Introduction - Kimo DB 200 User Manual

DB200 sound level meter is an acoustic measurement instrument with main features of a conventional and integrating-averaging
The
sound level meter.
With its memory, DB200 sound level meter stores measurement datasets. Then they are transferred to a computer and processed
through LDB200 software.
According to international standards, sound level meter calculates and displays on its graphical backlight LCD-screen values used for a
fast and complete study of the noise environment.
To simplify and make nice its use, 5 measurement modes have been preselected :
Mode 1 : Conventional sound level meter (See p.10)
•
Mode 2 : Conventional sound level meter with storage (See p. 11)
•
Mode 3 : Conventional and integrating-averaging sound level meter (See p. 13)
•
Mode 4 : Integrating-averaging sound level meter with storage (See p. 15)
•
Mode 5 : Sound level meter « calculator » of two sound sources (See p 17)
•
In the different modes, in addition to measured values, the sound level meter can display :
results for a better definition of the acoustic environment :
•
Maximum and minimum values, peak values, statistics distribution of measured levels
Indications required for the proper validation of the measurement :
•
Presence and percentage of overload input stages, duration of the measurement
other information :
•
Battery autonomy, remaining measuring capacity
The sound level meter also communicates with an automaton through I / O plugs :
0-10 V DC analog output
•
Control bit activated as per pre-programmed threshold
•
Launching and stop of measurement by the automaton
•
