1 SD-200 Overview

SD-200 Overview

The SD-200 is intended to provide measurements of sound pressure levels in air.

With five easy-to-use keys, the keypad is used for powering on/off, viewing and/or

running measurements, navigating, and setting parameters. (See Table 1-2 for

more information.)

Note: for typical sound measurements when determining hearing protection,

the SD-200 may be set to “Aweighting”with “Slow”response.

2Powering on

Powering on

Press key until the LCD turns on. (Warm-up time is about 5 seconds.)

When powered on, a self-test screen flashes with country code and revision level (e.g. U1.0)

and exchange rate (e.g.3 LEQ/5 LAVG). Then a measurement screen appears.

Viewing Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

The measurement screen will display the current Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in dB or the

previously viewed screen prior to powering off.

Note: no screen indicator appears for SPL.

Figure 1-2: Powered on with SPL screen displayed

Powering off

Once powered off, the SD-200 will save the instrument’s settings and measurements which

are displayed again when powered back on. The SD-200 will not power off while in run mode.

1. Press and hold key until OFF disappears. Releasing within two seconds will keep

the instrument powered on.

Note: while in run, the instrument will not power off until stop is pressed. If the

instrument powers off due to low battery, it will store the last viewed measurements.

(See “Resetting” for more information.)

Overview of operation

The list below is a brief overview of the steps for running a study.

Integrating measurements

Integrating measurements compute the average value over a period of time. In many work

environments, noise levels may be highly variable making it difficult to assess the sound level.

With the averaging function, you will see steadier values over the Run-Time (RT).

The chart below depicts the SPL and LEQ values measured over the RT. When the

measurements are compared, the SPL values measure the maximum and minimum values

while the LEQ provides steadier readings over the length of the study.

Figure 1-4: Comparison of noise sampled over Run-Time (SPL & LEQ values)

Quick Help List: typical sound session

1. Power on the SD-200 and ensure the windscreen is attached.

Note: if battery indicator appears, this signifies the instrument needs to be

charged. (See “Charging”)

2. Select the desired settings (A/C weighting, F/S response) and the desired measurement via

the keypad.

3. Position the SD-200 microphone so it is angled about 70 degrees from the noise source.

4. Measures: when first powered on, the SD-200 displays the current SPL or the last viewed

parameter prior to power off.

For integrated measurements, press key. (Noting the LEQ/LAVG values will provide

steadier values over a period of time.)

To view measurements, repeatedly press key and the SD-200 will toggle through

the various screens (SPL, LEQ/LAVG, LED Alert , MAX, MIN, Run-Time .)

5. Power off the instrument.

Integrating example

LEQ provides steadier

values (about 90 dB) over

the RT

4Operating

Running and stopping

The run and stop keys are used to start and stop the Run-Time for integrating

measurements which include: LEQ/LAVG (see Table 1-2 for more information), LED

Alert , MAX, and MIN screens.

1. While powered on, press key. The icon appears.

Note: While in run mode, the settings cannot be changed. (See “Settings”for

more information.)

2. To stop, press key. The icon disappears.

Viewing measurements

The mode key is used to view each measurement screen with its related value.

There are six measurement screens: SPL (no measurement indicator), LEQ/LAVG*,

MAX*, MIN*, LED alert *, and Run-time * screens (*while integrating has

occurred).

LED alert screen

The LED alert screen displays LEQ/LAVG measurements, a detection icon ,

and activated LED indicator levels. This measurement screen provides an

alternative view to detect the average dB levels with visual preset LED noise levels.

Please refer to Table 1-1 for the levels.
