“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 SV 104BIS, the first part of the manual describes basic noise dosimetry information followed by a guide to setting up the dosimeter and running measurements.
SV 104BIS User Manual OUND 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 1:1,000,000. 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.
One of the most desirable SV 104BIS feature is the unique data logging function that stores significant number of noise parameters at regular intervals and superimposed random vibration shock or audio events during...
This makes checking for different regulatory bodies’ compliance and ensuring if hearing conservation programs are needed definitely easier than ever before. SV 104BIS 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 pre-set start and end time without the need for any onsite supervision.

SV 104BIS User Manual INDSCREEN During use, it is strongly recommended that SV 104BIS is fitted with the supplied SA 122BIS antistatic windscreen. To calibrate the dosimeter, it is necessary to remove the windscreen to gain access to the microphone. It is not necessary to remove the windscreen to record the voice note comments.
Unless specified by local legislation, personal noise dosimeters should always be mounted on the shoulder, circa 10 cm from the most exposed ear, with the microphone approximately a few cm above the shoulder. SV 104BIS shape and microphone height ensures proper instrument position, see figure below. Figure 3-6...
MEASURMENT TIME during measurement run. Figure 3-7 SV 104BIS display icons description Overload detector The instrument has the built-in overload detectors. Both A/D converter and input amplifier overload conditions are detected. The overload in the measurement channel (in its analogue part) and the overload of the analogue / digital converter are both detected.
Note: To save power consumption and extend battery life SV 104BIS will automatically switch off the display after 30 seconds if no button on the keypad is pressed. The LED indicator will still inform the user about the current state of operation and any possible alarm conditions.

SV 104BIS User Manual The results of 1/1-octave analysis (so-called spectrum) can be examined by the user on a display in the Spectrum VIEW presentation mode. 1/1-octave spectra for all 9 centre frequencies of pass-band filters together with the 3 TOTAL overall values measured with the user selected frequency weighting filters are presented in the Spectrum mode, if enabled in the configuration setup.
Page 30
SV 104BIS User Manual The instrument can also operate as a real time 1/3-octave band analyser (RTA). In addition, and if enabled, 1/3-octave analysis is performed in parallel with the dosimeter operations. All 1/3-octave digital pass-band filters (with 28 centre frequencies from 10 kHz down to 20 Hz; in base 10 system) are working in real-time with the broadband frequency weighting filters (Z, A or C) and the linear LEQ detector.

SV 104BIS HARGING SV 104BIS can be charged only with the use of docking station for a single unit (1-bay docking station SB 104B-1) or for five units (5-bays docking station SB 104B-5). Both docking stations are equipped with the USB Type B connector and can be connected with a PC for data transfer with the SC 16 cable.

ALIBRATION The SV 104BIS dosimeter is offered with the dedicated ST 104B MEMS microphone with ½” housing. The instrument is factory calibrated with the supplied microphone for the standard environmental conditions. Because the microphone sensitivity is a function of the temperature, ambient pressure and humidity, the absolute calibration of the measurement channel should be performed locally.
