GENERAL
The Noisemeter is an ultra-sensitive electronic
voltmeter
having a
maximum
sensitivity
of
1O#V fullscale
(:lO
pV,
tor
the
VT
-125)
Its
wide
frequency range covers
from
10
Hz
to
500
kHz (1
mV
~
300V)
and the five types
of
weighting
are
selectable. In addition, DIN or
CCI
R quasi-peak or average
detection
with
RMS
display
is
selectable. making possible
S/N
and noise measurements in accordance
with
JIS-A.
DIN NOISE, DIN AUDIO.
CCIR
and
CCIR/ARM
standards
The
units
are also provided
with
an overload indicator and a
10
dB range relative reference adjustment. AC and DC
out-
puts are provided and remote control
of
range
switching
is
available
to
facilitate
use on
the
production line.

PRECAUTIONS
1. To assure accurate
measurements
allow
a five
minute
warming
up period before actual
measurements
are
begin.
Note
that
switching
between
1V and
300
mV
and
between
1
mV
and
300
11V
and
10
11V
upon
power-
ing the
unit
up
may result in the
deflection
of
the meter.
2. To preserve the high
sensitivity
of
this
unit, be sure
to
use either
the
input
signal cable
provided
or
another
low
capacitance shielded cable. Use
of
stngle
conductors
or
other
unshielded cables
or
high
impedance
s1gnal
sources can result in noise being
introduced
into the
measurement
circuit.

Be
sure
to
take care
not
to
exceed
the
maximum
allowable
input
levels:

should
never be placed

When
this

is
used in a
location
where
the

of
a level
higher
than
the

performance
may
