RS 232 interface 

(optional) 

 

The RS 232 interface option for SV 973 is provided by means of the 

SP 75

 interface. It conforms to the EIA 

Standard RS 232C. It enables the user to programme remotely all instrument functions and the transmissions 
to and from the meter with the speed from 1200 bit/s to 115200 bit/s.  

 

 

Note: The SP 75 must be connected to the SV 973 USB port and proper operation of this port 
has to be set-

up in the instrument’s SETUP Menu before! 

 

The SP 75 - DB 09 F - pin female connector pin-out is given below.

Power Supply

 

 

Instrument is dedicated for the operation from the internal four replaceable AAA batteries. Power consumption 
from the 6V source is approx. 40 mA (at + 20

C). So, typical operating time from 4 x AAA alkaline batteries 

will be about 

20 hours

. Measurements with the display off extend the working time to more than 30 h. 

SV 973 can be also powered from the AAA Class rechargeable batteries. 

 

 

Note: For the temperatures below 0

C operating time can decree (depending on the batteries)! 

 

Real Time Clock

 

 

Built-in real time. Accuracy better than 1 minute/month. 

 

Wireless Bluetooth 4.2 Connectivity

 

 

This  dosimeter  supports  wireless  connection  via  Bluetooth®  4.2  (Low  energy).  This connectivity  
is compatible with mobile and PC devices that support Bluetooth® 4.2. 

 

TX power: up to 8 dBm 

 

Receiver sensitivity: -90 dBm 

 

Range: typically >50m line-of-sight and depending on local RF conditions.
