Description
General.
The
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2212 is a
modified
version
of
the
well-known
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2211
mainly
intended
for
traffic
noise
monitoring.
It
contains
six
identical,
separate
input
amplifiers
and
six
output
amplifiers.
Furthermore
two
"sets"
of
six
microphones
each
(
or
six
vibration
pick-ups)
can
be
successively
switched
to
the
input
amplifiers
by
means
of
a
remotely
controlled
relay
circuit.
It
is
thus
possible
to
quickly
check
12
measuring
positions-and
continuously
monitor
six.
The
input
circuit
of
the
amplifiers
c
ontains
a
transformer
which
allows
con-
nection
to
a
symmetrical
transmi
s
sion
system.
The
input
transformer
has
been
included,
however,
not
only
to
allow
connection
to
a
symmetrical
transmission
system
but
also
to
facilitate
the
remote
control
of
the
calibra-
tion
oscillator
in
a
connected
Outdoor
Microphone
System
Type
4920
over
a
two-wire
system
.
In
the
output
amplifiers
provision
is
made
for
the
insertion
of
filters.
The
Noise
Limit
Indicator
consists
of
the
following
major
parts.

The
Type
2212
contains
six
input
amplifiers
which
are
identical
and
interchangeable.
Each
of
them
contains
a
four-stage
transistor
amplifier
preceded
by
a 60
dB
attenuator.
The
attenuator
can
be
varied
in
10 dB
steps
and
is
intended
to
be
used
in
conjunction
with
the
48 dB
attenuator
in
the
output
amplifier.
The
first
amplifier
stage
is
designed
as
an
emitter
follower
in
order
to
obtain
a
sufficiently
high
input
impedance.
The
input
impedance
is,
for
the
least
sensitive
position
of
the
attenuator,
approximately
1.5 Mohms.
For
the
next
position
it
is
approximately
o.5
Mohms,
and
for
the
remaining
positions
150
kohms.
The
next
two
stages
are
RC-coupled,
while
the
last
stage
contains
two
transistors
in
a
single-ended
push-pull
arrangement.
The
output
signal
is
fed
via
a
relay
to
the
input
of
the
filters

buttons
on

Control
Panel
and
serves
to
break
or
connect
the
input
circuits
to
the

.
See
Fig.
1.1.
To
obtain
a
high
degree
of
stability
and
to
ensure
a
distortion
of
less
than
o.1
%,
a
large
amount
of
negative
feedback
is
introduced
in
the
amplifier.
The
feedback
can
be
altered
with
a
potentio-
meter
to
obtain
fine
adjustment
of
the
sensitivity.
A
second
potentiometer
can
be
switched
into
the
feedback
circuit
by
means
of
a
relay
which
is
controlled
from
the
SENSITIVITY
INCREASE
knob
on
the
control
panel.
This
potentiometer
can
be
set
to
increase
the
sensitivity
by
between
0
and
5 dB,
without
influencing
the
frequency
response
of
the
amplifier.
The
total
amplification
with
increased
sensitivity
is 45 dB.
Filters
and
Output Amplifiers.
Weighting
networks
or
filters
can
be
used
in
conjunction
with
the
Output
Amplifiers.
The
filters
can
be
by-passed
by
a
toggle
switch
on
the
front
plate
of
the
amplifier.
After
filtering,
the
signal
is
fed
to
a 48 dB
attenuator
with
1
dB
steps.
Two
independent
tappings
of
this
attenuator
make
it
possible
to
adjust
the
attenuation
to
two
different
settings,
one
for
each
of
the
two
inputs.
The
pushbutton
switches
on
the
control
panel,
which
are
used
to
select
the
desired
input,
also
select
the
correct
section
of
this
attenuator
(
with
the
aid
of
a
relay),
so
that
INPUT
I
corresponds
to
attenuator
tap
No. 1
and
INPUT
II
with
attenuator
tap
No. 2 (see
Fig.
1.3
and
block
diagram).

The

of
the

is
designed
as
an
emitter

in
order
to
obtain
an
input
impedance
high
enough
to

The

loading
the

is
thus
determined
by
the

and
is
approximately
146

which
gives

are
employed,
two
of
which

Rectifier and Relay Circuit.
Following
the
amplifier
is a
quasi-RMS
rectifier
circuit.
It
provides
full-wave
rectification
and
gives
accurate
RMS
indication
for
sinusoidal
signals
as
well
as
for
white
noise
and
other
signals
with
complex
waveforms,
including
asymmetrical
pulses
with
crest
factors
up
to
3.
By
means
of
a
switch
6
'
two
different
damping
characteristics
can
be
introduced
.
"Standard"
or
"low
damping"
is
meant
for
the
measurement
of
steady
signals
with
frequencies
above
20
Hz
while
"high
damping"
is
meant
for
the
measurement
of
fluctuating
signals,
i.e.
frequencies
below
20
Hz
or
measurements
where
fluctuating
background
noise
would
otherwise
disturb
the
meter
reading.
The
signal
is
now
capable
of
energizing
the
relay
which
makes
the
indicator
lamp
light-up.
This
relay
has
two
stable
positions.
However,
as
even
the
best
relays
do
not
always
operate
on
precisely
the
same
amount
of
current-flow,
another
stage
has
been
added
so
that
the
relay
invariably
switches
over
at
a
certain
input
signal
voltage.
This
stage
has
a
characteristic
as
shown
in
Fig. 1.6,
and
as
seen
the
steep
slope
of
the
curve
provides
a
large
current
increase
for
a
slight
voltage
increase,
thus
making
the
energizing
point
much
more
consistent.
To
obtain
a
stable
working
point
for
this
stage
a
zener-diode
is
introduced,
and
also
a 20
kHz
signal
is
presented
to
give
an
independent
bias
voltage.
This
signal
is
derived
from
a 20
kHz
generator
located
in
the
power
supply
unit
and
thus
common
for
all
the
amplifiers.
This
bias
is
so
adjusted
as
to
make
the
relays
operate
at
an
AC
input
voltage
of
2.24
V.
·
when
none
of
the
INPUT
buttons
on
the
Control
Panel
are
depressed,
the
relays
are
held
in
their
passive
position
by
means
of
a
"
holding
voltage"
of
approximately
12 V DC.
Before

the
rectifier
circuit
is
an

is

The

is

(RMS). A
voltage
of
2.24 Volts

at
this
point

7
Control Panel.
The
control
panel
contains
the
five
pushbuttons
intended
to
be
used
by
the
operator,
as
well
as
the
indicating
lamps
for
each
channel.
The
two
input
selectors
bring
the
proper
input
into
circuit
and
also
keep
the
relays
of
the
output
amplifier
in
the
passive
position
when
not
depressed.
The
SENSITIVITY
INCREASE
button
controls
the
relays
which
influence
the
amount
of
feedback
round
the
input
amplifiers,
thereby
increasing
the
sensitivity.
This
button
only
functions
while
kept
depressed.
The
RELEASE
button
releases
the
other
pushbuttons
and
thus
resets
the
"holding"
voltage
used
to
keep
the
relays
of
the
output
amplifiers
in
the
passive
position.
Furthermore,
the
RELEASE
button
serves
to
check
the
proper
functioning
of
the
output
relays
and
the
indicator
lamps,
as
all
the
lamps
are
lit
up
when
the
switch
is
pressed
down.
The
INPUT
I,
INPUT
II
and
RELEASE
buttons
operate
via
a
relay.
The
two
INPUT
buttons
are
furthermore
delayed
in
operation,
so
that
the
"holding
voltage"
used
to
keep
the
output
relays
in
their
passive
position
is
not
switched
off
till
approximately
1
second
after
the
input
amplifiers
are
switched
in.
It
this
way
the
disturbing
effect
of
transients
are
avoided.
A
green
light
indicates
when
the
instrument
is
operating
and
at
which
input
channel.
Parallel
to
the
RELEASE
button
is a
springloaded
RESET
button
which
serves
to
momentarily
reset
the
output
relays
to
their
passive
positions
without
releasing
the
INPUT
or
SENSITIVITY
INCREASE
buttons.
Its
purpose
is
to
recheck
the
lamp
indication
in
case
of
unwanted
noise,
e.g.
footsteps,
doors
slamming
etc.
Each
of
the
red
lamps
is
permanently
connected
to
a 12 V
AC
source
and
is
grounded
through
its
corresponding
output
relay.
In
this
way
the
lamps
cannot
be
lit
when
no
amplifier
is
inserted.
There
is a
relay
in
parallel
with
the
lamps.
The
relay
contacts
change
over
whenever
anyone
of
the
lamps
light-up.
The
switch
so
obtained
is
connected
to
pin
"T"
and
"U"
of
the
remote
control
plug
and
may
be
used
to
remotely
control
buzzers,
alarm
bells,
or
other
auxiliary
equipment.
Meter Circuit.
The
meter
circuit
of
the
apparatus
serves
mainly
as
an
aid
in
the
proper
setting
of
the
attenuators
and
to
check
amplification
by
means
of
the
built
-
in
reference
voltage.
The
meter
can
be
connected
through
a
switch
to
any
of
the
outputs
of
the
amplifiers
so
as
to
read
the
output
level
before
rectification.
The
rectifier
circuit
of
the
meter
is
identical
to
that
of
the
output
amplifiers,
as
is
the
damping
circuit.
To
provide
aural
or
visual
indication
of
the
signal
that
reaches
the
meter
circuit,
two
test
sockets
are
placed
beneath
the
meter.
These
sockets
are
in
parallel
with
the
meter
circuit,
allowing
headphones
,
oscilloscopes
or
other
instruments
to
be
connected
to
them.
8
Power
Supply.
The
power
supply
is
contained
in
one
unit,
the
Power
Unit
ZG
0001.
It
can
be
operated
from
power
lines
with
AC
voltages
of
100-115-127-150-220
or
240
Volts
and
frequencies
from
50
to
400
Hz.
Electrically
the
power
unit
can
be
divided
into
four
main
circuits:
(a)
the
25 V
supply,
(b)
the
20
kHz
supply
voltage,
(c)
the
reference
supply,
and
(d)
the
supply
for
lamps
and
control
panel
relays.
The
25 V
circuit
provides
25
Volts
negative,
for
use
as
the
collector
voltage
throughout
the
apparatus.
This
supply
is
accurately
controlled
by
a
voltage
regulator
circuit
containing
three
transistors,
ensuring
minimum
ripple
and
high
stability.
The
20
kHz
oscillator
produces
a
supply
voltage
for
the
final
stages
of
the
output
amplifiers.
It
is
designed
in
such
a
way
that
it
is
cut-off
when
a
voltage
of
approximately
12
Volts
is
applied
to
the
base
of
one
of
the
transistors.
By
means
of
the
relay
voltage
this
oscillator
is
cut-off
every
time
the
relays
are
set
to
their
passive
positions,
i.e.
when
none
of
the
INPUT
buttons
on
the
control
panel
are
depressed.
The
reference
voltage
is a 10
mV
signal
of
line
frequency
for
checking
the
amplification.
It
is
kept
constant
by
a
zener
diode
and
is
applied
to
the
input
of

Operation of the Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2212
as
Traffic
Noise Monitor
General.
The
signal
which
is
fed
to
the
input
circuit
of
the
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
22'12,
will
normally
be
delivered
from
a
microphone.
When
using
a
B & K
microphone
cartridge
and
cathode
follower,
it
is
then
necessary
to
employ
a
microphone
power
supply
for
instance
the
Microphone
Power
Supply
Type
2801.
However,
for
field
measurements
(airport
noise,
traffic
noise,
etc.)
it
is
recommended
to
use
the
Outdoor
Microphone
System
Type
4920
instead
of
Type
2801
as
this
equipment
contains
not
only
the
necessary
power
supply,
but
also
a
calibration
oscillator,
a
rain
cover
with
built-in
electro-
static
actuator,
a
microphone
cartridge
with
cathode
follower,
a
windscreen
and
an
amplifier.
The
calibration
oscillator
can
be
switched
in
by
means
of
a
knob
on
the
2212.

Furthermore,
the
output
from
the
amplifier
in
the
4920,
can
be
connected
to
a
cable
and
transmitted
over
a
distance
of
up
to
10
km
before
connection
is
made
to
the
Noise
Limit
Indicator.
To
obtain
the
best
signal
to
noise
ratio
for
transmission
over
long
distance,
it
will
be
necessary
to
adjust
the
amplification
of
the
signal
in
the
Microphone
System
Type
4920,
in
such
a
way,
that
the
output
voltage
from
4920
will
be
about
1
volt
RMS
for
the
highest
sound
pressure level
limit
,
that
has
been
preset
on
the
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2212.
When
using
a
transmission
cable
which
picks
up
a
minimum
of
noise
and
the
measured
sound
pressure
level
is
in
the
range
from
90
dB
to 120 dB,
the
amplification
can
be
adjusted
so
that
the
90 dB
SPL
from
the
electrostatic
actuator
in
the
rain
cover
,
can
be
read
off
directly
on
the
indicating
meter
of
Type
221'2 *).
Before
making
any
adjustment
to
the
Outdoor
Microphone
System
Type
4:920,
the
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2212
must
be
pre-adjusted,
and
it
is
also
necessary
to
determine
the
noise
levels
to
be
tolerated
at
the
various
measuring
places
and
decide
which
kind
of
filters
or
weighting
networks
are
to
be
used
in
the
output
amplifiers.
When
these
have
been
decided
upon
,
the
instrument
can
be
adjusted.
The
adjustment
should
be
made
by
some-
one
who
has
a
fundamental
idea
of
electrical
circuits
or of
noise
measurements
in
general.
It
should
preferably
be
carried
out
in
accordance
with
the
following
procedure.

Connection
between
Noise
Limit
Indicator
Type
2212
and
Outdoor
Microphone
System
Type
4920.
As
the
input
of
Type
2212 is a
symmetrical
transformer
input
with
grounded
midpoint,
it
is
most
convenient
to
have
the
output
of
Type
4920
floating,
as
this
will
avoid
errors
due
to
ground
currents
and
possible
asymmetry.
See

It
is
possible
to
connect
twelve
492'0's
