SVAN 977A User Manual - Appendixes
Note: For the conformance tests with B&K4226 multifrequency calibrator, the Microphone
Compensation must be set to “On”! (path: <Menu> / Measurement / Compensation Filter).
Note: For the conformance of acoustical tests, the Microphone Compensation must be set to
“Free Field” and the Windscreen position must be set to “Off”! (path: <Menu> / Measurement /
Compensation Filter).
If the case of Windscreen testing the Windscreen position must be set to “On”.
Periodical test upper frequency 8 kHz
Linear Operating Ranges
Two measuring ranges are available: “LOW” and "HIGH".
The starting point at which tests of level linearity shall begin is 94.0 dB for the frequencies specifies below.
Table C.1.1. Linear operating range: “LOW” for the sinusoidal signal and microphone sensitivity 35 mV/Pa
Table C.1.2. Linear operating range: „HIGH“ (primary level range) for the sinusoidal signal and
microphone sensitivity 35 mV/Pa
Note: For the signals with the crest factor n > 1.41 upper measuring range of the RMS (LEQ and
SPL) is reduced. The valid upper limit can be calculated according to the below given formula:
, where A is the upper limit for the sinusoidal signal
Example: For the crest factor n = 10 the upper limit is A
10
= 120 dB
