SV 977D User Manual - Appendixes
Table C.1.3. Linear operating ranges for the High measurement range with the Diffuse Field filter (for the
sinusoidal signal and microphone sensitivity 50 mV/Pa)
Linear operating ranges with the SA 22 windscreen
The SA 22 windscreen doesn’t change the linear operating ranges given in tables C.1.4 and C.1.5 (see
Chapter C.1.2).
RMS detector
• Digital “True RMS“ with Peak detection,
• Resolution 0.1 dB
• Range 327.7 dB
• Crest Factor unlimited (for signals in 20 kHz band).
Overload detector
The instrument has the built-in overload detectors. Both A/D converter and input amplifier overload conditions
are detected. The overload in the measurement channel (in its analogue part) and the overload of the
analogue / digital converter are both detected. The “overload” indication appears 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 SPL value is below the lower linear operating range.
Time weighting characteristics (Exponential averaging)
Slow “S“ according to IEC 61672-1:2013 for Class 1, Equivalent Time Constant 1000 ms
Fast “F” according to IEC 61672-1:2013 for Class 1, Equivalent Time Constant 125 ms
Impulse “I” according to IEC 60804:2000 for Class 1, Equivalent Time Constant 35 ms, Hold Time 1500 s
