2Calibration
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!
3Accuracy 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.
4SV 111 model information
The model SV 111 is a Portable Vibration Calibrator. It is designed to check/calibrate various
types of vibration level meters according to the ISO 8041-1:2017.
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, SV 111 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 SV 111 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 levelling system helps with correct positioning of
the device for correct vibration calibration. Levelling of the SV 111 is important for keeping
transversal vibrations levels within tolerances specified by the ISO 8041-1:2017.

12 Calibration of the SV 105 Hand-Arm sensor
The SV 105 Hand-Arm sensors should be calibrated at 79,58 Hz only.
The description of calibration of SV 105 Hand-Arm sensors is given based on its SV 105D
modification with the use of the SA 105D dedicated adapter. This adapter is compatible
with all previous modifications of SV 105. At the same time all previous modifications
of SV 105 can be calibrated with the use of their dedicated adapters and the calibration
description presented in the previous SV 111 User manuals.
To perform calibration of the SV 105D Hand-Arm sensor, use the SA 150C belt with the
greatest curvature.
•Screw the SA 150C belt to the SV 105D sensor with the special screw from the SV 105D
kit using for that a special 1.5mm Allen screwdriver (both included in the SV 105D kit).
If the belt was screwed to the sensor with the normal screw it is necessary to unscrew
it and screw again with the SA 105D screw.
•Apply the twisted sensor and belt to the SA 105D adapter (SV 105D must be positioned
so that the cable is facing the adapter side without thread hole). The adapter has a nut
that will tighten the SV 105D sensor to the SA 105D adapter when twisted. In order for
the belt not to dangle, it should be positioned as shown in the photo below.

During levelling 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
OK’ is projected on the display
+
•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/s2(120 dB), then the total vibrations
amount with frequencies n*16 HZ (32, 48, 64,
80,...) cannot be higher than 0,95 m/s2(94 dB)
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:
Set parameters will be displayed by 5 seconds
or
•To stop the shaker, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button
