Collecting Off Route Overall Sound Measurements
dataPAC 1500 Only
To collect a sound measurement using the dataPAC in Analysis mode, set up the overall
measurement as shown below. Choose Xdcr Native Units of Other, and a Measurement
Variable of Dynamic, and Unit Text of Pa for Pascals of pressure.
Connect and install a microphone transducer to collect the measurement, using
“Generic Other” as the type. If you are using an ICP microphone, you select Enable Power.
Usually a microphone transducer uses mV/Pa for calibration. There is an ICP microphone
available from IMI where the output is 25 mV/Pascal.
The installed transducer must have units that match the Xdcr Native Units, so you should
install the “Generic Other” transducer to collect a sound filtered measurement.
Collecting Dynamic Non-Vibration Measurements
dataPAC 1500 only
You can set up and collect non-vibration measurements, such as voltage measurements,
using the dataPAC 1500. There are two parameters that allow to do this, the Xdcr Native
Units setting, and the Measurement Variable setting.
For the Measurement Variable setting, the “Static” setting is for DC type signals like those
from a temperature probe. The “Dynamic” setting is for variable signals like those from a
microphone or a vibration transducer.
You should install the “Generic Other” transducer to collect non-vibration measurements.
To set up a temperature probe
You can order a temperature probe from Entek IRD (P/N 37431). To use this device for off
route data collection, you would set up a Generic Other transducer, and use the Static setting
for the Measurement Variable.
