Fig. 2.5. Side view of the Filter Set Battery drawer which accepts four 1,5 V alkäline cells (IEC type LR6, BATTERY DRAWER: AA size). These are connected in parallel with the batteries in the Sound Level Meter (see section 3.2). This drawer can be replaced by the drawer fitted with rechargeable cells supplied with the Mains Pow- er Supply and Charger ZG 0254 (optional extra).

3. OPERATION 3.1. PRELIMINARY The Type 1625 and the Sound Level Meters Type 2230 or 2233 have'•matching 15-pin push-fit connectors which facilitate direct coupling of the instruments to form one com- pact unit. (See Fig.3.I). To attach the Filter Set to the Sound Level Meter, press the two side-locks and engage the connectors.

T hebatteries contained in the Filter Set are not used to power the Filter Set directly, but to increase the capacity of the Sound Level Meter's power supply and to retain the preset start frequencyand the currentcentrefrequencyof the Filter Set whenit is switchedoff or unplugged from the SoundLevelMeter.Whenusingwith SoundLevelMeterType2230 or 2233 and alkaline batteries are fitted, the battery life is approximately 10 hours.

The Recorder starts the filter scanning. When the "Lin." frequency band is reached the paper stops moving. Do not set PAPER DRIVE "Off". Position the paper so the pen ties 2 mm before the graduation on the paper correspondingto the starting filter centre frequency for 1/1 or 1/3octave analysis in 1/3octave steps.
