AV-18

The HD 2020 sound level calibrator is a portable, battery operated sound source, suitable

for sound level meters (portable and laboratory) and acoustic stations. It allows calibrating

½” microphones with mechanical dimensions compliant with IEC 61094-1 (“Measurement

microphones. Part 1: Speciﬁcations for laboratory standard microphones”) and IEC 61094-4

(“Measurement microphones. Part 4: Speciﬁcations for working standard microphones”). The

calibration pressure levels of 94dB and 114dB can be selected by the keypad. The 1000 Hz

frequency cannot be changed.

If the microphone is absent or not inserted correctly into the calibrator cavity, the sound level

will blink on the display.

To conserve battery life, the instrument is provided with an automatic power off function: if you

leave the instrument on with open cavity, it switches off automatically after 30 seconds. If the

cavity is closed and the microphone is inserted, the instrument switches off 5 minutes after

turning on, provided that you don’t press any key.

The calibrator display shows calibration pressure level, battery life, current date and time.

The clock/calendar allows you to set the number of years and months of validity of the

calibration from the date of adjusting: at the expiration time, an appropriate symbol ﬂashes

on the display.

Advantages of the HD 2020 calibrator are:

• The 1000Hz frequency allows calibrating sound level meters with any weighting (LIN, A, B,

...), without applying any correction factor.

• The calibration sound pressure level is independent of atmospheric pressure: you don’t

need to adjust the value according to static pressure over a wide range of values.

• The HD 2020 calibrator can be conveniently used both in laboratory and in the ﬁeld. The 114

dB sound level allows performing calibrations even in high background noise environments.

• Its simplicity of use allows the use even by unskilled personnel.

• The presence of the LCD helps you through the steps of setting the calibrator, signal the end

of the span and allows you to check the status of the battery.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The HD 2020 can calibrate standard ½” microphones compliant with IEC 61094-1 and

IEC61094-2. To calibrate the microphone, insert it deep into the cavity. The O-ring will offer

some resistance.

The calibration can be effected by holding the HD2020 upright as well as by leaning the

instruments on a worktable.

While measuring, you should move neither the microphone nor the calibrator; make sure that

the worktable doesn’t transmit vibrations.

A small misalignment of the microphone and calibrator axes is allowed.

• Before beginning to calibrate, you should make sure that the ambient noise level doesn’t

affect the calibration. After inserting the microphone into the cavity, with the sound level

meter and the calibrator off, switch on the sound level meter and detect the unweighted

ambient sound pressure level. If the measured level is below 78 dB, you can use both

calibration sound levels (94 dB and 114 dB); if the level is between 78 dB and 98 dB you

can use the 114 dB level only, while a sound level above 98 dB means that calibration is not

possible.

• Press the ON/OFF key to switch the instrument on.

• Use the arrow keys to select the sound level: 94 dB or 114 dB.

• If the value displayed on the display stops ﬂashing within a few seconds, this indicates

improper placement of the microphone.

• Proceed with the calibration of sound level meter, following the procedure indicated on the

instrument manual.

• Apply the correction to the pressure level generated in the type of microphone (see the

following chapter).

• At the end, turn the sound level meter and calibrator off and remove the microphone from

the cavity.

With the HD 2020 calibrator can calibrate any type of SLM is provided with a microphone or

laboratory sample of work from ½” in conformity with the standards described in IEC 61094-

01 and IEC 61094-4.

Corrections for the type of microphone

The HD2020 calibrator generates a sound pressure level equal to 94 dB (or 114 dB) reported

in 20μPa. The normal working microphones ½”, used on sound level meters are engineered

to have a ﬂat frequency response in terms of free ﬁeld or diffuse ﬁeld is respectively in a ﬁeld

of progressive plane waves with propagation direction coincides with the axis of microphone

and in a ﬁeld of sound waves from all directions. These propagation conditions are different

from those experienced in the cavity of the sound calibrator. Free ﬁeld reﬂections caused by

the presence of the microphone alter the sound level by increasing the effective sensitivity of

the capsule at high frequencies. The microphones are optimized for free-ﬁeld measurements

exploit this phenomenon to obtain a ﬂat frequency response up to very high frequencies.

In these microphones increase in noise level at 1 kHz is approximately 0.05 dB ÷ 0:20 dB.

When you calibrate a microphone for free ﬁeld should therefore reﬂect this difference in sound

level meter by setting a noise level less than 0.1 dB and 0.2 dB compared to the nominal

calibrator. The microphones are optimized for diffuse ﬁeld measurements do not need instead

of corrections when calibrated cavity closed at 1 kHz.

REPORTING FOR LOW BATTERY AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The calibrator HD 2020 is equipped with two batteries: a user-replaceable 9V alkaline battery

and lithium. This serves to keep the clock and calendar function even if the external battery: its

replacement should be done at an authorized by Delta Ohm.

The charge level of the 9V battery is continuously monitored:

• If the battery is fully charged, its symbol is off;

• If the battery is partially charged, its symbol blinks: please replace the battery as soon as

possible;

• If the charge is insufﬁcient to ensure normal operation of the instrument, the symbol

remains constantly lit. When the battery is discharged, the calibrator is turned off within

approximately 10 seconds.

To replace the 9V battery, turn off the power and open the door at the bottom of the instrument.

Replace the battery. Close the door. The date, time interval expires calibration will be saved

if the battery is fully charged. The average duration of the battery depends on the presence

or absence of the external, if the external battery is present; the average life of battery is

approximately 5 years.

Warning on use of batteries

• If the battery is low, replace it as soon as possible.

• Make sure that there is no loss of liquid.

• Use good quality sealed batteries (alkaline if possible).

In Fig 3 is the schematic structure of the calibrator HD 2020 (in section). On the right side of the

container is the battery compartment. Above and below the battery compartment are printed

circuit boards and electronics. The upper one is reserved for the display and keyboard. At left is

the electro-acoustic transduction system consists of a large volume cavity with piezoceramic

generator and sensor feedback. The system emits a signal through the microphone located

½ “. A capillary hole outward balances the static pressure chamber protects the microphones

from excessive pressure caused by the advertiser.

The main part of electronics is an oscillator with high stability and low distortion plus an

RMS converter, the automatic gain control (AGC), the driver for the ceramic resonator and

electronics packaging of the signal provided by sensor feedback . The RMS level of the signal

provided by the sensor is compared with the reference level set at the factory, the difference

corrected by the automatic gain control, the amplitude of the signal generated by the oscillator

and then the acoustic signal generated by the piezoelectric transducer. The signal from the

sensor has minimal variation with temperature and static pressure, the frequency of the signal

provided by the oscillator is stable in relation to environmental parameters.
