaneous RMS
mode if enabled.
Notice: Warm up time - After power on, the instrument should be warmed up for at least
60 seconds before starting measurement.
Notice: If you leave the instrument in stopped (ready to measure) mode, the display will be
switched off after 30 seconds, and the unit will turn off after some period of no keypad activity to save the
batteries. The above mentioned period can be program and is set up for 1 hour by default.
Notice: SV 103 will show a warning screen if the battery capacity is below 2 hours of
potential measurement time.
TURNING FF: To shut down the unit the operator should hold the <ENTER> key for a couple
of seconds during which a countdown (“Shutting down” 3 2 1 ) is displayed. Thus the SV 103 gives
you time to decide if you really want to turn off the instrument. If you release the key too early the SV 103
returns to the last presented VIEW mode.

SV 103 USER'S MANUAL________________________________________________________
_
16
If enabled in the configuration setup there may be presented an additional
double-check warning screen. This is for the operator to be aware and
convinced the unit is really to be turned off.
Notice: If auto-run (timer) mode is active, SV 103 will automatically stop the measurement when
the set time is over and then turn off. If no auto-run mode is used and specific time has not been preset, the
unit will continue to measure until the battery is exhausted. Just before switch off, the measurement run will
be stopped and all data until that point will be saved securely for later download to the PC.
3.9 Starting and stopping measurement run
START:
Before starting a measurement ensure that:
1 the instrument is turned on
2 there is sufficient battery operating life and free memory by checking the status screen

4 RUNNING AND PERATING BASIC PR CEDURES
4.1 The VIEW mode presentation concept
Such an advanced vibration instrument as the SV 103 offers a large amount of parameters for the operator
to inspect. Therefore all information is divided in neatly organized manner as VIEW modes for each channel.
The VIEW mode is a way in which the measurement parameters are presented to the operator. In other
words when you change the VIEW mode specific measurement parameters and status information will be
presented in different manner as distinct screen content.
SV103 features the following VIEW modes where most of them can be individually disabled:
 Running RMS for three channels view mode
 Primary “one-result” parameters view mode - cannot be disabled
 Results for channels list view mode
 1/1 and 1/3 Octave analysis RMS spectrum view mode
 1/1 and 1/3 Octave analysis spectrum MAX view mode
 Instrument Status view mode
 File Information view mode
4.1.1 Running RMS view mode
Running RMS presentation mode is used when measurement run is not actually running that is when the
instrument is in standby mode before or after a measurement. In this mode the current RMS results for all
channels are calculated and displayed but not stored in the instrument's memory. The purpose of this
information is to give the user a first indication of the vibration levels about to be measured. The instrument
behaves as a simple general purpose vibration level meter in this view mode.
Figure 4-1 Running RMS view mode screen
4.1.2 Primary “ NE-RESULT” parameters view mode
The one result mode is always available in all measurement modes and cannot be disabled. In one result
mode any measurement result selected via <SCR LL> or key may be presented. The user
may change the actual channel view by pressing <AXIS> key. This view mode is useful if in low vision
conditions or is suitable for operators with some visual impairment.

4.1.3 Results for channels view mode
To get information about a number of results at one time it is handy to switch to the “results list” view mode.
Up to three parameters at a time are accessible for the operator.
Figure 4-3 Results list view mode screens
4.1.4 CTAVE analysis spectrum view mode
If enabled the instrument operates as a 1/1 or 1/3 octave band real time analyser (RTA). In addition and if
enabled 1/1 or 1/3 octave analysis is performed in parallel with the exposure level meter operations. All 1/1-
octave digital pass-band filters (with 11 centre frequencies from 1 kHz down to 1 Hz; in base two system) or
1/3-octave digital pass-band filters (with 34 centre frequencies from 1.6 kHz down to 0.8 Hz; in base two
system) are working in real-time with the RMS detector for all three channels.
Notice: The two overall TOTAL MS results are measured with the weighting filters (Wh and
BL(Wh)) without taking into account the settings of the instrument for channels. The spectra are always
linearly averaged.
The results of 1/1 and 1/3 Octave analysis (so-called spectrum) can be examined by the user on a display
in Spectrum VIEW presentation mode. 1/1 and 1/3 Octave spectra for all centre frequencies of pass-band
filters together with the 2 total overall values measured with the Wh and BL(Wh) frequency weighting filters
are presented in the Spectrum mode if enabled in configuration setup. Spectrum cursor can be moved left
and right with <SCR LL> , <SCR LL> keys respectively.

• and current Setup information
Instrument Battery screen is moved down and up with <SCR LL> and keys respectively.
Figure 4-6 Instrument Battery view mode screens
Notice: Battery state of charge calculation is based on internal charge counter and should be
considered only as an overall, not very precise, determined estimation. Therefore the time left could be
noticeably different. Although the newest technology cells are used the slight degradation over time
is inevitable thus aging requires occasionally factory based (or authorised service centre) replacement of the
rechargeable battery cells.
Notice: Battery power indicator - To improve accuracy of remaining battery life indicator, run the
instrument until it is fully discharged; then proceed with a full charge via the micro USB port or docking
station. The procedure is recommended before first use. epeat this procedure every few months of use
to maintain more accurate current battery condition indication.
