Brief Overview

We've taken a successful industrial product, the 9100C Portable Vibration Calibrator, with an outdated
design, and run it through the TMS innovation engine. The Modal Shop has engineered market
leadership, packaging, performance and precision with state of the art actuation and reliability to create
the 9100D.

Benefits:

With improved reference accelerometer and system uncertainty, the new 9100D Portable Vibration
Calibrator is ideal for field validation and calibration of an entire measurement channel. Use it to
calibrate accelerometers, velocimeters and proximity probes, confirm machine vibration alarm trip
points are set properly and ensure end-to-end functionality.

Main benefits are:

 Rugged portability

o Sturdy shaker element

o Heavy duty quality and protection of sealed Pelican® brand case

 Simple and elegant usability for the plant floor and beginner metrologists

o Easy to use interface, with just two dials to adjust frequency and amplitude

o Improved battery life to last more than 18 hours

 Precision control

o PCB® industry standard ICP® quartz shear mode reference accelerometer

o Digital electronics including compact amplifier, including digital data acquisition and

innovative closed loop control algorithm for enhanced stability and accuracy

Introduction:

The 9100D Portable Vibration Calibrator (PVC) is the ideal tool for the field check of accelerometers,
velocity transducers and proximity probes over a wide operating frequency and amplitude range. With a
simple, easy to use interface, the unit is a small, completely self-contained vibration reference source
that conveniently validates the entire channel of transducers through measurement, monitoring or
recording systems. Packaged in a lightweight, heavy-duty Pelican Storm Case, the 9100D is always ready.

The 9100D neatly and precisely integrates a built-in sine wave generator, power amplifier,
electrodynamic shaker, NIST traceable reference accelerometer and digital display. The integral,
precision PCB ICP quartz reference accelerometer provides superior stability, while the shaker table is
built with robust carbon fiber composite armature flexure supports. The state of the art TMS electronic
design, significantly extends battery life and provides closed loop level control for superior quality
vibration calibration from 7 Hz to 10 kHz compared with other portable field calibrators.

The 9100D is also available as a K9100D kit configuration. This kit configuration adds a Fluke digital
multimeter, additional mounting accelerometer adaptors and a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet macro to
create metrology styled calibration certificates.
