FAQ Component

Frequently asked questions

What is a sound level meter?

A sound level meter (SLM) is a hand-held instrument that measures sound pressure levels (SPL) in decibels, responding to sound much like the human ear.

What is a sound level meter used for?

It’s used to measure and manage noise from factories, construction sites, vehicles, concerts, and workplaces to ensure safety and environmental compliance.

What are Class 1 and Class 2 sound level meters?

Class 1 meters are more precise and suited for laboratory and environmental monitoring, while Class 2 meters are used for general-purpose or workplace noise assessments.

How does a sound level meter work?

It uses a microphone to convert sound into an electrical signal, processes it with filters and time settings, and displays the measured sound level in decibels (dB).

What is Leq (Equivalent Continuous Sound Level)?

Leq represents the average sound energy over a period, giving a single value that reflects fluctuating noise levels.

How often should I calibrate a sound level meter?

You should check calibration before and after each measurement session and send it to a certified lab every 12–24 months for verification.

How do I perform a field calibration?

Place the calibrator snugly over the microphone, switch it on (usually 94 dB or 114 dB at 1 kHz), and adjust or verify the reading on the meter.

What standards apply to sound level meters?

SLMs are tested and certified under IEC 61672 standards for accuracy and functionality, with Class 1 and Class 2 performance levels.

What is the measurement range of the SV 977D?

It measures from 16 dBA RMS to 140 dBA Peak, with a wide frequency range from 3 Hz to 20 kHz, extendable up to 40 kHz for ultrasonic applications.

What features make the SV 977D versatile?

The SV 977D includes Bluetooth® communication, 1/1 and 1/3 octave analysis, audio recording, and real-time vibration measurement, all supported by the Supervisor software suite.

How is data stored and accessed?

The device records measurement data on an SD card, which can be analyzed later using PC software for reporting, octave analysis, and vibration evaluation.

What standards does the SV 977D comply with?

It fully complies with IEC 61672-1 Class 1 for sound level meters and ISO 16283, ISO 3382-2, and ISO 10140 for building acoustics, ensuring precision in professional measurements.
