This chapter describes procedures for measuring building acoustic properties such as airborne and impact noise insulation. Chapter 2 covers Brüel & Kjær solutions for building acoustic measurements. The rest of the manual covers the operation and maintenance of Tapping Machine Type 3207 and its specifications.
Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual 1.2.2 Measuring Impact Sound Insulation For impact sound insulation, a different sound source has to be used, but otherwise the procedure is similar to that for airborne sound. A standardised impact sound generator (tapping machine) is used. This consists of hammers of stand- ardised weight that drop from a standardised height at a standardised repetition rate.
CHAPTER 1 Introduction Fig. 1.3 Single-number result (LnTw) is calculated by Area < 32 dB shifting the reference curve LnTw upwards in 1 dB steps until the measured spectrum exceeds the reference curve by less than (but as close as possible 500 Hz to) a sum of 32 dB.
Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual Construction of Tapping Machine Type 3207 Tapping Machine Type 3207 is a standard tapping noise generator. It can be used for tapping noise measurements to national and international standards. The unit is available with an optional mobile power source (battery pack) and a wireless remote control.
PC in the field. In addition, the calculation of sound insulation curves and indexes can be done on the spot. Fig. 2.1 2260-D Investigator with Tapping Machine Type 3207 The following additional components complete the system: • OmniPower Sound Source Type 4296 •...

CHAPTER 2 A Complete Measurement System Each partition has a set of (L1), L2, B2 and T2 that consist of one or more positions of each. For each partition the sound insulation can be calculated on the basis of the average of all positions of (L1), L2, B2 and T2.
Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual To check the quality of decays, it is possible, for each position, to look at the decay in each frequency band (see Fig. 2.5). Fig. 2.5 Decay at 500 Hz for a typical measurement 2.2.4...
CHAPTER 2 A Complete Measurement System Generally the sound insulation is calculated (for each partition) from the average of all the positions of L1, L2, B2 and T2. It is possible to exclude positions from the average to see what effect certain positions have on the result.

Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual Fig. 3.2 Safety ties for transportation If the battery option is installed, the battery (6) must have its negative terminal reconnected. Do this by plugging the blue cable labelled −B to the negative terminal (7).
CHAPTER 3 User Guide for the Tapping Machine Initial Start-up Clean the hammers’ impact surfaces (9) with a dry cloth or tissue paper to remove any oil so as to avoid staining or dirtying the floor. In extreme cases, use paraffin to clean the impact surfaces. Fig.
Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual Fig. 3.6 The Control Panel Measuring The tapping machine is now ready to be used and can be switched on directly (21) (Fig. 3.6) (switch position II “On”) or via the optional remote control (23) (Fig. 3.7). The remote control needs to be connected to the remote control socket (22) (Fig.
CHAPTER 3 User Guide for the Tapping Machine Fig. 3.7 The tapping machine and its accessories: Mains adaptor (17), Battery kit (19) and Remote control (23) For tapping machines with battery option, you should guard against accidentally switching the machine on during transportation.

Chapter 5 Routine Maintenance General The tapping machine does not require any special maintenance except for the periodic cleaning and oiling of the hammers. This is not only necessary to prevent corrosion but also to keep the friction of the hammers low to guarantee the right speed of the hammers at impact. The interval between cleaning and oiling of the hammers should not exceed 20 hours of operation.
Tapping Machine Type 3207 – User Manual Tapping Machine Equipped with Battery The battery is basically maintenance free. However, if the tapping machine is not used for extended periods of time, you need to recharge the battery for a day every three months using the mains adaptor.
