Introduction
The sound level calibrator PeakTech® 8010 meets the requirements of EN 60942: 2003 Class 2, which is used to check the accuracy of sound level meters.
A defined sound level signal with a sound level of 94 dB (decibels) or 114 dB at a sound frequency of 1000Hz can be generated.
It can insert sound level meters, which are equipped with a microphone with a diameter of ½ “(12.7mm) into the calibration port of the calibrator.
The specified accuracies are given at an atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa, an ambient temperature of 23 °C and a humidity of 65% RH.
Front and Panel Description
- Calibration Port for microphones
- Selection-Switch OFF / 94 dB / 114 dB
- Battery Compartment
Measurement Operation
- Insert the microphone of your sound level meter in the calibration port of the PeakTech 8010. Make sure that the microphone is fully inserted into the calibration port.
- Select the required sound level for testing (94 or 114dB).
- Now read the measured value on the display of your sound level meter from.
- If the measured value does not match with the calibration signal, you can readjust the sound level meter. For this purpose refer to the manual of your sound level meter or ask your dealer for it.
- After every measurement with the sound level calibrator, it should always be turned off, by choosing the “OFF” position of the selector switch.
