MODEL PH-35 PEAK-HOLD MODULE
and MODEL 215-35 PEAK-HOLD METER
GENERAl, I)ESCItlPTION
The Pll-35 Peak-Ilald Module is zm attach-
ment to the 215 Sound Level Meter (hecoming
the Model 215-35 I'eak-Iiold Meter) for the mea-
surement of peak sound levels. It is connected to
the 215 in the same manner ns tile OH-d5 Octave
Band Filter. The PII-35 has three nlodes or opl_ra-
tion: FAST liESPONSE peak.hold, IEC lhI-
PULSI_ hokl, or IMPACT peak-hold, sele(:tahle I)y
