    When using 1s interval setting – don’t use the threshold to trig recordings. • When using threshold on the Leq channel – don’t setup shorter interval time than 5 minutes. • Contact Sigicom support if you need to violate any of these limitations. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...
  • Page 9: General Description

    The Sensor Cable supplies the S51 Sound Level Meter with both electrical power and all necessary communication. To present data correctly, use the latest firmware in the INFRA Datalogger (1.15.1-1.15.1 or later). A Sound Level Meter connected with INFRA Datalogger in a minimal configuration.

    S51 Sound Level Meter handles two time constants: • 0.125 seconds for time weighting F (FAST) • 1 second for time weighting S (SLOW) • No time weighting (PEAK) One of the time weightings can be selected at a time. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...

    One of the level ranges can be selected at a time. 3.5 Display devices S51 Sound Level Meter shall be connected to the INFRA Field Monitoring System which has several capabilities of displaying the measured signals. The resolution is 0.1 dB. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...
  • Page 13: Interval Files

    In order to enable long cables and low power of the communication, the transfer capabilities between S51 and the Datalogger are rather slow. It transfers approx. 0.15 s of S51-data per second or 0.4 s of vibration sensor data per second. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...
  • Page 14 • If the recording length is set short, the transient memory will be splitted into two or more transient files. This enables that more than one transient file may be recorded before the memory becomes full. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...

    This short distance implies that the measured sound pressure level (of the lower frequencies) will be 6dB higher compared to a situation See section 8 Accessories. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...

    Example: noise level = 20 dB, sound level = 23 dB  measured level = 24.8 dB Influence by the self-generated noise level, as function of the difference between the sound level and the noise level. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...

    Use the included windscreen to prevent undesirable wind noise to be added to the measured signals. • The sensor cables supplied by Sigicom are designed to work properly with the system. Please don’t use other types of cables.
  • Page 25: Post-Processing Of Data

    Post-processing can be done in the web application InfraNet. • Data is sent from the Datalogger to an Internet accessible database server where each Infra customer has its own database instance. • See further in documentation of the InfraNet application. Copyright ©Sigicom AB 2018...
