Transducer Sensitivity
The Excieo vibration meter can be used with two seat pad transducers for
Whole Body Vibration, both of which are available from Castle Group Ltd.
Use this option to select the sensitivity of the seat pad being used. Below are
the sensitivities of the available seat pads:-
Whole Body Vibration Transducer Sensitivity Values
KD1009 1000mV/g
KD1007 100mV/g
To ensure meter readings are correct it is essential that the sensitivity selected
matches the transducer being used with the instrument. A mismatched
sensitivity setting and transducer will give incorrect measurement readings.
Press
1
for a sensitivity of 100mV/g.
Press
2
for a sensitivity of 1000mV/g.
If the sensitivity is changed then a screen prompt informs you to re-calibrate
your instrument to the new accelerometer being used. Confirmation of having
accepted that the new accelerometer must be calibrated with the new settings
of the instrument is achieved by pressing the
OK
button.
Selection of the change then has immediate effect in Real Time Mode and is
applied to any subsequent recordings taken in this mode.
Press
