INTRODUCTION
The SVAN 971 is an extremely small Type 1 IEC 61672 Sound Level
Meter (SLM) and real time 1/1 & 1/3 octave analyzer (RTA). The
instrument represents State of the Art technological design bringing
unprecedented levels of SLM and RTA integration.
The new user interface of this instrument makes measurement
configuration as easy as possible. This all makes SVAN 971 an ideal
choice for industrial hygiene noise measurements, short period
environmental noise measurements, acoustics consultancy survays,
technical engineers dealing with noise issues and general acoustics
noise measurements.
The SVAN 971 provides broad band results with all required frequency
weighting filters plus real time 1/1 octave & 1/3 octave spectra in the
auduo range.
The instrument enables huge time history logging capability providing
broad band results and spectra with adjustable double (long and short)
logging steps. Audio recording on user selectable trigger conditions
complete the logging functionality. Data are stored on a micro SD
memory card and can be easily downloaded to PC (with the provided
SvanPC++ software) over USB or optional RS 232 interfaces.
The instrument can be easily calibrated in the field using an acoustic
calibrator. A built-in algorithm automatically activates the calibration
process whenever an acoustic calibrator is installed on microphone and
the calibration history is saved for later inspection.
Thanks to a robust (IP65) and pocket size housing, this instrument is an
excellent tool for anyone who deals with acoustic measurements.
The SVAN 971 comes with SvanPC++ software for data download,
visualization, basic post-processing and exporting to commonly used
office software applications. Additionally, a dedicated software package
for environmental monitoring (SvanPC++_EM) is also available. This
module supports measurement data management, advanced data
processing and analysis, visualization and automated reporting.

Control of the instrument has been developed in a fully interactive manner. The user can operate the
instrument by selecting the appropriate position from the screen Menu list. Thanks to that, the number
of the control push-buttons of the instrument has been reduced to eight for ease of use and
convenience.
2.1
The following control push-buttons are located on the front panel of the
instrument:
<ESC>, (<P/S>),
<ENTER>, (<Menu>),
<>,
<>,
<>,
<>.
<Shift>,
<Start/Stop>,
The action given in (...) brackets denotes the second push-button function
which is available after pressing it in conjunction (or in sequence) with the
<Shift> push-button.
<Shift>
The second function of a push-button (P/S and Menu) can be used when the
<Shift> push-button is pressed together with <ESC> or <Enter>. This pushbutton can be used in two different ways:
as Direct like in a computer keyboard (e.g. while typing the filename);
both <Shift> and the second push-button must be pressed
simultaneously;
as 2nd Function; this push-button can be pressed and released before
pressing the second push-button.
<Start/Stop>
This push-button enables the user to start and stop the measurement process.
<ENTER>
This push-button enables the user to enter the selected position shown on the
screen Menu list, to confirm selected settings or to switch the views of the result
presentation modes. Some additional functions of this push-button will be
described in the following chapters of this manual.
(<Menu>)
This push-button (pressed together with the <Shift>) enables the user to enter
the main list containing six sub-lists: Function, Measurement, Display, File,
Instrument, Aux. Setup and Report. Each of the mentioned above sub-lists
consists of other sub-lists, elements and data windows. These main sub-lists will
be described in detail in the following chapters of the manual. Double pressing
the <Menu> push-button enters the list containing the last eight opened sub-lists.
<ESC>
(<P/S>)
This push-button enables the user to pause or break the measurement process
temporarily. If there is no current running measurement in progress this pushbutton opens the Setup Manager menu.
<>, <>
(<>, <>)
<>, <>
(<>, <>)
The <>, <> push-buttons pressed in conjunction (or in sequence) with the
<Shift> enable the user, in particular, to:
change the current profile in the measurement display mode,
change the relationship between the Y-axis and X-axis of all plots presented
on the screen,
program the Real Time Clock (RTC) and delayed run Timer.
<>
The simultaneously pressing the <>, <> push buttons initiates recording of a
voice signal as a comment (see. Paragraph 9.3 Voice comments).
2.2
The USB Device 2.0 interface is the serial interface working with 12 MHz clock in the full speed mode
and with 480MHz in the high speed mode, which is a default mode of the instrument. Thanks to its
speed, it is widely used in all PCs. In the instrument, the standard 4-pin socket is used and described
in detail in Appendix C.
Notice: Switch the power off before connecting the instrument to any other device (e.g.
a printer or a Personal Computer) or fitting the microphone capsule.
In order to perform measurements using the instrument the user only has to plug-in the preamplifier
with the microphone already screwed on and to switch the power on by means of the <Shift> and
<Start/Stop> push-buttons at the same time.
3.1.
The instrument is controlled by means of eight push-buttons on the keypad. Using these push-buttons
one can access all available functions and change the value of all available parameters. The functions
are placed in a system of lists and sub-lists shown on the high contrast graphic colour display.
The instrument's menu consists of different type of windows, which include: main menu list, sub-menu
list, option list, parameter list, text editor window, information window and file manager window with file
command list.
<EN>
Main menu
The main list contains the headers of seven lists, which also contain sub-lists or
positions (elements). The main list is opened after pressing the <Menu>
(<Shift> and <Enter>) push-button. This list contains the following lists:
Function, Measurement, Display, File, Instrument, Aux. Setup and Report.
Position selection
The desired position in menu list is selected using the
<> or <> push-buttons.
<>
<ENT>
List of parameters
The parameter list contains parameters for which the user may select the value
from the available range. The next press of the <ENTER> push-button enables
the user to access the sub-lists as mentioned above.
The desired position in a list is accessed after pressing the <> or <>
push-button.
The change of the value in a selected position is performed by the <> or
<> push-buttons (or pressed together with the <Shift> one).
Option list
The option list consists of different options, from which only one may be
selected. The selection of the option is performed in the following way. The user
has to highlight the desired option by means of the <> or <> push-buttons
and then press <ENTER>. This option becomes active and the list is closed.
When the user re-enters this list again, the last selected option will be marked.
If the parameter has a numerical value the user may speed up selection by pressing the <> or <>
push-buttons (or pressed together with the <Shift> one) for longer than 2 seconds. In this case, the
parameter starts to change automatically until the user releases the pressed buttons.
The user may change the numerical parameter value with a larger step (usually 10, 20) by means of
the <> or <> push-buttons pressed together with <Shift>.
Matrix of parameters
When the list of parameters consists of more than one column the user may
change:
column by means of <> or <>
line in the column by means of <> or <>
value in a selected position by means of <> or <> with <Shift>
value in a line by means of <> or <> with <Shift>
value in a column, if the cursor is on one of Profile positions, by means of <>
or <> with <Shift>
value in a matrix, if the cursor is on one of Profile positions, by means of <>
or <> with <Shift>
<>
In all cases the <ENTER> push-button is used for confirmation of the selection in a position and for
closing the opened sub-list. The sub-list is closed, ignoring any changes made in thr list by pressing
the <ESC> push-button.
Information window
Some windows inform the user about the state of the instrument, available
memory, not existing files or loggers, standards fulfilled by the unit, etc. In order
to scroll through the list, the user has to use the <> or <> push-button. In
order to close such a window, the user has to press the <ESC> push-button.
Help information
In most windows the last line or several lines contain help information. It informs
the user how to select or modify the parameters value, change the character in
the text line etc. (Delete: Sh<, Insert: Sh>)
Inactive parameters
If some functions or parameters are not available, the positions in the menu or
parameter lists linked with this function or parameter become inactive (the
selected line field will be in frame with black background, not yellow). For
example, if Logger (path: <Menu> / Measurement / Logging / Logger Set.) is
switched off the other Logging positions are not active!

Memory organisation
All available measurement results and settings can be stored in the external
Memory (micro SD Card) as files.
The SD Card external memory is activated automatically after insertion of
the card. The presence of an SD Card is signalled by the memory icon with
SD letters at the top left hand corner of the display.
- SD card is
inserted
- no SD card
File manager
The File Manag. is used for checking the contents of the
memory and operation on files and catalogues such as:
rename, delete, display information and also to create
new catalogues.
<ENT>
<>
Files are saved automatically to the SD card. To enable automatic saving several conditions should be
fulfilled:
1. SD card should be inserted and there should be enough space on it.
2. The Logger (path: <Menu> / Measurement / Logging / Logger Set.) should be switched on.
3. The selected should be defined with a unique name.
The files are saved in the catalogue, which was set up as the working catalogue. The default working
catalogue, after using Factory Set function, is called SVANTEK.
The Setup files can be stored by means of Setup Man. list or by pressing <Shift> with <ESC> pushbuttons from the measurement screen, when a measurement is not being made. All Setup files are
stored in the default catalogue SETUP on the SD disk.
<ENT>
4.1.
The main function of the instrument is the measurement of sound pressure level (Lev. Met.). The
Sound Level Meter (SLM) function provides the user with functions meeting the standard
IEC 61672:2002 for Type 1 accuracy. The instrument can also be used for medium to long-term
acoustic monitoring using the huge capacity data logger in which all the measurement results are
stored.
The user may also use 1/1 and 1/3 real time octave band analysis and dose meter (dosimeter)
functions. These functions broaden the main Level Meter functions of the instrument, because 1/1 and
1/3 analysis as well as dose meter measurements are performed together with all calculations of the
broadband Level Meter functions.
In order to select the required function the user has to
enter the Meas. Funct list. After entering the Meas. Funct
list, the set of the available functions appears on the
display: Lev. Met., 1/1 Oct., 1/3 Oct., Dose Met. and
Run. LEQ. The currently active function is highlighted.
<ENT>
Notice: The type of measurement function and the measurement mode is not displayed
on the screen, so the user should remember the currently selected function!
Optional functions that broaden the applications of the instrument can be easily installed. These
options can be provided initially by the manufacturer or can be purchased at a later time when
required.
Notice: It is not possible to change the measurement function during a measurement run.
In this case, the instrument displays for about 3 seconds the text: Measurement in
Progress. In order to change the mode of the instrument the current measurement in
progress must be stopped!
4.2.
The instrument is factory calibrated with the supplied microphone for the standard environmental
conditions. Because the microphone sensitivity is a function of the temperature, ambient pressure and
humidity, when the absolute sound pressure level value is important, the absolute calibration of the
measurement channel should be performed. In order to select the calibration function the user has to
enter the Calibration sub-list.
The instrument performs the acoustic calibration automatically, when the calibrator is placed over the
microphone. The calibrator levelis automatically detected and the calibration proceedure is started.
<ENT>
Notice: It is advised to perform an acoustic calibration of the instrument each time before
the measurements begin. A sinle calibration at the start of each day is usually sufficient
for most regulations.
Notice: The calibration factor is always added to the results in the Lev. Met., 1/1 Oct.,
1/3 Oct., Dose Met.
3. Switch on the calibrator and wait ca 30 seconds for the tone to stabilise
before starting the calibration measurement.
4. Start the calibration measurement by pressing the <Start/Stop> pushbutton.
<ENT>
Notice: To quit the calibration procedure without saving the calibration factor press
<ESC>.
<ENT>
The user can clear all calibrations records in the history. In order to do this the
user has to choose the position Clear Hist. and press <ENTER>.
The instrument requests confirmation of the selected operation. The next press
of the <ENTER> push-button, when the No option is selected, closes the
window and returns to the Calibration sub-list.
<ENT>
The Measurement list is used for setting the various measurement parameters and contains the
following items:
General Set
Meas. Trig.
enables the user to set up the measurement trigger. This position appears
only in Advanced interface mode;
Profiles
Logging
Spectrum
enables the user to set spectrum parameters. This position becomes available
only in 1/1 Oct. and 1/3 Oct. modes;

Stat. Lev.
Timer
enables the user to program the internal timer. This position appears only in
Advanced interface mode.
5.1
Notice: The minimum delay period is equal to 0 second. In the Calibration mode, the
delay period is always equal to 5 seconds.
The measurement will stop automatically after this period, or the measurement will start again when
the selected Rep. Cycles is greater than one. The whole block of summary results will be added to
the logger file at the end of measurement cycle.
The definitions of the measurement results in which the integration period is used are given in App. D.
Setting the number of repetition of measurement cycles
The value of Rep. Cycles defines the number of cycles (with the measurement
period defined in the Integr. Per) to be performed by the instrument. The
Rep. Cycles number values are within the limits [1, 1000]. Its value by default is
set to 1.
In the Simple instrument interface mode this parameter doesnt appear in the
General Set list and cannot be changed.
<>
Setting Linear is required for getting the true LEQ value of the measured signal. When this option is
selected the value of the Leq, Le, LEPd, Lxx and Sel functions do not depend on the detector time
constant: Fast, Slow or Imp. (the results are displayed without the indicator of the detectors selected
in the profiles). In this case, the indicator Lin. (or L) is displayed in the different modes of the result
presentation.
Setting Exponential enables the user to fulfil the requirements of another standard for the time
averaged Leq measurements. When this option is selected the value of the Leq, Le, LEPd, Lxx and
Sel function depends on the detector time constant. Tthe results are displayed with the indicator of the
detectors selected in the profiles (path: <Menu> / Measurement / Profiles).
5.2
<ENT>
The triggering is switched on if one of its six available modes is selected: Level +, Level or Grad +.
If the instrument works with the triggering switched on, the appropriate icon appears on the display in
the case when the triggering condition was not fulfilled.
The triggering condition is checked every 0,5 mili seconds.
Level type trigger
In the case when Level + is selected, in each second of the measurement the
triggering condition is checked; the measurement is recorded only when the signal
has the level greater than determined by the selected decibel Level and in the
other case the measurement result is skipped.
In the case, when Level is selected, in each second of the measurement the
triggering condition is checked; the measurement is recorded only when the signal
has level lower than determined by the selected decibel Level and in the other
case the measurement result is skipped.

The Logger Step defines the period of the data logging in a file. It can be set from
100ms to 1h. Its value by default is set to 1s.
In the Simple instrument interface mode this parameter doesnt appear in the
Logger Set. list and cannot be changed.
<>
When the Logger is switch on and the logging results have been defined, then in parallel with
measurements during Interg. Per results, the partial measurement results are saved in the file with
the interval step, defined by Logger Step parameter. Up to 12 results can be logged simultaneously
from three independent user defined profiles of the instrument (Peak / Max / Min / Leq) with time step
down to 100ms. These results are saved in the logger file in the external memory in all modes and
functions of the instrument. The recording in the loggers memory is stopped after the period, which is
equal to Integr. Per multiplied by Rep. Cycles or after pressing the <Start/Stop> push-button or after
stopping the measurements remotely. The whole block of summary results will be added to the logger
file at the end of the measurement cycle.
