(3) Check the sensor setting.
Click here for details. What to do when a loop check error occurs (3)

Reason:

(1) The sensitivity of the sensor is wrong.

(2) The height of the vibration table is off-centre.

(3) Resonance between the vibration table and the shaker itself.

Solution:

(1) Check the sensitivity of the sensor.

(2) Check if the vibration table is in the middle when the power is turned on.

(3) <When it occurs during SINE test>
If it occurs at 10 Hz or lower, lock the body suspension.
However, use of the shaker with the body suspension locked will place a heavy load on the shaker and accelerate deterioration.

If the test continues beyond 10 Hz in a sweep test, press Pause when the frequency exceeds 10 Hz, unlock the body suspension with the shaker stopped, and resume the test.
Locking the body suspension during testing at frequencies above 10 Hz may cause the vibration to be transmitted significantly to the ground and in some cases may cause the shaker itself to move, resulting in a serious accident.

<If this occurs during RANDOM testing＞
Lock the body suspension.
However, there is a possibility that the shaker itself may start to move, so increase the vibration level while observing the situation.
Locking the body suspension will place a heavy load on the shaker and accelerate deterioration.

Reason:

(1) The emergency stop button is being pressed.

(2) Poor insulation of the excitation coil

(3) Insulation failure of blower motor

(4) Insulation failure of transformer

Solution:

(1) Check that all emergency stop buttons are not pressed.

Reason: protection circuit in the refrigeration unit has been activated.

Solution: switch the appliance back on.

If the above does not improve the situation

Check the error code displayed on the refrigeration unit.

Reason: increased R2 refrigeration discharge pressure

Solution: check the high pressure pressure of the R1 refrigeration unit in operation.

【Water cooling】
The adjusted value is 1.5 MPa.
If the pressure exceeds 1.5 MPa, clean the strainer, check the operation of the cooling tower and secure the water volume.

【Air cooling】
The adjusted value is 1.5 MPa. Compared to water cooling, it is more susceptible to outside temperatures.
If the high pressure always exceeds 2.0 MPa, use an air conditioner and keep the room temperature at around 20°C.
Alternatively, diffuse the exhaust heat from the refrigeration unit with a fan, or cool the R2 refrigeration unit with a spot cooler, etc.

If the above does not improve the situation

Spend the night with the unit ready for operation and check the high and low pressure of the R2 refrigeration unit.
If there is a significant change from the balance pressure attached to the unit, there is a possibility of refrigerant leakage.
(This is not a perfect match as it is affected by the ambient temperature.）

It is the power spectral density (m/s²)²/Hz.

Calculation formula:

Substitute Hz=1/s for power spectral density (m/s²)²/Hz

(m/s²)²/Hz

= (m²/s⁴)/Hz

Substituting Hz=1/s

= (m²/s⁴)/(1/s)

=m²/s³
