ACOUSTIC PROFILE
CONCEPT
SV 104BIS is able to monitor and log noise by enabling up to three different parameter configuration settings,
a
lso referred to as “
ACOUSTIC PROFILE
”.
One can set profile no 1 to run measurements using the OSHA
HC (Occupational Safety and Health Administration - Hearing Conversation) parameters and at the same time
set profile no 2 to monitor the noise with the OSHA PEL (Occupational Safety and Health Administration
–
Permissible Exposure Level) parameters while profile no 3 is set to ACGIH parameters. This is the true triple
instrument in one.

VIEW
MODE PRESENTATION CONCEPT
Such an advanced noise dosimeter as SV 104BIS offers a large number of parameters for the operator to
inspect. Therefore, all information is divided in a neatly organized manner as
VIEW
modes for each PROFILE.
The VIEW mode is a way in which the measurement parameters are presented to the operator. In other words,
when you change the VIEW mode, specific measurement parameters and status information will be presented
in different manner as distinct screen content.
SV 104BIS features the following VIEW modes, where most of them can be individually disabled:
▪
Running instantaneous SPL view mode (Chapter 3.10.1 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
Primary
“one
-
result”
parameters view mode (Chapter 3.10.2 ) - cannot be disabled
▪
Results list view mode (Chapter 3.10.3 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
1/1-octave analysis spectrum LEQ view mode (Chapter 3.10.4 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
1/1-octave analysis spectrum MAX view mode (Chapter 3.10.4 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
1/3-octave analysis spectrum LEQ view mode (Chapter 3.10.5 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
1/3-octave analysis spectrum MAX view mode (Chapter 3.10.5 ) - can be disabled with PC software
▪
Instrument Status view mode (Chapter 3.10.6 ) - can be disabled with PC software
3.10.1 Running SPL view mode
The Running SPL view mode is used when measurement run is not actually running, that is when the
instrument is in standby mode before or after a measurement. In this mode the current SPL result is calculated
and displayed, but not stored in the instrument's memory. The purpose of this information is to give the user
a first indication of the sound levels about to be measured. This can be useful for some measurements. The
instrument behaves as a simple general-purpose sound pressure level meter in this view mode.

ONE RESULT
”
view mode
The One Result view mode is always available in all measurement modes and cannot be disabled. In the one
result mode, any measurement result, selected with the key, may be presented. The user may change
the actual profile view by pressing the key. This view mode is useful if in low vision conditions or is
suitable for operators with some visual impairment.
