INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
This quick start guide will help you to get started with
SV102 instrument. The SV 102 device is a dual cannel
dosimeter which enables performing binaural dose
measurements and the 1/1 octave analysis simultaneously.
SV102 provides Type 2 accuracy. The SV 102 dosimeter
is offered with the dedicated SV 25D ceramic microphones
with ½” housing. It makes the calibration very easy
by direct usage of commonly available acoustic calibrators.
The device may be carried along in a pocket or on the belt
during measurement.

This message appears when the calibrator factor stored
in TEDS memory of microphone doesn’t match calibrator
factor in the instrument’s MEMORY. It means that
the microphone hasn’t been calibrated in the channel it is
connected to or it hasn’t been used with this instrument.
The typical situation when it happens is the exchanging of
the connections of the left and right microphone.
If the TEDS or MEMORY factor is correct, select it and
press .
If none of the value is correct, select any of them and next
calibrate the microphone, using CALIBRATION MENU
(MENU > CALIBRATION > BY MEASUREMENT) to obtain
correct factor before starting real measurements.

If LOGGER is switched on, go to MENU > INPUT > LEFT
(RIGHT) CHANNEL > PROFILE 1 (2, 3) and select results
to be logged: PEAK, MAX, MIN or/and RMS.
Go to MENU ( + ) > INPUT > PROFILE 1 (2, 3) and
select detector time constant (FAST/SLOW/IMPULSE).
Availability of filter selection (A/C/Z) depends on chosen
MEASUREMENT FUNCTION (for dosimeter modes filter
settings in profiles are fixed; for sound modes the setting
of detector time constant, filter and logged results are
possible and they are accessible in MENU > INPUT >
LEFT (RIGHT) CHANNEL > PROFILE 1 (2, 3) window).
All 3 profiles are used simultaneously during performed
measurements.

Press + push-buttons till you see main view.
If the logger function is used, make sure you have enough
free memory to save measurement results.
Press + to Start and to Stop a measurement.
During the measurement you cannot change the settings.
The set of results you may obtain in dosimeter mode is as
follows: DOSE (%), D_8h (%), LEPd (dB), LAV (dB),
LEQ (dB), PEAK (dB), MAX (dB), E (Pa

h), SEL (dB),
E_8h (Pa

RMS (dB) (for SLM the following results are available SPL,
LEQ, SEL, Lden, LEPd, Ltm3, Ltm5, Lxx, OVL, PEAK,
MAX, MIN).
You can see main measurement results by pressing right
and left push-buttons. You can switch between
views of available measurement results (measurement
function and mode dependently: main results from left
channel, main results from right channel, 3-profiles view
from left channel, 3-profiles view from right channel,
dosimeter results, statistics for left channel, statistics for
right channel, 1/1 OCTAVE spectrum for left and for right
channel) by pressing + (UP) or + (DOWN)
push-buttons.
In 3-profiles view, active profile is changed after
pressing . Display options in simplified version
