INTRODUCTION

This Sper Scientific Integrating Sound Datalogger measures the sound 

pressure levels (SPL) according to the specified weighting and integrates 

the weighted SPL over an established length of time, such as an 8-hour 

workday, in order to measure accumulative sound exposure (Leq). Test 

parameters are simultaneously displayed on a large, bright, backlit 

display, featuring 0.1 dB resolution and a bar graph.  Up to 64,000 data 

records can be stored in the meter and saved, graphed, and processed 

on a computer through the USB interface and included software. The 

meter complies with IEC 61672:2013 Class 2 and ANSI S1.4:2014 Type 

2 meter standards.
