Bruel & Kjaer 2250 : Sound Level Meter Option - BZ 7222 included
 

Conforms with the National and International Standards:

Transducers


Transducers are described in a transducer database with information on Serial Number, Nominal Sensitivity, Polarisation Voltage, Free field Type, CCLD required, Capacitance and additional information. The analogue hardware is setup automatically in accordance with the selected transducer
 

Microphones


For microphones of known types, BZ 7222 is able to correct the frequency response to compensate for free or diffuse sound fields
 

Detectors


Parallel Detectors on every measurement:
A or B-weighted (switchable) broadband detector channel with three exponential time weightings (Fast, Slow, Impulse), one linear averaging detector and one peak detector
C or Z-weighted (switchable) as above for A and B weighted
Overload Detector: Monitors the overload outputs of all the frequency weighted channels
 

Measurements


X = frequency weightings A or B
Y = frequency weightings C or Z
V = frequency weightings A, B, C or Z U = time weightings F or S N= number between 0.1 and 99.9

Measuring Ranges


Dynamic Range: From typical noise floor to max. level for a 1 kHz pure tone signal, A-weighted: 16.6 to 140 dB
Primary Indicator Range: in accordance with IEC 60651, A-weighted 23.5 dB to 123 dB
Linearity Range: In accordance with IEC 60804, A-weighted, 1kHz: 21.4 dB to 140 dB
Linear Operating Range: In accordance with IEC 61672, A-weighted 1 kHz: 24.8 dB to 140 dB
Peak C Range: In accordance with IEC 61672, 29.5 dB to 143 dB
 

Sampling For Statistics


The Statistics can be based on either LXF, LXS or LXeq:
Statistics LXFN1-7 or LXSN1-7 are based on sampling LXF or LXS every 10 ms into 0.2 dB wide classes over 130 dB
Statistics LXN1-7 are based on sampling LXeq every second into 0.2 dB wide classes over 130 dB
Full distribution saved with measurement
 

Measurement Displays


SLM: Measurement data displayed as numbers of various sizes and one quasi-analogue bar
Measurement data are displayed as dB values, housekeeping data as numbers in relevant format
Instantaneous measurement LXF is displayed as a quasi-analogue bar
 

Measurement Control


Manual: Manually controlled single measurement
Automatic: pre-set measurement time from 1 s to 24 hours in 1 s steps
Manual Controls: Reset, Start, Pause, Back-erase, Continue and Store the measurement manually
 

Back-erase


The last 5 s of data can be erased without resetting the measurement
 

Measurement Status


On Screen: Information such as overload and running/paused are displayed on screen as icons
Traffic Lights: Red, yellow and green LEDs show measurement status and instantaneous overload as follows:
Yellow LED flash every 5 s = stopped, ready to measure
Green LED flashing slowly = awaiting calibration signal
Green LED on constantly = measuring
Yellow LED flashing slowly = paused, measurement not stored
Red LED flashing quickly = intermittent overload, calibration failed
 

Calibration


Initial calibration is stored for comparison with later calibrations
Acoustic: Using Sound Level Calibrator Type 4231 or custom calibrator. The calibration process automatically detects the calibration level when Sound Level Calibrator Type 4231 is used
Electrical: Uses internally generated electrical signal combined with a typed-in value of microphone sensitivity
Calibration History: up to 100 of the last calibrations made are listed, the last 20 calibrations can be viewed on the instrument
 

Signal Monitoring


The input signal can be monitored using an earphone/headphones connected to the headphone socket, or it can be fed to the output socket
Output Signal: Input conditioned; A, B, C or Z-weighted.
Gain Adjustment: -60 dB to 60 dB
LXF output (every ms) as a DC voltage between 0 V and 4 V
DC output for calibration purposes: 0 dB ~ 0 V and 200 dB ~ 4 V.
Headphone Signal: Input signal can be monitored using this socket with headphones/earphones. Gain Adjustment: -60 dB to 60 dB
 

Voice Annotations


Voice annotations can be attached to measurements so that verbal comments can be stored together with the measurement
Playback: Playback of voice annotations can be listened to using an earphone/headphones connected to the headphone socket. Gain Adjustment: -60 dB to 60 dB
 

Text Annotations


Text annotations can be attached to measurements so that written comments can be stored with the measurement
 

Data Management


Project Template: Defines the display and measurement setups
Project: Measurement data stored with the Project Template
Job: Projects are organised in Jobs Explorer facilities for easy management of data (copy, cut, paste, delete, rename, view data, open project, create job, set default project name)
