Special filters
• Windscreen compensation filter improving the instrument frequency
response in the free acoustic field when windscreen SA22
is mounted on the microphone (see C.3)
RMS detector
• Digital “True RMS“ with Peak detection,
• Resolution 0.1 dB
• Range 327.7 dB
• Crest Factor unlimited (for signals in 8 kHz band).
Overload detector
The instrument has the built-in overload detectors. The overload in the measurement channel (in its analogue
part) and the overload of the analogue / digital converter are both detected. The “overload” indication is when
the input signal amplitude is 0.5 dB above the declared “Peak measurement range”
Underrange detector
The instrument has the built-in under-range detector. The “underrange” indication appears when the Leq
value for the elapsed time or the last second L
XY
value is below the lower linear operating range.
Time weighting characteristics (Exponential averaging)
Slow “S“ according to IEC 61672-1:2013 for Class 2, Equivalent Time Constant 1000 ms
Fast “F” according to IEC 61672-1:2013 for Class 2, Equivalent Time Constant 125 ms
Impulse “I” according to IEC 61672-1:2013 for Class 2, Equivalent Time Constant 35 ms, Hold Time 1500 s
