The letter following the Type number indicates whether the instrument is an “A” version or a “B” version. For example, the “A” version is shown as “Type 2237 A”. The “A” version is designed to be used with a microphone input – that is, sound measurement.
1.4.3 Serial Numbers If an part in Type 2237 is found to be faulty, the only way to repair it is to send it to Brüel & Kjær headquarters in Nærum. The faulty part will then be dealt with in one of two ways, depending on how the instrument’s serial number is to be handled.
Table 1.1 Field replaceable parts in Type 2237 Special Tools and Equipment To perform the complete checking procedure, troubleshooting, adjustment and up- grade of Type 2237, the following special tools and equipment must be available: Type 1049/51 Sine Generator Type 4231...
From time to time some minor changes may be made to improve the performance and serviceability of Type 2237. All information concerning these changes, or any other changes to the Service manual, will be released in the form of a Service Note.
Introduction Introduction The following Checking Procedure for Type 2237 is a subset of the final factory test. The Checking Procedure verifies that the performance of the Type 2237 conforms to the main specifications as given in the Product Data Sheet. To calibrate the Type 2237 to international standards IEC 651 and 804, the Sound Level Meter Calibra- tion System Type 9600 can be used.
Serial Output 970028/1e Fig.3.1 The fundamental setup for performing the Checking Procedure 3. When you are asked to ’Preset the Type 2237’ in the following procedures, the setup for the Type 2237 must afterwards be: — Time Weighting: F — Display Parameter: SPL and Peak —...
**************** Master Reset **************** The calibration factor is 0.0 dB and the Type 2237 is in a well defined state. 3.3.3 AC Output Adjust the input voltage to give a 120 dB display reading at 1kHz The measured AC Output should be 500 mV ±1 dB (± approx. 55 mV).
‘The reference signal is one that gives a display reading of 110 dB when the range is set to 50–120 and the input signal is 1 kHz Table 3.2 Attenuator linearity 3− 5 BI 5031 –11 Sound Level Meter Type 2237 A+B Service Manual...
The overall check can also be performed with the Multifunction Acoustic Calibrator Type 4226. By using the Type 4226 the frequency response for the microphone can be checked. 3− 6 Sound Level Meter Type 2237 A+B Brüel & Kjær Service Manual...
You should only do the procedures given in this chapter if the instrument fails the checking procedure given in Chapter There is no troubleshooting guidance for Type 2237 since the instrument is an FRP. If you cannot adjust it, it must be replaced using the FRP scheme (see Chapter Mechanical spare parts can be ordered from Brüel &...
This voltage is approx. 0.1 V lower than the actual battery voltage (J1 pin 1) d. When the Type 2237 is On the voltage is approx. 5.0V, an when Off it is 0.0 V. This line controls the On/Off function.
Type 2237 is “dead” when the supply voltage is below 3.0 V. Adjustment Procedure Set up a dismantled Type 2237 according to Fig.3.1. The input signal to Type 2237 from the generator is supplied through the JJ 2614 ½″ Microphone Adaptor to the ZC 0027 preamplifier.

1. Remove the microphone from the preamplifier and mount the JJ 2614 ½" Micro- phone Adaptor. 2. Remount the preamplifier (and the JJ 2614). 3. Switch On and preset the Type 2237. 4. Apply 116.0 dBµVRMS, 1 kHz, to the adaptor. 5. By means of an oscilloscope check that V...
7. Apply 89.4 dBµV at 1 kHz to the input. 8. The display should read 3 dB ± 0.2 dB higher than the SPL reading. If necessary adjust R273 until the reading is correct. 4− 8 Sound Level Meter Type 2237 A+B Brüel & Kjær Service Manual...

Reassembly When you reassemble the Type 2237 the following hints might be useful: Note the guide for item 19 in the Bottom PC/ABS Shell. The “pre-bending” of the Ribbon Cable (flexible PCB) is made so that the cable is fully hidden between the two boards when the boards are mounted correctly.

PEAK signals are fed to the processor, D1. This processor, 80C517A, includes an AD Converter capable of handling up to eight (internally multiplexed) analog input lines. In the Type 2237 only three lines are used (RMS, PEAK and battery voltage sense).
6.2.4 Power Supply The Power Supply is a switch mode supply giving five different voltages (+15, (+15), +5, −5 and −13 V) for the analog part of the Type 2237, and one voltage (+5 V) for the digital part. The voltage (+15) is only used for the reference voltage, REF, made by V4 on the Digital Board.
