2. Calibration
One of the fundamental questions, that are most frequently asked while taking a
measurement, is whether its result is accurate. Proceeding, with a measurement
without having a positive answer to this question, may result in obtaining data of no
practical use and wasting our time. However, we may easily obtain the answer by
performing a calibration of the vibration level meter using vibration calibrator. This
device should be used before every set of measurements.
The vibration calibrator is a device, which produces the vibration of the defined levels
and frequency. It allows to calibrate the vibration meter in comparative way.

SV110 user's manual

Calibration procedure is also the best way for the complete measuring system
(Meter, Cable and Transducer connected together) check. This is an essential action
for the reliable measurements performed in the field!
3. Accuracy of calibration
Each measurement performed by any measurement device is burdened with an
error. Result obtained from such measurement is only an estimate of the real value
of the measured quantity. Hence, the purpose of calibration is to limit this inevitable
error to a certain acceptable level. Maximum absolute value of the error of the
generated vibration signals is called the tolerance and is strictly defined by the
standard ISO8041:2005.
4. SV110 model information
 The SV 110 is a hand-held vibration calibrator designed for
verification of machine sensors as well as on-site checks of
human vibration accelerometers in accordance to ISO
8041:2005.
 The two standard frequencies 79.58 and 159.2 Hz brings
opportunity to calibrate wide range of an existing
transducers with maximum load of 0.3 kg.
 Depending on the selected frequency, the user can select
the level of the calibration from 1 m/s2 to 10 m/s2.
 Because of its own internal rechargeable battery, it is a
truly mobile and flexible device designed to use either in a
laboratory or during fieldwork.
 The light weight of the calibrator allows to perform
transducers calibration in the field conditions keeping it in
hands.
 Two diodes indicate the external vertical and horizontal
vibration that can affect the tolerances specified by the
ISO8041:2005.
 Accelerometers are conveniently attached using either a
mounting stud, a mounting disc or a dedicated adapters.
 The calibrator has built-in rechargeable batteries that
power it for 12 hours of continuous operation*.
 The calibrator has a robust casing with the leather cover for

Following the requirements of ISO 8041, the calibrator’s built-in reference
accelerometer measures the cross-axis (transverse) vibrations to detect any
interference to the calibration signal. Faults caused by transverse vibrations are
indicated by two LEDS on the calibrator’s housing. This unique solution ensures
stability of both the calibration level & frequency, independent from the mass of the
test object.
7. Manual control of the calibrator
The Instrument’s keypad is designed to be minimal, but still highly ergonomic
and easy to use providing effective operational capabilities. Thanks to that, the
number of the control push-buttons of the instrument is reduced to only three.

8. Calibration
 Install the calibrated sensor on the shaker.
The SV 105 Hand-Arm sensor is
calibrated with the use of dedicated
adapter.
The Adapter should be
installed on the shaker
with the special stud.

SV110 user's manual
12
Notice: The SV 105 Hand-Arm sensor should be calibrated at 79,58 Hz only!
The general purpose accelerometer is connected to the
shaker with the use of magnet adapter or with the special
stud.
 Switch on calibrator by pressing <Start/Stop> key for a
while. In ready to operate mode the SV 110 displays the
amplitude and frequency of the shaker
 By pressing the <Freq.> key select the shaker frequency: 79.58Hz or 159.2Hz.
 By pressing the <Level> key select the shaker amplitude, as example for an
acceleration sensor: 1m/s2, 2m/s2, 3m/s2, 4m/s2, 5m/s2, 6m/s2, 7m/s2, 8m/s2, 9
m/s2 or 10m/s2.
 When the frequency and amplitude are set, run the shaker
by pressing <Start/Stop> key.
 Hold the calibrator in a hand. Wait until both
diodes emit a green light. This means that the
calibration process is not disturbed by an external
vibration.
 Placing calibrator on a surface may cause
appearance of transverse vibrations which is
signalized by the right-hand side LED diode
emitting a red light.
 X and Y LEDs flashing yellow when the device is stabilising
in Z axis direction. When the required level is achieved the
LEDs stop flashing.
 If X and Y LEDs light red steadily it means that external
vibrations’ level in X or Y directions are higher than 10% (-
20dB) of vibration level generated by shaker in Z direction.
After external vibration is stabilized the LEDs are changed
to green. Stable condition is indicated also by message
“Level OK”.

SV110 user's manual
13
 If the calibration level is achieved by the unit, the X, Y
vibration level is indicated as a % of vibration level
generated by shaker in Z direction, but only if this level
exceeds 10% value.
THD compensation
THD (Total harmonic distortion) – means that the harmonics on Z axis exceed threshold
3% (-30,5 dB) of reference vibration level. In this case Z-diode stats to flash with red
light.
For example: When the vibrations are set with ≈80 Hz, 1 m/s2 (120 dB), then the
total vibrations amount with frequencies n*16 HZ (160, 240, 320, 400,...) cannot be
higher than 0,03 m/s2 (89,5 dB).
 If the unit detects the high THD level at 79.58Hz it will try
to compensate it. If compensation is possible the
“THD Compensation” message appears.
 If compensation fails or in case the high THD level is
detected at 159.2Hz, but the unit can achieve the
calibration level, the “Level OK, High THD!” message
appears.
 If the unit cannot achieve the calibration level at the
required frequency, the “Level unreachable” message
appears and calibration is stopped. The user will be
proposed to exit this screen.
 The inner temperature of the calibrator is constantly
controlled and if it is exceeds the certain dangerous level,
the device is automatically stopped the shaker. Such
situation may be caused by too heavy accelerometer. If
this happened the “High temperature” message appears
and the user should wait until the device temperature is
normalised and continue the calibration.
 To stop the shaker press <Start/Stop> key.
 Switch of the calibrator by pressing <Start/Stop> key for a couple of seconds during
which a countdown (“Shutting down” 3… 2… 1… ) is displayed.
9. General Care and Cleaning
 Remove the sensor and switch the device off.
 Disconnect the device from the power supply.
 Wipe the device’s surface with the cloth damped with the mixture of warm
water and detergent.

SV110 user's manual
14
 After cleaning, wipe the device with dry cloth and wait until the surface is
completely dry.
 Do not immerse the device in any fluids as this may damage the device and
cause electrical shock. Only the external parts of the device should be cleaned
10. Charging
SV 110 instrument is equipped with an internal charger, so that the fixed internal
batteries can be charged directly from USB port or charger (SA 54).
Notice: It is recommended to charge the unit with charger SA 54! Charging via
USB port is optional and by default is switched off. To charge via USB it is
necessary to have USB port with 500mA.
Ensure the SV 110 is fully charged prior to use by connecting it to a USB port or to
USB charger. The SV 110 will automatically switch on during charging and display
how much the internal instrument battery is loaded. The SV 110 will display ‘Fully
charged’ once charging is complete. Full charging from SA 54 should take
approximately 5 hours from a fully discharged state. Charging from PC via USB port is
much slower and takes approximately 10 hours for fully discharged battery. A fully
charged instrument holds enough charge to run maximum 12 hours of work with
attached accelerometer.
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.
11. Recalibration of SV110
Recalibrations have to be done for all frequencies with vibrations’ level set as shown in the
table below:
Frequency Vibrations level
79.58 Hz 10m/s

 Install the reference sensor and start the shaker with
159.2Hz and 10m/s2 vibrations parameters.
 Wait until the vibrations are steady (diodes are lighting
with green continuous light and information “Level OK”
is displayed).
 Read the vibrations level value from the reference sensor. When it is the same as
the set one skip to the next frequency. When it differs it is necessary to
enter/modify the calibration coefficient.
 Stop the shaker by pressing <Start/Stop> button
 When the device is idle press buttons <Level> and
<Freq.> at the same time to enter the menu.
 Select the sensor type in the Sensor Type position:
