• Turn the FILE dial to the left and right to select each individual letter or number you
wish to input as part of an annotation. Push the FILE dial to save each character.
• Rotate the FILE dial and select “Save.” This will save all data points in the listed
record number. The record number shown on the screen increments automatically.
Transfer Records to USB Flash Drive
14. Rotate FILE dial and press to select “Tools.”
15. Rotate FILE dial and press to select “USB Menu.”
• A USB flash drive must be connected to the unit. The USB must be formatted to
FAT32. You can use the 699A07 or a PC to format the flash drive.
16. To copy all data points and records to a USB Flash Drive, rotate FILE dial and press to
select “Copy All Records.”
• This will leave current records on unit memory and also create a copy on the USB.
17. To move all data points and records to USB, rotate FILE dial and press to select “Move
All Records.”
• This will remove current records on unit memory and move onto the USB.
Note: The USB hardware may not always recognize a USB flash drive if it is
plugged into the USB port while the 699A07 is in sleep mode. IMI Sensors
recommends connecting the USB drive while the 699A07 is on and operational.
Powering Off
19. Suggested Best Practice: Before powering the unit OFF, reduce the vibration
amplitude. The 699A07 retains the settings used prior to shutdown when it is
powered back ON. Reducing the amplitude prior to shutdown ensures the sensor
under test will not be jarred when the 699A07 is powered ON.
20. Power the unit OFF by pressing and holding the FREQUENCY dial for
approximately 3 seconds.
• To preserve battery charge, the 699A07 will automatically power off after 20
minutes of inactivity when not plugged in to the charger.
After Testing
21. Suggested Best Practice: Plug the 699A07 into an AC power source when not
in use. This will ensure the batteries are fully charged for your next test and also
help to maximize the lifespan of the batteries.
22. Periodic calibration checks are recommended:
• A dedicated “verification sensor” can be used to check the system readings and
results. By using a dedicated sensor, you can ensure that the system is providing
the same result during each test.
• The 699A07 should be returned to IMI Sensors for regular recalibration or for any
maintenance or repair. The most current factory calibration date or the calibration
due date is displayed on the LCD screen during the 699A07 boot up sequence. The
default due date is set for 12 months after the last factory calibration, but the
calibration interval can be user defined to be anywhere from 1 to 72 months, or set
up to never expire.
Report Generation Workbook
Calibration data can be saved into the 699A07’s internal memory and easily
exported to a personal computer using a USB Flash Drive.
The 699A07 Portable Vibration Calibrator includes a pre-formatted USB Flash Drive
with a Microsoft Excel Report Generation Workbook for the creation of customizable
calibration certificates. The Excel file provides an intuitive interface which allows a
