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 a 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.
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 generated vibration signals is
called the tolerance and is strictly defined by the standard ISO8041:2005.
4. SV111 model information
The model SV111 is a Portable Vibration Calibrator. It is designed to check/calibrate various
types of vibration level meters according to the ISO 8041:2005.
Three standard frequencies 15.92 Hz, 79.58 and 159.2 Hz (plus one more extra 636,6Hz)
combined with high loading mass brings opportunity to calibrate almost any existing
transducer.
Because of its dedicated adapters, SV111 allows to take measurements in three directions.
So, to calibrate effectively tri-axial transducers!
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 unique feature of SV111 is capability to calibrate complete “seat accelerometer”,
without necessity to extract accelerometer form the rubber cushion!
The robust case allows placing the calibrator directly on the ground, what is extremely useful
in the field applications. Built in electronic leveling system helps with correct positioning of
the device for correct vibration calibration. Leveling of the SV111 is important for keeping
transversal vibrations levels within tolerances specified by the ISO8041:2005.

5. Unpacking and Inspecting the package contents
Despite careful packing, the risk of the device damage cannot be entirely eliminated. Upon
delivery, please make sure that the device is not damaged and verify that you received the
ordered equipment and optional accessories (if ordered). In case of any problems, please
contact an authorized Svantek representative, the service staff or the manufacturer directly.
The complete set includes the following items:
 SV111 Vibration calibrator
 SA 33 AC/DC adapter
Before using the device:
 Be sure that the shaker shipping lock is detached. Starting the vibration calibrator
with the shipping lock may destroy it.
To detach the shaker shipping lock, unscrew four bolts with the hex wrench and two screwdriver
tips attached to the magnet. Screw the central bolt into the loose sleeve.
Don’t throw away the transport lock with three bolts because it is necessary to secure the shaker
during transportation.

SV111 User Manual
 Charge SV111 to the full. In order to charge the battery, connect SA33 AC/DC adapter
plug to SV111 EXT_DC supply socket and then connect it to the mains.
The SA33 AC/DC adapter is placed in the charger slot.
 If the device has been kept or transported in low temperature (below 0 °C), it is
recommended to leave it for a few hours in the room temperature before connecting
it to the power supply. If any steam condensation appears, it is recommended not to
connect the device to the mains electricity for 4 to 8 hours until the exterior surface
is dry.
6. Optional accessories
The SV111 calibrator set doesn’t include the SA105 adapter used for calibration of the
SV105B hand-arm transducers and the SA44 adapter for calibration of the SV 3023M2
transducers. These adapters are optional and should be ordered separately.

11. Installation of the whole-body sensor
The whole-body sensor can be tested/calibrated at 15.92 Hz only!
 dismantle the adapter from the case cover and screw it to the shaker with one or
more bolts (one central bolt should be sufficient for the system check)
 dismantle the support system from the case holder, put it on the adapter and tight
the fixing bolt:
 unscrew the central screw of the whole-body sensor and install the sensor on the
support system screwing them altogether:

13

12. Installation of the SV 105 Hand-Arm sensor
The SV 105 Hand-Arm sensor should be calibrated at 79,58 Hz only.
 unscrew the fixing screw with the special screwdriver (included in the SV105 set),
detach the sensor from the belt holder and screw the sensor to the calibration
adapter with the special screw (included in the SV105 set):
To avoid malfunction of the sensor, use the fixing screws delivered with the kit
- marked with the ‘B’ on the collar.
The older version of hand adapter kits uses different size screw therefore use of fixing screws
from different kits may cause a malfunction of the sensor.
In case the fixing screws are lost, please contact your local distributor or send an e-mail to
[email protected]m.
To avoid malfunction of the sensor during in-situ check and periodical
verification use ‘CAL ONLY’ fixing screw. ‘CAL ONLY’ fixing screws (2 pcs) are
included in the SA 105B adapter kit
SA 105B adapter is only compatible with SV 105B, SV 105BF and SV 107B sensors.
The older version of hand adapters SV 105A, SV 105AF, SV 107B are compatible with the screw.

13. Installation of the SV 3023M2 accelerometer
The SV 3023M2 accelerometer is mounted on the shaker with special adapter (SA 44). The SA 44
adapter set includes two studs M5/M5 and M5/M3. The M5/M3 stud is used for fixing the
accelerometer to the adapter. Another M5/M5 stud is used for fixing adapter with the accelerometer
to the shaker.
The SA 44 adapter allows to calibrate the SV 3023M2 accelerometer in all directions.
14. Installation of the general-purpose accelerometer
The general-purpose accelerometer (for example, SV 80) is mounted directly on the shaker with
special stud, normally included in the accelerometer set.

When vibration parameters are set, run the shaker by
pressing ‘Start/Stop’ button.
During leveling of the calibrator, the diodes are blinking
yellow (orange)
 When the vibrations are steady, the diodes are lighting
with continuous green light and the information ‘Level

In special cases described below some diodes may have
red lights. The explanation of red diodes is displayed on
the screen.
THD
(Total harmonic distortion)
–
means that
the harmonics on Z axis exceed threshold 5% (-
26 dB) of reference vibration level.
For example: When the vibrations are set with
≈16 Hz, 1 m/s^2 (120 dB), then the total
vibrations amount with frequencies n*16 HZ (32,
48, 64, 80,...) cannot be higher than 0,95
m/s^2(94 dB)

19
SV111 User Manual
SV 111 is compensating harmonic distortion
X Y Vibration
means that vibrations’ level in X or
Y (corresponding diode is lighting red) direction
are higher than 10% (-20dB) of vibrations level
generated in Z direction
This means that both kinds of mistakes were
made at the same time.
The
device cannot reach set parameters, and the
device stops generating the vibrations
 While the shaker is working, set parameters can be
checked by pressing either the ‘Level’ or ‘Freq.’ button:

16. 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.
 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
