this product or other products connected with it. To avoid potential hazards, use this
product only as specified. Qualified personnel should only perform the service
procedures.
Warnings, precautions and maintenance:
•Before using the calibrator be sure that the shaker shipping lock is detached. Starting
the vibration calibrator with the shipping lock may destroy it.
•Use a proper AC/DC adapter, specified for this product and certified for the country of
its use.
•Keep the product’s surfaces clean and dry.
•Even when the device is not in use it is recommended to charge the battery once a
month to keep it in good condition.
•It is recommended to carry out a technical inspection and recalibration of the device
every 12 months to ensure accurate calibration level.
•Recalibration can be made by the calibration laboratory. If there is no possibility to
recalibrate the device by calibration laboratory the device should be send to the
manufacturer.
•All maintenance work and repairs can only be done by the personnel trained by the
manufacturer.
•Handle with care.

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.

5Unpacking 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:
•SV 111 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.

•Charge SV 111 to the full. In order to charge the battery, connect SA33 AC/DC adapter
plug to SV 111 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.
6Optional accessories
The SV 111 calibrator set doesn’t include the SA 105 adapter used for calibration of the
SV 105B hand-arm transducers and the SA 44 adapter for calibration of the SV 3023M2
transducers. These adapters are optional and should be ordered separately.
