It is useful before a series of measurements and during periodic instrument checks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which acoustic signals does the calibrator emit?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe calibrator emits two selectable signals: 94 dB and 114 dB, both at a frequency of 1000 Hz. The selected value depends on the verification or calibration procedure specified for the sound level meter in use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the calibrator compatible with all sound level meters?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe calibrator can be used with sound level meters fitted with a compatible microphone. The supplied adapter allows use with \u00bd\u201d and 1\u201d microphones; before use, it is nevertheless advisable to verify that the sound level meter provides for calibration using an external acoustic signal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How is a sound level meter calibrator used?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sound level meter microphone is inserted into the dedicated calibrator cavity, ensuring that the coupling is stable. After selecting the required acoustic signal, the procedure specified by the sound level meter for verification or calibration is carried out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is it useful to verify a sound level meter with the calibrator?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is useful to carry out a check before a measurement session, especially when the sound level meter is regularly used for internal checks, comparisons between different areas or inspections on machinery and systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can altitude affect the signal emitted by the calibrator?<\/strong><br \/>\nAt high altitudes, the emitted sound level may decrease slightly compared with the nominal value. When the calibrator is used at altitude, the correction instructions specified for the operating conditions should be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a calibration report available for the calibrator?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, a calibration report is available on request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sound level meter calibrator is an instrument used to periodically verify the response of a sound level meter and, where provided for by the instrument\u2019s procedure, to adjust it using a known acoustic signal.
