NetBox
for XL2 Sound Level Meter
The NetBox connects the XL2 Sound Level Meter to the internet for unattended noise monitoring. It transfers the measurement data to the fully-managed NoiseScout Web Portal
in real time or provides a secure access to the instrument via
the NTi Audio Gateway.
The NoiseScout solution brings your XL2 noise measurement data
to your web browser. The NetBox retrieves the noise levels from
the XL2 and forwards them via 3G, 4G, 5G, LAN or WLAN to the
NoiseScout servers (4G/5G using an external modem). All measurement levels are available online for live visualization and unattended monitoring with email alerts.

for unattended noise monitoring
with the XL2 Sound Level Meter
Alternatively the NetBox enables SFTP (Secure File Transfer
Protocol) and remote COM port access to the XL2. The setup is
plug-and-play. The recording of spectral data, 100 ms data logging,
and event audio can be set up on the XL2. The resulting log files
can then be retrieved remotely during a running measurement.

Battery Power Supply
Situation•
mains power only optional available -
external battery pack(s) power the noise monitor station -
Solution •
external battery pack(s) power the NetBox optional are the battery packs connected to an individual charger
power supply is looped through the NetBox to the XL2 Sound Level Meter
What happens upon Battery Pack is down•
noise measurement is stopped (in case of used inernal XL2 bat- tery after 4 hours); XL2 powers down
(charger)
all measurement data recorded prior the power outage is saved on the meter
NetBox is powered off; no remote monitoring or data communi- cation is possible
NoiseScout - Managed Modus•
customer can be automaticaly informed by email about the power loss for immediate action
Note•
in case of Tracer battery packs are used, then utilize the acces- sory “Tracer Adapter Cable”, NTi Audio # 600 000 478
the Tracer Adapter Cable supports the auto-start of the NetBox or XL2 upon the battery was completely empty and is charged
again; the power supply will be connected to the NetBox or XL2
via a relay only upon a minimum charge condition is reached.

Setup and Power Supply Configurations
This part describes the recommended setup and power supply configurations of the NoiseScout measurement station for short-term
and long-term noise monitoring applications.
The internal XL2 battery can’t be continiously charged
by an external power supply for long-term applications.
Therefore either replace the internal XL2 battery in
annual intervals or operate the measurement station
without the internal XL2 battery.
The manufacturer guidelines of the solar controller has
to be followed. High electrical currents may be applicable. Select connection the cable type accordingly.
