Lay the cables so that they are loose at the ends. The loose cable should hang a bit lower than the connector to avoid accumulation of rainwater.

2.9 Important information

The SA209 foam protects microphone from wind and rain.

Notice: If SV 200 is used continuously for a long period of time it is recommended

to replace SA209 foam at least once a year.

During continuous usage the SA209 foam is exposed to different weather conditions with possibility of

causing mechanical damage to the foam’s structure. Therefore it is recommended, at least once a

quarter (3 months), to check the condition of the foam by examining the surface for cracks by squeezing the foam. If cracks or holes are observed, the SA209 foam must be replaced.

SA209 foam must be replaced whenever squeezing it causes severing of small pieces of its surface.

3.3 DC IN socket

The DC IN socket is used to connect external power source, i.e. provided power supply, optional solar panel or external battery pack.

The SV 200 can be powered using one of the following power sources:

• Li-Ion batteries, fitted internally. Operating using the internal Li-Ion batteries depends on the power consumption:

➢ up to 45 hours – modem off, ➢ up to 30 hours – 3G modem on, ➢ up to 20 hours – WiFi modem on.

• Provided AC power supply. Input 110-240 VAC, output +24 VDC 2.5A, IP66 housing.

• Optional solar panel. MPPT voltage 17 V-20 V, connected directly to the SV200, without using

power conditioner.

• External DC source. Voltage range 10.5 V – 24 V, e.g. 12 V or 24 V battery.

The internal battery is charged in a fully automatic cycle, when the instrument is connected to any external power source. The SV200 charges itself irrespectively of it being turned on or off. The weather conditions (i.e. temperature) are taken into account while charging to prevent any damage of the battery caused by charging in too high or too low temperature.

Notice: The SV 200 is equipped with the mechanism which protects the internal Li-Ion batteries from damage caused by critical discharge. When the battery is running flat, the instrument is automatically switched off.

After plugging the antenna into the socket, the screw should be tightened to light resistance only. Do not over tighten this connector.

3.6 Calibration

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.

Preparing for calibration

1. In order to access the microphone it is necessary to disassemble following parts of the SV 200 according to Chapter 2.10:

• con nozzle,

• SA 209 foam windscreen,

• extension sleeve,

• microphone protective sleeve,

2. After disassembling attach the acoustic calibrator, SV30A (or equivalent 114 dB / 1000 Hz) carefully over the microphone of the instrument.

calibrator

SV 200 USER MANUAL 33

Notice: It is also possible to use an electro-mechanical pistonphone, which generates the signal (ca 124 dB) or different type of acoustic calibrator dedicated for ½” microphones. In any case, before starting the calibration measurement, the user has to set the level of the signal generated by the given calibrator, which is stated in the calibration certificate of the unit.

3. Switch on the calibrator and wait ca 30 seconds for the tone to stabilise before starting the calibration measurement.

Using Automatic Calibration feature of SV200

Notice: Automatic Calibration feature is switched off by default. To switch this feature on see Chapter 6.13.

Automatic calibration feature was implemented to make calibration as easy as possible and to allow technical personnel to perform a calibration of the SV200 with minimum knowledge and without any additional devices like PC or SV200CU.

1. Switching the calibrator on begins the Automatic Calibration procedure.

2. Wait for the calibration to finish while STAT LED is flashing alternately red and green.

3. If Automatic Calibration is successful the STAT LED turns green. If otherwise the STAT becomes solid red.

4. After detaching the calibrator from the SV200 the unit returns to its previous state.

Detailed description of the Automatic Calibration feature

The feature is based on 1 second integrated RMS(C) values which are calculated independently to logger and summary results. These results are always available even if measurements are stopped, which allows for the procedure to start any time.

The sound pressure level generated by the calibrator should be equal to previously configured level (see Chapter 6.13) and stable within ±0,1dB margin

If previous conditions are met, measurements are stopped (if were running) and outdoor filter is turned off. Automatic calibration is in progress, which is signalized by STAT LED alternate red and green flashes. If level is stable (next three results are within ±0,1dB margin), calibration factor is calculated. Automatic calibration success if calibration factor is within ±3dB.

To finish the automatic calibration procedure, just remove the calibrator. STAT LED of the SV200 returns to its normal mode reflecting state of the SV200: start, stop, internet connection etc.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 50

5 REMOTE CONFIGURATION

5.1 Remote control principles

Depending on the remote communication module chosen, the SV 200 comes equipped with either H24 Telit 3G Modem or with Lantronix WiPort LAN/WLAN. Both options offer means of communication using industry standard protocols, allowing access for applications such as SvanPC++ via Internet.

5.1.1 H24 Telit 3G Modem

The H24 Telit 3G Modem module enables the user a wide array of interfacing capabilities through the use of GSM based internet access. The SV 200 equipped with such a module has a SIM card slot to which a proper card with an internet access plan needs to be inserted. The SIM card’s PIN code must be deactivated beore use. The user is usually expected to have means of acquiring such a card on their own as GSM services are country based.

Internet access, as provided by GSM operators, comes with a set parameters that define the visibility of the address the SIM card is assigned each time it connects to the network. This address can be public or private (meaning whether the address is accessible from the outside or not) and can be static or dynamic (meaning whether the address is different each time the card connects to the Internet or stays the same). The parameters define the range of available functionalities of the instrument when it comes to how can it be accessed remotely.

The functionalities that H24 Telity 3G Modem module offers are:

• Main communication channel

• Web server

• SMS / E-mail alarms

• SMS command exchange

Main communication channel is a TCP connection (a lossless data exchange protocol) that can be used to exchange commands as specified by Appendix A. This connection is primary means of managing data and instrument by applications such as SvanPC++ and as such provides the most accurate and real-live method of performing such tasks as data download, performance validation and measurement start/stop. For more information about what can be achieved through the use of remote commands see Appendix A. Remote Control.

Main communication channel of the SV 200 can be established by one of two available methods: TCP Server or TCP Client.

TCP Server is a mode of main communication channel in which the H24 Telit 3G Modem is configured to act as a server for incoming connections. For the use in SV 200, the modem is awaiting for the first connection to be established on a designated port (called Data Port; default 8001). Such connection can come from any application designed to act as an initiator of the TCP connection (such as SvanPC++) called remote peer. This mode is recommended to be used as it places the initiative completely on the controlling application's side. This mode requires the SIM card's plan to feature a public address (also called public IP).

The TCP Server mode features a functionality called Registration. This functionality is a method of translation of a dynamic address to a form of a static credentials. It is essential for effective use with SIM card plans that feature a dynamic IP. The dynamic IP means that internet address changes each time the modem equipped with a dynamic IP SIM card establishes connection to the Internet. As such, it is impossible to determine what is the SV 200's internet address in a given moment. The Registration feature allows the instrument to provide its current internet address for an external application to acquire to later connect to it.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 51

There are three Registration methods supported by SV 200:

1. SvanNET

2. DynDns

3. Address Server

The DynDns is a service that allows a static name to be translated to an internet address. The controlling application uses the name to identify the SV 200 in the internet network as an address to connect to. The properly configured instrument provides means to validate its internet address to be recognized in internet network. The name provided by DynDns service is translated by the DNS protocol to a given internet address to which an application can connect to.

Notice: This feature requires a paid DynDns account and its credentials (host name, login name and password) need to be inputted into the SV 200 configuration. For more details regarding DynDns service consult http://www.dyndns.org.

The Address Server is Svantek’s own means of providing the instrument's current internet address. In this mode, the SV 200 provides its current internet address to Svantek server. SvanPC++ is then later able to fetch said address to be able to connect to it. This mode requires no paid account and no credentials of any sort as it comes preconfigured to the user, but it requires access to

www.svantek.com domain from the GSM operator network.

Notice: To use this mode contact your local SVANTEK distributor.

TCP Client is a mode of main communication channel in which the H24 Telit 3G Modem is configured to initiate connection to a designated address (called remote host). Each time a reconnection period (configurable; default 30 seconds) has elapsed, the SV 200 in such mode attempts to establish a TCP connection to a designated address on a designated port (Data Port). Should the connection be established successfully, the SV 200 is ready to exchange commands similar as in TCP Server mode. Should the connection attempt fail or be broken by the remote host, the SV 200 will attempt to connect again after another reconnection period has elapsed.

To prevent the connections from going idle (a state in which the connection seems active, but no data can be transferred – it may happen due to GSM operator terminating the link, but the TCP protocol not being able to detect it), any connection (be it Main communication channel or Web server connection), will be terminated after a reconnection period during which no data is transferred.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 52

5.1.2 Web server

Web Server enables access to most basic functionalities of data download and instrument control via a

Web Browser. The SV 200 features a web page that can be displayed by a web browser. This feature can be accessed by entering either the instrument's internet address in the browser window. The Web Server functions over the Main Communication Channel, excluding the exchange of regular commands while browsing the instrument’s WWW pages. If Registration functionality is enabled with DynDns mode configured, the user can input the instrument’s DynDns name in the web browser, rather than the internet address.

Each SV 200 comes with its own set of default WWW files, ready to be used in such fashion, but the instrument allows the user's files to be used in its stead. The WWW files are stored in the root folder of the instrument’s SD card and can be updated using SvanPC++’s file upload function.

The default Web page of the instrument is a robust design, allowing display of various information. The built-in command parser allows the browser to exchange dynamic data via the use of JavaScript, thus enabling the possibility to view live data results, spectrum graphs, read and send current configuration settings. Due to limited capabilities of the instrument as compared to dedicated web servers, the functionality does not support parallel data transfer that is featured by modern browsers and as such the web pages are designed in such a way to improve performance by delegating the browser to download static resources (such as libraries, images and style sheets) from www.svantek.com domain.

However, should this site be unreachable from the instrument’s side, the page will attempt to fetch

resources from the SV 200 enabling its full functionality, although at reduced download rate. The Web

server is fit with a caching support, allowing the browsers to store static content on the computer’s disk

drive and use it the next time it connects to the SV 200 rather than force them to download the page again.

Notice: The Web Server functionality of SV 200 requires a SIM card with a public internet IP address.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 53

5.1.3 SMS / E-mail alarming

SMS / E-mail alarming functionality allows the SV 200 equipped with a SIM card to acknowledge the

user with an information of a measurement value crossing a defined threshold with an SMS and/or Email notification. Whenever a defined condition is met, the SV 200 can send an SMS to a defined number and/or an E-mail to a defined address to provide information, including the current value of the monitored result, the profile it is measured in and the value of the threshold it's being measured against.

The SMS alarming allows the user to input a single phone number to which alarms will be sent. The content of the message is created automatically, featuring the details of the configured alarm trigger and the current value of the result that triggered it. The users can set a small amount of information to be included in the SMS message.

The E-mail alarming requires the credentials of the e-mail server to be used for it, including the SMPT server name, the port number, sender name, login and password. A single e-mail address can be provided to which the alarm will be sent. Similar as with SMSes, the contents of the message is created automatically and the user can add their own information to it – in addition, the subject of the e-mail message can be edited as well. The current implementation of the functionality does not support SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connections to e-mail servers – the user is expected to use an account on a nonsecured SMTP server.

It should be noted that SMS alarming does not require the modem to establish internet connection and, as such, the SIM card does not require any data transfer plan as sending SMS messages is done entirely over GSM network. E-mails still require access to the internet.

5.1.4 SMS command exchange

SMS command exchange allows any command from the Appendix A. Remote Control to be

exchanged by via SMS. By sending a command as specified by the said document, the SV200 is able to provide a response. This feature is particularly handy when retrieving the current state of the SV 200 as the instrument is fit with numerous command regarding its current measurement and operational state.

Similar as with SMS alarming, this feature does not require an active internet connection. The way internet data plans are implemented by GSM operators it is not uncommon to be in a temporary situation that internet connection is not possible to be established, but exchanging SMS is still an option – be it to increased internet traffic on one end or signal not being strong enough to form a coherent packet exchange.

Considering this, the functionality is a useful tool for keeping track of the instrument’s state and resolving

some of the issues caused by current conditions. In particular, the “Reset” (reset communication) and “#7,XR;” (full instrument reset) commands are particularly handy should the loss of remote

communication occur. The functionality does not require any additional configuration as is always active when modem is on.

Should a command be sent to the instrument that produces reply, that reply will be sent via SMS to the phone number it received the command from.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 54

5.1.5 Lantronix WiPort Modem

SV 200 equipped with a Lantronix WiPort modem uses a different method of remote connection. Rather than establishing connection to the internet via GSM operator, it connects directly to Local Area Network via the use of Ethernet cable or wirelessly through Wi-Fi communication. The user needs not to have a SIM card for such device, but needs to provide a networking environment for the instrument to connect to.

The Lantronix modem can be configured to work in one of two modes:

• Wireless (default)

• Wired

Wireless connection requires no cables, although it still needs to remain in close proximity to the devices it is intended to connect with (as per limitation of the Wi-Fi protocol). When properly configured, the modem will remain connected to the designated network when powered up. The wireless connection can be set up in two ways:

• Ad-hoc (default)

• Infrastructure

Ad-hoc connection method allows a direct wireless connection to a computer equipped with a Wi-Fi module. Establishing such connection requires enabling it on both the SV 200 and the computer it will communicate with by defining an ad-hoc SSID (network name) and security settings. By default, Lantronix module comes with a configured ad-hoc connection with SSID LTRX-IPSS with no password.

Notice: Ad-hoc connection method may show some issues when working with some

802.11n wireless adapters.

Infrastructure connection, rather than being a direct wireless link between the computer and SV 200, facilitates a standalone, dedicated device called Access Point to which all Wi-Fi devices connect to. This requires the SV 200 to be configured to connect to such Access Point using its SSID (network name) and security settings. Similar to ad-hoc connections, the module will remain connected to the network once properly configured.

Wired connection requires physical link to either a router or a PC through the use of Ethernet port. Upon connection, the Lantronix module will become part of the Local Area Network and all PCs that also are members of the network will be able to connect to it.

It should be noted that in any given moment, Lantronix module can only work in Wired or in Wireless mode. Connecting Ethernet cable while the module is configured for Wireless will have no effect.

The SV 200 equipped with a Lantronix WiPort Modem offers the following functionalities:

• Main communication channel

• Web Server

These functionalities work similar to SV200 with 3G modem, except that the connection is governed by

the Lantronix module, rather than the instrument itself. The particular details of the connections’ behaviour depend on the WiPort’s settings, allowing the configuration of TCP Server and TCP Client

modes. While multiple parallel connections can be established to a single module, the SV 200 will not be able to discern between them and all data sent to the module will be broadcasted over all active connections. The connection, however, supports both Main communication channel data exchange and Web browser HTTP protocol, enabling the use of those functionalities.

The user needs to be mindful of that there is no Registration method featured for Main communication channel and Web server connections, meaning that method of identifying the device in the network

Z komentarzem [SD4]: Nie wiem o co chodzi. Lantronix może mieć tylko jedno połączenie w danej chwili

SV 200 USER MANUAL 55

needs to be supported by proper configuration. This is solved by either configuring the Lantronix module to have a Static IP, recognized by the network or by deploying a DHCP protocol by whatever controller is governing the network (e.g. a router) and configuring it so that the SV 200 always receives the same address.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 56

SV 200 USER MANUAL 58

6.3 Measurement setup

The Measurement setup tab consists of the following parameters: the measured function (Level meter, 1/1 octave or 1/3 octave), the delay of the start of measurements (Start delay), the integration period

/ measurement run time (Integration period), the RMS detector type (RMS integration), the number of repetitions of measurement cycles (Repetition cycles) and the frequency response of the microphone (Outdoor filter).

6.3.1 Measurement function

The main function of the instrument is the measurement of Sound pressure broad band level (Level Meter). The Level Meter function provides the user with functions meeting the standard IEC 61672:2013 for Type 1 accuracy.

The user may also use 1/1 and 1/3 real time octave band frequency analysis functions. These functions extend the main Level Meter functions of the instrument, because the selected 1/1 and 1/3 octave analysis is performed together with all calculations of Level Meter functions.

After entering the Function list, the set of the available functions appears on the display: Level Meter, 1/1 Octave and 1/3 Octave. In order to select the required function the user has to enter the Function list and click suitable item.

6.3.2 Start delay

The Start Delay setting defines the delay period from the moment of pressing power button, clicking Start measurement button in Web Interface or SvanPC++ Remote Communication module to the start of the actual measurement (the digital filters of the instrument constantly analyse the input signal even when the measurement is stopped). This delay period can be set from 0 s to 60 s with 1 s steps.

6.3.3 Integration period

The Integration Period setting defines the period during which the signal is being measured (integrated) and stored as the set of Summary Results (SR).

The measurement will stop automatically after this period. When the Repetition cycle is greater than one the measurement will start again. The definitions of the measurements results in which the integration period is user is given in Appendix D.

6.3.4 RMS Integration

The RMS Integration setting defines the detector type for the calculations of the Leq, LEPd, LN% and SEL functions. Two options are available: linear and exponential. The formulae used for the Leq calculation are given in Appendix D.

Selecting Linear is required to obtain the true RMS value of the measured signal. When this option is selected the value of the Leq, LEPd, LN% and SEL functions do not depend on the detector time constant: Fast, Slow or Impulse.

Selecting Exponential enables the user to fulfill the requirements of other standards for the time averaged Leq measurements. When this option is selected the calue of the Leq, LEPd, LN% and SEL functions depends on the detector time constant: Fast, Slow or Impulse.

6.3.5 Repetition cycles

The Repetition cycles setting defines the number of cycles (with the measurement period defined by Integration

Period) to be performed by the instrument, The Repetition cycles number values are within the limits [1, 1000]. Infinite

repetition cycles number can also be set.

6.3.6 Outdoor filter

The Outdoor filter setting enables the user to select the appropriate frequency response compensation filter. The characteristic of the outdoor filter depends on the application: environmental (the acoustic signal is parallel to

the microphone’s grid) or airport (the acoustic signal is perpendicular to the microphone’s grid). The frequency

characteristic of the designed filters is given in Appendix D.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 60

6.4 Channels

This tab enables the user to adjust filter and RMS detector settings for each acoustic profile individually, which effectively gives three separate results with different filter and detector setting. Frequency weighting filter for 1/1 & 1/3 octave analysis can also be set.

6.4.1 Weighting filter selection

• Z type 1 according to IEC 61672-1 standard,

• A type 1 according to IEC 651 and IEC 61672-1

The Logger meteo check-box controls saving results from SV205B weather station (sold separately). The results are

saved according to Logger step setting, unless it is smaller than 1s. In such case weather data will be stored in the result file each second.

The SV205B cooperating with Gill WindSonic wind-meter allows the user to record humidity, pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction values. It is also equipped with rain sensor.

6.5.4 Splitting mode

The Splitting mode selector enables the user to choose maximum length of each individual result *.svn file. If the measurement is still carried out, the file is closed and the results are saved in the next file.

At specific time option splits files at specified time of day. It is possible to define up to six settings.

6.5.5 Logger results

The Logger Results list enables the user to activate the results for three independent user defined profiles, which will be recorded to the logger file during measurement. Measurement parameters for each profile are defined in Channels section (see Chapter 6.4).

SV 200 USER MANUAL 63

6.6 Event recording

The Event Recording functionality enables the user to activate and set the parameters of event

waveform signal recording on the instrument’s SD Card.

6.6.1 Recording type

The Recording type setting enables the user to choose where the recording is going to be stored.

In Wave recording mode recordings will take form of separate PCM (*.wav) files stored on the SD Card of the SV 200 alongside logger files.

In Event recording mode the recordings will be stored inside logger files. Audio recording in logger file is indicated by the Audio marker. The recording can be later exported from the logger file in PCM format.

Notice: PCM audio recordings take up a lot of storage space and therefore bandwidth during data download. Be careful using audio recordings especially with 3G modem version of SV 200.

6.6.2 Recording settings

The Recording settings section enable the user to choose sampling frequency and format (only available in wave recording mode) of the recording.

It is possible to select one of the three following sampling rates:

• 12 kHz,

• 24 kHz,

• 48 kHz.

Choosing higher sampling rate ensures recording of higher frequency but at the same time increases file size.

When Continuous trigger type is active, whole measurement will be recorded.

Slope type trigger

In the case when Slope + is selected, the recording starts when the rising result value passes above the level determined in the Level list. When Slope – is selected, the measurement starts when the falling result value passes below the level determined in the Level list. The recording is stopped after a period determined in Recording Time list. The triggering condition checking time is determined in Step list.

Level type trigger

The recording is active only when the result value has a level greater/lower than that determined in the Level list. The recording is stopped after a period determined in Recording Time list regardless of the result value. The triggering condition checking time is determined in Step list.

Gradient type trigger

The recording is active only when the result value has a level greater than that determined in the Level list and the gradient of the signal is greater than determined in the Gradient list. The recording is stopped after a period determined in Recording Time.

SV 200 USER MANUAL 65

7 WEB INTERFACE

When enabled, and the instrument is properly configured (both in 3G and Wi-Fi versions), SV 200 offers

the user easy means of accessing the instrument’s settings, results and status information via a Web

browser. The default web page of the instrument features four tabs that cover a different area of information:

• Live data

• File storage

• Configuration

• Status

Notice: The WEB Interface must be enabled during initial instrument configuration. See Chapter 0.

7.1 Live data page

Live data displays the information about the current measurement. It serves as a welcoming page for

the instrument and includes a variety of information. Information such as station name, project name and location serve to quickly name tag the instrument. The map field is used to show the instrument’s position. The map is downloaded in parts from www.openstreetmap.org and should the site be inaccessible by the browser, proper information will be displayed.

7.1.1 Overview section
