1. PRESENTATION

The C.A 1310 is an integrating sound level meter designed to assess ambient sound and noise and compliant with standards IEC61672-1 class 2 and ANSI S1.4 type 2.

It has many professional and home applications: measuring sound levels in factories, schools, o'ces, airports, studios, auditoriums, etc.

The C.A 1310 is a compact portable instrument that can be held in one hand or, for long-term measurements, mounted on a tripod.

The C.A 1310 can measure and record (memory capacity 64,000 values) sound levels from 30 to 130dB.

If the sound levels of interest are uctuating, the equivalent continuous sound level can be determined, with periods ranging from 10 seconds to 24 hours. It has a USB interface for communication with a PC.

It provides two measurement weighting curves, A and C, to allow for the way the sensitivity of the human ear varies as function of sound frequency. Curve A is the curve commonly used in an industrial environment, while curve C is better suited when low-frequency sounds are of interest.

2. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

2.1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF THE SOUND LEVEL METER

We recommend reading these instructions before any use of the instrument.

■ The sound level meter is a measuring instrument that must be protected from impacts and severe vibrations
■ The microphone in particular must be protected from exposure to water and dust, and must not be stored in a place that is damp and/or too hot
■ We advise against cleaning the microphone

2.2. REMARK CONCERNING MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS

  1. If the difference of level between the absence and presence of the sound to be measured is 10dB or more, the influence of background noise on the measurement can be regarded as negligible. If the difference is smaller than this, a compensation correction (see table below) must be applied to the measurement made to allow for the background noise:
Differences of level (dB)4 5 67 8 9 10
Compensation in (dB)-2.2 -1.7-1.3 -1-0.8-0.7 0
  1. The microphone must be placed at a distance from any sound-reflecting surface, such as a wall or a floor, in order to minimize errors due to possible spurious reflections. During the measurement, hold the sound level meter at arm's length in order to avoid reflections from your own body, and also to allow unobstructed propagation of the sound in all directions.
  2. Make sure that there is no obstacle between the point of measurement and the source of the noise.
  3. Disregard measurement levels that are either too low (sound not significant) or too high (overload).
  4. Wind striking the microphone will produce extraneous noise. If the instrument is used in a windy place, it is best to fit the windscreen ball on the microphone so as not to pick up unwanted signals.

4.1. CHOICE OF FREQUENCY WEIGHTING

The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies, so filters are used to weight or correct the measured levels according to frequency. The C.A 1310 provides two correction curves, A and C. The more widely used is weighting curve A, representing "the international average ear". It is the curve generally used to measure noise levels in an industrial context. The C curve is better suited for detecting the presence of a low-frequency noise (if the level measured is higher in the C setting than in the A setting, it means that the signal contains significant low-frequency components); this curve is well suited to measurement in a musical context.

To change the frequency weighting:

(1) Press the SET key to enter the settings mode, then the ◀ or ▶ key to select the weighting. The “dBA” or “dBC” symbol then appears, blinking.

(2) Choose "dBA" or "dBC" using the ▼ and ▲ keys.

Press the key to confirm.

If you want to abort the setting in progress, press the key to cancel.

CHAUVIN ARNOUX C.A 1310 - CHOICE OF FREQUENCY WEIGHTING - 1

4.2. CHOICE OF RESPONSE TIME

A response time appropriate to the nature of the noise to be measured (brief noise such as the beep of a horn or the cry of an animal, or prolonged noise such as that of an industrial machine) must be chosen. The C.A 1310 provides two response times:

  • FAST (fast response) if the noise is made up of brief pulses or if only the peak values are of interest to you. This is the setting most often used.
  • SLOW (slow response) to measure an average sound level.

To change the response time:

(1) Press the SET key to enter the settings mode, then the ◀ or ▶ key to select the response time. The “FAST” or “SLOW” symbol then appears, blinking.

(2) Choose the appropriate response time using the ▼ and ▲ keys.

Press the key to confirm.

If you want to abort the setting in progress, press the key to cancel.

- When this cursor is selected, it turns into a vertical line when it is moved over the graph, on which you can click to enter an annotation.

You can trace a rectangular zone on the graph using the cursor, to zoom and display details.

The graph has two vertical lines (CURSOR A and CURSOR B). The time and value of the data item is displayed above and to the right of each cursor.

If you move the mouse cursor to cursor A or cursor B, you can drag the latter left or right. There is a slide under cursors A and B. The slide also can be used to move cursor A or B. The statistics are displayed under the slide. They display the starting time, the sampling interval, the number of data items, and the maximum and minimum values of the graph. They also display the maximum, minimum, and mean values between cursors A and B; these data are updated automatically when the cursors are moved.

You can double-click the graph to open a dialogue box. This dialogue box can be used to customize the style of the graph.

And you can also open a context menu by right-clicking the graph (this is impossible on the graph of the data displayed in real time).

You can zoom on the graph with the mouse:

To zoom:

  1. Press the left mouse button and drag the cursor to select the zone to be displayed.
  2. Release the mouse button.

To cancel the zoom, right-click the graph to open a context menu, then select Undo Zoom.
