  • Page 8: Introduction

    “Never before has a noise dosimeter been so accomplished yet so affordable, making your measurements more accurate and reliable than ever before”. To get started quickly with the SV 104, the first part of the manual describes basic noise dosimetry information followed by a guide to setting up the dosimeter and running measurements.

  • Page 9: Sound Pressure

    DRAFT SV 104 USER'S MANUAL_ _______________________________________________ Sound pressure The human ear responds to audible sound pressure levels in the range from 20 μPa (hearing threshold) to 20 Pa (pain threshold), resulting in the enormous scale 1:10,000,000. Since using such a large arithmetic scale is not practical, a logarithmic scale in decibels (dB) was introduced which is also in agreement with physiological and psychological hearing sensations.

  • Page 10: Standards

    DRAFT SV 104 USER'S MANUAL_ _______________________________________________ Standards The effects of high sound exposure on hearing have been studied for many years. As far back in 1954 AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) – Rosenwinkel & Stewart – described a “new device which integrates sound energy over finite time periods.”...

  • Page 11: Applications

    This makes checking for different regulatory bodies’ compliance and ensuring if hearing conservation programs are needed definitely easier than ever before. The SV 104 answers all the important questions such as WHEN? and HOW? did the noise exposure appear? The data logging measurements can be started immediately or they can be pre-programmed in advance so that measurement run can begin and end automatically at a preset start and end time without the need for any onsite supervision.

  • Page 12: Measurement Procedures

    DRAFT SV 104 USER'S MANUAL_ _______________________________________________ Measurement procedures Preferably, when taking measurements, the noise dosimeter should be attached to the employee at the start of a shift and collected at the end of the whole shift. In case a shorter period is sampled then care should be taken to ensure that the result is representative of the full shift exposure.
