15.5. Function Check
In addition to calibration the standards demand a regular function check before measurement.
This can be done by means of the vibration calibrator VC21 from Metra (Figure 28). It supplies
stable vibration signals of 10 m/s² (RMS) at 159.2 Hz. So the entire measuring chain of sensor
and instrument can be checked in a simple way.
For a function check it may be sufficient to push the sensor onto the calibrator's shaker head by
hand pressure. Preferable are screw mounting or adhesive mounting using wax.
The sensing element of the seat pad accelerometer KB103SV has to be removed from the seat
pad. Unscrew the six outer Phillips screws from its bottom plate and pull out the sensing
element and the cable.
→ Do not loosen any other screws at the bottom plate of Model KB103SV.
Metra offers as optional accessory the mounting adapter Model 144 for attaching the seat pad
accelerometer KB103SV to a vibration exciter in X, Y and Z direction (Figure 28).
Set the VM30-H to acceleration with a band filter from 0.4 to
1250
Hz and RMS display. Adjust
the vibration calibrator to 159.2 Hz and 10 m/s². The VM30-H shall display a value between 9.5
and 10.5 m/s² in the respective direction. The displayed vibration in the other directions caused
by transverse excitation is not relevant.
You may also check the human vibration measuring ranges with weighting filters at other
frequencies and compare the output to the nominal values in ISO 8041.
16. Other Settings
16.1. Beep Sound On / Off
In the menu “8/8: Device settings”, submenu “1/6: Beeper on/off” you may switch the beep
sound on or off.
