SV 33A USER MANUAL 1. Introduction 1.1. Calibration One of the fundamental questions that are most frequently asked while taking a measurement is whether its result is accurate. Proceeding with a measurement without having a positive answer to this question may result in obtaining data of no practical use and wasting our time.
2. Acoustic calibrator SV 33A 2.1. General description The SV 33A acoustic calibrator is a small, portable one-range Class 1 device (sound source), see Picture 1. Powered by two LR03/AAA batteries, it contains a loudspeaker producing acoustic pressure, reference microphone for monitoring...
The button is used to turn ON and OFF the device. In this case the button pushing has immediate effect. Either when the SV 33A is ON or OFF pressing the button over 10 seconds and releasing it will cause full reset of the system. Normally this function is not necessary.
Full reset of the system 2.2.2. Indicators There are two LED to indicate the state of the SV 33A calibrator. One of them is titled “114 dB” and shows the state of the generated level. After the calibrator is put on the microphone and switched on, acoustic pressure inside the calibrator’s chamber is adjusted to the desired level.
