4.4 Calibration with a handheld control unit

If you prefer, you can inject your own calibration signals into the

system through a handheld control unit. The unit includes a switch
which activates the calibration relay in the seismometer, and 4 mm

banana sockets for an external signal source. As above, the equivalent
input velocity for a sinusoidal calibration signal is given by

v = V / 2 π f R K

where

V is the peak-to-peak voltage of the calibration signal, f is the

signal frequency,

R is the magnitude of the calibration resistor and K is

the feedback coil constant.

R and K are both given on the calibration

sheet supplied with the 3TB.

The calibration resistor is placed in series with the transducer.
