1.1 Activation of the frequency analysis in octaves module for the
DC112d
NOTE
: Once a module has been activated, it cannot be deactivated.
To activate the frequency analysis in octaves module for the DC112d (EF112):
• Insert the CD that you have received into the CD-ROM unit. The ‘EF112 module Activator’
activation programme will run automatically. If this does not happen, run the SETUP.EXE
file of the CD-ROM unit.
• Follow the steps indicated.
1.2 Main Characteristics of the DC112d/DC112
• The DC112 carries out a frequency analysis in octave bands
(63 Hz to 8 kHz) to determine
exposure to noise, taking into account the reduction attained by the individual hearing
protectors used by the workers.
• The projection of parameters
makes it possible to evaluate the exposure to noise for
measurement times less than the exposure time.
• The large memory (64 MB)
of the DC112d/DC112 enables you to save the time history of
all the functions measured for long periods of time. The capacity is 1 month, saving
functions every second, irrespective of the number of measurements being saved.
• The DC112d/DC112 has a USB port
to download data to a PC at high speed. While the
DC112d/DC112 is connected to the USB port of a PC it does not need batteries as it is
powered by the USB port of the PC.
• The keypad
of the DC112d/DC112 can be blocked to avoid accidental interventions. While
the keypad is blocked, the values of the functions measured do not appear on the screen
to avoid the deliberate generation of noise to distort the measurements.
• The DC112d/DC112 adapts to any work shift
. As it allows you to stop a recording in
progress (pause), switch off
the instrument, switch it back on again later, and restart the
measurement (recording), making all the information available in just one measurement.
Ideal for measuring split shifts, and evaluating weekly levels.
• The graphic screen
is very practical for the evaluation of a noise event: its time history,
spectral content
or its variability.
• The DC112d/DC112 has a register
of the date of the last sensitivity adjustment carried out;
in this way, any unauthorised manipulation is registered.
• The battery status
indicator that appears on the screen of the DC112d/DC112 shows the
current state of the battery at all times.
• The DC112d/DC112 screen lights up at the touch of a button, meaning that work can be
carried out in atmospheres of poor lighting.
• The DC112d/DC112 supports multiple languages
.
• The DC112d/DC112 includes the Capture Studio
software with which it can be
programmed
and measurements can be downloaded. The software enables you to work
with data in electronic format, export
it to other programmes, and display it in numerical
and graphic
format, in order to create your own reports.
• The DC112d/DC112 microphone
incorporates a clip to attach it to the worker’s lapel so
that they can carry out their working activities naturally.
• The DC112d/DC112 is a personal pocket-sized instrument. Its reduced weight and
robustness
make it the ideal instrument for the evaluation of noise at work for those
workers whose work requires them to move about the workplace.
