SV 200 USER MANUAL 6
1 INTRODUCTION
The SV 200 is a unique Noise Monitoring Terminal (NMT) which includes in single
portable housing: outdoor microphone, sound level meter and 1/1 & 1/3 octave
analyzer, advanced logger integrating controller and communication systems.
Using the most recent and State of the Art technological achievements, the
design of high integration outdoor system became available. In practice this
means that system can be easily transported and installed by one person in field.
The instrument is an ideal choice for unattended permanent and short period
environmental noise measurements together with weather conditions monitoring.
Instrument can be used for community and airport noise monitoring in the same
time.
The architecture of the system allow easy communication, data download and
configuration of the system using PC or any mobile device which has network
(internet) access to SV 200 and web browser.
The SV 200 meets Class 1 requirements of IEC 61672:2013 standard. NMT
provides broad band results with all required weighting filters, 1/1 octave & 1/3
octave spectra with complete statistical analysis.
Instrument can be easily calibrated in field using acoustic calibrator. Built-in
electrostatic actuator can be activated remotely or periodically in automated
mode for self-testing.
The SV 200 enables great logging capability which includes time history of broad
band results and spectra with two selectable logging steps down to 2 milliseconds
like also audio records on trigger. Data are stored on microSD card and can be
transferred over the internet on demand or in automatic mode to FTP server or
any PC.
SvanPC++ and SvanPC++_RC software provides advanced modes of
communication, files download, data visualization and measurement results
exporting. SvanPC++_EM environmental monitoring software is dedicated for
measurement data management, advanced data processing, analysis,
visualization and reporting.
Thanks to robust casing, protection against overheating & humidity condensation,
built-in rechargeable battery, this instrument is excellent for permanent
installation in all environmental conditions.

13. Plug the SC258 cable connector into the socket in the cable box on the bottom of the SV205B
unit (the socket signed „External Interface” is protected with a cap, which must be removed).
2.5 Power supply installation
The power supply may be installed in the following two ways:
1. On a wall, for example, using 4 anchors.
2. On a mast, using 2 band clips.
The outdoor installation requires the power supply to be installed vertically, with the protective plate
facing up. The power supply must be installed on below the SV 200 device. The distance should be as
great as possible.
Notice: Choosing the assembling place one should take into account that the cable
connecting the power supply to the device is 2,5 meters long and must not be extended.
2.6 Assembling of the meteorological beam (optional) on the mast
The meteorological beam should be installed on the mast, at least 2 m above the ground. The distance
from the beam to the SV 200 device should be as great as possible, but it is limited to the length of the
SC258 cable. There must not be any cables or wires between the clamping ring of the meteorological
beam and the mast.
After fixing the fastening place:
1. Unscrew two knobs which hold the beam fastening clamp of the meteorological beam.
2. Place the beam at the fixed place.
3. Install the beam to the mast using beam fastening clamp and two knobs.

4. To align the wind-meter loosen two tuning bolts with the Allen key 1,5 mm and rotate the
wind-meter until the red north pointer indicates the north.
Notice: You can determine the north direction using either mobile app or real-life
compass.
5. Fasten the tuning bolts again.
6. Alternatively, loosen meteo beam fastening clamp and rotate the beam until the triangle-
shaped mark indicates north. Remember to tighten the knobs afterwards!
2.7 Mounting the SV 200
Coaxial mounting of the device on the mast Φ45 mm ended with a bolt M14 is recommended.
Notice: The M14/3/8” adapter is intended for presentation mounting on photographic and
light tripods. It should not be used for unattended environmental monitoring.
Mounting on M14 thread
