The SV151, SV38 and SV38V are accelerometers that use MEMS technology for accurately measuring whole-body vibration. MEMS accelerometers have very high shock resistance, no DC offset effect, very low power consumption and a frequency response down to DC level. The SV106 human vibration analyser from Svantek has multichannel inputs which allows simultaneous measurement using 2 tri-axial seat accelerometers where one of them is usually placed on the operator’s seat and the second either on the seat-rest or on the passenger’s seat. For the SEAT transmissibility measurements the small size SV 151 is placed on the vehicle floor in accordance to ISO2631-1. Mounting straps and brackets are provided with the sensors to suit most applications.

All accelerometers have built-in TEDS memory that stores information about the accelerometer sensitivity that is automatically transferred to the vibration analyser being used. A full ISO8041 in-situ calibration check for before and after measurement is possible using the SV111 portable vibration calibrator and dedicated adaptors.

The SV 38 uses an IEPE power supply and is compatible with most tri-axial vibration meters whereas the low-voltage SV 38V and SV 151 accelerometers are dedicated to work with our SV 106 instrument. The SV 38V and SV 151 consume much less energy than the SV 38 which extends the operating time of the instrument.

The SV 151 is a low cost tri-axial accelerometer based on MEMS transducer technology. Fully complying with ISO 8041, it has a built-in TEDS memory that keeps information about the accelerometer sensitivity that is automatically transferred to the vibration analyser being used.

A full ISO8041 in-situ check for before and after measurement is possible using the SV111 portable vibration calibrator and dedicated SA40* adaptor.
The SV 151 accelerometer is designed for SEAT transmissibility measurements. Its small size enables the SV 151 to be placed on the vehicle floor accurately and according to ISO2631-1 requirements.

The SV151 is a tri-axial accelerometer enabling SEAT transmissibility measurements to be measured in all 3 axes simultaneously. It can be used with any instrument that supports MEMS technology such as the SV 106 multichannel human vibration analyser.

SV 106 is a new six-channel human vibration meter and analyser. Instrument meets ISO 8041:2005 standard and it is an ideal choice for measurements according to ISO 2631-1,2&5 and ISO 5349. This revolutionary, pocket-size instrument enables simultaneous measurements with two triaxial accelerometers (e.g. both-hands vibration or triaxial SEAT transmission measurements are possible).

The RMS, Peak, Peak-Peak, VDV, MTVV, A(8) or Dose results with all required weighting filters for the HVM measurements are available with this instrument. Using computational power of its digital signal processor, the SV 106 can perform real-time 1/1 or 1/3 octave analysis simultaneously to the meter mode. Advanced time-history logging and time-domain signal recording (according to the
ISO 2631-5) to built-in Micro SD flash card give almost unlimited capabilities of data storage.

Results can be easily downloaded to PC using USB interface and SvanPC+ software. SvanPC+ software also provides the setup-editor function which manages the instrument’s settings. The Whole-Body vibration measurement is easier thanks to SV 38V seat-accelerometer which can be placed directly on the seat-cushion, floor or fixed to the back of the seat. The SV 50 set with triaxial accelerometer enables Hand-Arm vibration measurements regardless of the type of evaluated tool.

Additionally, for measurements of very high impulse vibration the special adapter SA 55, with low pass mechanical filter protecting accelerometer from DC shift effect, is available. Evaluation of the grip force will be accessible with dedicated “integrated adapter” SV 105 (under development stage).

The SV 103 is the world’s first personal hand-arm vibration exposure meter. The instrument meets ISO 8041:2005 and is the ideal choice for making measurements according to ISO 5349 and European Directive 2002/44/EC.

Hand-arm vibration is when mechanical vibrations are transmitted to the human hand when in contact with the surface of a vibrating machine such as an electric drill. This type of vibration is particularly harmful as it can cause pathological changes in the nervous system of the hands and fingers; commonly called white finger disease. As there is no cure for damage caused by vibration, the only effective regime is to take regular vibration measurements in the hazardous workplace environment and therefore ensure that damage is not caused in the first place. However, many currently used assessment methods for hand-arm vibration are subject to a very high level of uncertainty and typically vibration measurement accuracy can vary in the range of ±20% to 40% which makes a big difference in terms of white finger disease.

The SV103 from Svantek significantly decreases the measurement uncertainty as the instrument is attached to the user’s arm and is small enough to take daily vibration exposure measurements without interfering with normal working activities.

The SV 103 is powered using rechargeable batteries or through the USB interface which also enables easy interconnection between the instrument and a PC. The measurement data is safely stored in the large 8 GB memory. The instrument works with our powerful “Supervisor” software which allows instrument configuration as well as the viewing and exporting of measurement data and daily vibration exposure recalculations. The colour OLED screen displays information in both text and graphical form and offers excellent visibility even in full daylight.

The SV 105A is a low cost triaxial hand-arm accelerometer based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System)
technology. It is designed for human vibration measurements performed
according to ISO 8041:2005. The accelerometer is ideally suited for with our SV 106 six channel analyser.

Calibration of the vibration measurement setup including the SV 105A can be done using the accelerometer sensitivity written into the TEDS memory or by using a vibration calibrator with a SA 105 adapter option.
The SV 105A is supplied with three different shaped vibration contact
adapters; SA 150, SA 151 and SA 152 to perfectly match the grip of the tool or device on which vibration measurements are being taken. Each adapter includes an adjustable rubber strap for firm and comfortable attachment of the accelerometer to the operator’s hand. This solution means that the user doesn’t have to worry about holding the accelerometer in any specific way.

Thanks to its magnetic mounting, the SV 105A accelerometer can be quickly and easily attached to the vibration contact adapters and the SA 105 calibration adapter.

SVAN 958A Four Channels Sound and Vibration Analyser with time domain signal recording. It is a fully digital, four channels 20 kHz signal analyser including Type 1 sound level meter (meeting IEC 61672) and vibration meter (meeting ISO 8041:2005).

Simultaneously to the meter mode, SVAN 958A can perform advanced frequency analysis including 1/1 or 1/3 octave analysis, FFT analysis including cross spectra’s and sound intensity measurements. Reverberation Time measurements, noise dose meter and rotation speed measurements are also available. Moreover, SVAN 958A has an exceptional feature of time domain signal recording to the USB memory stick.

SVAN 958A is an ideal choice for “Human Vibration” (according to the ISO 2631-1,2&5 and ISO 5349-1&2 standards). It is offered with all required weighting filters and comprehensive range of equipment for measuring hand-arm and whole-body vibration.

SVAN 958A uniquely does the analysis in four channels. Each of the four channels can work simultaneously with independently configured input (transducer type), filters and RMS detector time constants (e.g. simultaneous three axis measurement of the Whole-Body vibration and noise dose).

Recently SVAN 958A has been improved by implementation of the special KB filter for building vibration measurements meeting the DIN 45669-1 standard (DIN 4150 standard refers to this filter).

SVAN 958A can also perform noise measurement with accuracy of Type 1. Thanks to its four channels it can measure sound by the use of four independent microphones in the same time. What is more, in sound meter mode, each channel uses three independently defined profiles which means that SVAN 958 can perform “multidimensional” analysis of measured signal in every of four channels. In practice it gives a user the possibility to obtain Leq, LMax, LMin, LPeak, Spl, SEL with different weighing filters in the same time.

The new MOLES (Miniature Outdoor Logging of Environmental Sound) is a cost effective outdoor noise monitoring solution that can run for up to an incredible 4 weeks on a single charge. Using Svantek’s market leading SV971 compact sound level meter, the MOLES is a fully autonomous monitoring solution that can be easily deployed. With options for octave and third octave band filters along with triggered audio recording the new MOLES is a cut above the rest.

The SV 215 is an acoustic monitoring case designed for indoor use. It’s main applications include residential indoor noise monitoring, audio performances monitoring and where evidence is needed to support a nuisance noise claim.

The system can do long term continuous sound level logging (Leq and optional 1/3 octave levels) with a unique capability of simultaneous Audio Events Recording (AER); essential for identification of the related sound source. The AER trigger can be set up manually (audio recording is started by radio remote control positioned up to 50-meters away) or automatically (eg. audio record is triggered when the measured Leq is above a certain level).

The AER time is user programmable as is the sampling frequency which can be selected to 12 kHz, 24 kHz or 48 kHz (48 kHz sampling frequency provides excellent audio signal quality but uses more memory). The AER function also allows recording of up to 4 seconds pre-trigger which helps to ensure that no vital information is missed.

The system contains a SVAN977 acoustic analyser which acts as both analyser and datalogger. The logger file contains both time-history results and audio-events data and is recorded to the microSD contained in the instrument. The logger file can then be downloaded to a PC and verified and played back using SvanPC++ software. As very large memory capacity is available on microSD cards, the logging capabilities are almost unlimited.

The SV 215 box is a lockable hard case with internal foam to support the instrumentation and an external manual trigger for radio-remote control. The microphone and preamplifier are mounted on the top of the case by means of an SA 08 “goose neck” (see photo). The external trigger LED indicator is also exposed on the top of the case to verify manual triggering mode. The system is powered from the internal batteries of the instrument or using an external SA 15 AC/DC power supply.

The SV 110 is a hand-held vibration calibrator designed for on-site field checks to ISO 8041. Field checks are needed when on site both prior to and following a measurement or series of measurements acting as a quick check of the instrument’s basic calibration and functionality. The small OLED display and three push-buttons make operation of the vibration calibrator very simple. The SV 110 is the perfect solution for calibration checks of hand-arm vibration meters including Svantek’s SV103 and SV106. Following the requirements of ISO 8041, the calibrator’s built-in reference accelerometer measures the cross-axis (transverse) vibrations to detect any interference to the calibration signal. Faults caused by transverse vibrations are indicated by two LEDS on the calibrator’s housing. This unique solution ensures stability of both the calibration level & frequency, independent from the mass of the test object.

The small size of the SV110 makes it very useful for calibration checks of various types of machine vibration accelerometers. Depending on the selected frequency, the user can select the level of the calibration from 1 m/s2 to 10 m/s2. Accelerometers are conveniently attached using either a mounting stud, a mounting disc or a dedicated adapter. The calibrator has built-in rechargeable batteries that will power it for 12 hours of continuous operation.
