    Preparing calibration Place the left telephone on the artificial ear and ensure it fits tight. This can be done by selecting 125 Hz, and then position the telephone to get the biggest readout on the calibration equipment. Air conductor calibration By means of the 11 calibration sliders, calibrate the sound pressure for the 11 frequencies to the level set in the...
  • Page 6: Free Field Calibration For Sm450-Ff

    Free field calibration for SM450-FF The SM450-FF has a free field output, so you are able to connect active speakers or an amplifier to provide passive speakers. The calibration is needed to compensate for the speaker's and test room's nonlinear frequency response. Before doing the free field calibration in the software, the active speakers or the amplifier gain/volume must be on a sensible level.

    7 Use of the program with TSM400, TSM500, T830 & T840 Basic operation of the program: Start the program and connect the tympanometer to the USB port. The program will start at probe tone 226 Hz, 100 dB calibration level, and the tone output will be turned on. The available buttons for tympanometer will appear on the screen.
  • Page 10: Calibration Of Probe Tone

    Calibration of probe tone To calibrate the probe tone, an artificial ear with a 2cc coupler is required. Place the probe in a 2cc coupler. Adjust the sliders so all frequencies from 226 Hz to 4 kHz, reach 100 dB SPL. According to IEC 60318-5 ID: 993 / ver.
  • Page 11: Pressure Calibration

    Pressure calibration To calibrate the pressure sensor, a pressure reference (manometer) must be used to determine the absolute pressure, when calibrating. The manometer must be able to measure at least -500 daPa to +500 daPa with an accuracy of ±0.5%. Follow the guide in the calibration software. 1.

    Contralateral calibration Preparing calibration: Place the contra telephone on the artificial ear and ensure it fits tight. This can be done by selecting 500 Hz, and then position the telephone to get the biggest readout on the calibration equipment. By means of the five calibration sliders, calibrate the sound pressure for the five frequencies to the level set in the Calibration Level box.

This can be done by selecting 125 Hz, and then position the telephone to get the biggest readout on the calibration equipment. Air conductor calibration (only TSM500) By means of the 11 calibration sliders, calibrate the sound pressure for the 11 frequencies to the level set in the Calibration Level box.
  • Page 16: Hearing Level Offsets

    8 Hearing level offsets The calibration software currently calibrates to RETSPL values according to IEC 60645-1:2012 or ANSI S3.6-2010. To change between IEC and ANSI values, open the Settings menu and change in the General tab. Click on the ISO button to see the table, if you need <!--RetSPL values 0.0 to 200.0-->...

  • Page 18: Spl Or Hl Calibration Mode

    9 SPL or HL calibration mode The software is set to SPL mode, by default. Open the Settings menu to change the calibration mode between HL and SPL. In SPL mode, all corrections and RETSPL values are included automatically, i.e. 80 SPL in the calibration software results in a read out of 80 SPL on the level meter, assuming microphone and mastoid corrections are entered in the software correctly.
