SVAN 977A Sound & Vibration Analyser

SVAN 977A Sound & Vibration Analyser

The SVAN 977A is a Class 1 Sound and Vibration meter designed for occupational and
environmental measurement applications. The SVAN 977A is a successor of SVAN 977 offering
bigger memory 8 GB and the Bluetooth® interface as a software option that can be enabled at
any time. The meter provides broad-band results such as Leq, Max, Min and Peak with all
standard weighting filters together with an incredible time-history logging feature with two
adjustable logging steps.

One unique feature of the SVAN 977A is ultrasound measurement band up to 40 kHz. The
ultrasound band is normally considered as the frequency range above 20 kHz. Ultrasound is
used in a number of industrial processes such as cleaning, drilling or welding as well as hospitals
for medical procedures.

The built-in Bluetooth® interface together with smart-phone application, SvanMobile, extends
measurement capabilities with all the features offered by smartphones including text/voice
comments, photo, video, GPS position etc.

With the option of time signal recording SVAN 977A can record the raw signal samples with
defined frequency up to 48 kHz. Analysis of the raw signal is used whenever frequency analysis
is not sufficient. Post-processing of high quality wave files (48 kHz, 24 bit) such as calculation of
tonality is available in SvanPC++ program. Time signal is recorded in a wave format which
means that it can be played back in the PC software and used for noise source recognition
(audio recording).

The SVAN 977A kit consists of SVAN   977A Class 1 sound & vibration level meter with a
detachable preamplifier SV 12L and high quality omni-directional SV  7052E microphone,
compliant to IEC61094-4. The list of accessories includes: SA 143 carrying case, SA  22
windscreen, 8 GB microSD card, four AA batteries, USB cable, and CD with user manual. Each
SVAN     977A has its factory calibration certificate and 36 months warranty card.
With an optional microphone and 1/3 octave or FFT analysis SVAN    977A provides analysis of
the ultrasounds up to 40 kHz. The ultrasound band is normally considered as the frequency
range above 20 kHz. Limits of permissible ultrasound levels are usually expressed in terms of
Leq and Max values specified in 1/3 octave bands for 20 kHz, 25 kHz, 31.5 kHz and 40 kHz.

Applications:

  • Sound measurements
  • Environmental noise
  • Occupational noise
  • Building acoustic
  • Ultrasound/infrasound
  • High level/low level noise
  • Machine vibration
