Artificial Ear In Connection With The Precision Sound Level Meter - BRUEL & KJAER 4152 Instructions And Applications

Level Recorder, the deflection of the pen is adjusted to the 40 dB line of
the recording paper.
Turn the frequency scale pointer of the Oscillator to 20 Hz, that is to a
position corresponding to the position of the recorder stylus on the pre-
calibrated recording paper, and set AUTOMATIC SCANNING switch to "On".
Now the recording can be started by pressing down the SINGLE CHART·
CONT. RECORD. pushbutton for a short while and then release it, and the
frequency characteristic will be recorded automatically on the paper strip.
Normally earphones are measured under the conditions described above
which are constant voltage conditions. However, by connecting a resistor
in series with the earphone and using the voltage drop across this resistor
to control the compressor circuit of the 1022 constant current conditions can
be obtained for the test.
Artificial Ear in Connection with the Precision Souud Level Meter.
As amplifier and indicating meter it is possible to use the Precision Sound
Level Meter Type 2200. The Artificial Ear and 2203 make a very handy
combination for audiometer control, and the measuring set up must be
adjusted in the following way : Assemble the Artificial E ar as described under
"Operation of the Artificial Ear" page 10 and use the coupler suited for the
earphone. Feed the signal to the earphone, for example from an audiometer
Fig. 2.3, or another generator. Connect the Artificial Ear to the Sound Level

Meter. See Fig. 2.4. Remove one of the rubber feet from the Artificial Ear
and screw it under the Sound Level Meter (see Fig. 1.3b). Adjust the Sound
Level Meter as follows (Fig. 2.5):
1. Pull out knob 1 and turn it to position "Batt".
The meter pointer should now deflect to within the red area marked
BATTERY indicating that the batteries are alive. If it does not, replace
the batteries.
2. Turn knob to "Lin".
3. Turn knob 2 fully anti clockwise.
