Introduction
1.1 About This Manual
This instruction manual for Sound Level Meter Type 2255 with Microphone Type 4966 has been
created to fulfil the documentation requirements of the national and international standards
that the sound level meter and this microphone conform to. These standards are listed in
section 4.2.
For other microphone configurations, there are a number of supplements to this manual that
give the relevant information for those configurations.
Other documentation and sales material will also contain specifications for the sound level
meter. In the event of any unintended inconsistencies between these and the specifications in
this instruction manual, the instruction manual takes precedence.
Appendix B of this manual provides cross-references between specific paragraphs in the
standards that require topics to be documented and the corresponding sections in this manual
that conform to them.
The PC and smart device software contain online help including user help for the sound level
meter.

Short Guide to the Sound Level Meter
2.1 Introduction
This chapter contains a brief guide to the use of the sound level meter.
The user interface of the sound level meter has:
• A screen for displaying settings, results and status
• A keyboard for navigating on the screen, changing settings and controlling the
measurement
• A colour-coded light ring that reflects the status of the instrument
Press and hold for at least 4 seconds to switch off the sound level meter.
The sound level meter holds a complete setup per setup mode – changing to another setup
mode will load the corresponding setup and re-initialize the program. This is done within 20 s.
The acoustical frequency response and calibration depends on the sound field, the microphone,
the microphone accessories in use, and the electrical frequency response. To improve the
quality of the measurement and help the user to measure correctly, the sound level meter
compensates for the sound field, the microphone and the microphone accessories in use by
automatically changing the electrical frequency response and calibration.
Hint: To ensure correct and good quality measurements, it is VERY IMPORTANT that
parameters in Measurement settings are correct.
Go to Measurement settings > Statistical parameters to select the Basis parameter for the
broadband statistics (LAeq, LAF, or LAS) and spectrum statistics (LXF, LXS, LXeq) and up to
five percentiles.
Go to Measurement settings > Audio recording to enable audio recording in Listen quality
(MP3-files). or in Analysis quality (FLAC files) and select your preferred trigger conditions for
the recording.
Data will be removed from Trash when space is needed (that is,
when more than 80% of disk space is used).
Give your sound level meter a Nickname to identify it (in addition to the serial number) when
accessing it from a network interface.
You can also define a password for accessing the instrument through Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
By enabling Web server display, you can see the display of the sound level meter in an Internet
browser by entering the sound level meter’s IP address/display, for example 10.42.0.1/display.
Use Reset network settings to clear all network settings. The sound level meter will forget all
networks it was connected to.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 18 of 133
Go to System settings > Network settings > Ethernet settings to define the interface settings
for using a cable – either a USB-C to USB (connected directly to a PC) or a USB-C to Ethernet
(connected to LAN).
Go to System settings > External devices to output an
analogue signal on the USB-C socket through USB-C to 3.5 mm
(Mini) Jack Adapter AO-0846.
Select Voltage output and the input signal to be output for
testing purposes, or LXF as a "DC"-output.
Select Weather station as Vaisala
The Vaisala comes in two variants:
• MM-0316 – for measurement of wind speed and wind
direction
• MM-0256 – for measurement of wind speed, wind direction,
ambient temperature, ambient pressure, relative humidity and
rainfall
The Vaisala weather station is connected to the sound level meter using USB Adapter ZH-0698
and a USB-C to USB-A female adapter.

2.3.5 Status
Go to Status to see the Battery and Disk info status:
The small icon at the bottom left corner of the display gives a
quick view of the battery status. This icon is on all displays.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 20 of 133
2.4 Calibration
Calibration is an adjustment of your sound level meter to measure and display correct values. The sensitivity
of the microphone as well as the response of the electronic circuitry can vary slightly over time or could be
affected by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. While you are unlikely to ever
experience a large drift or change in sensitivity with the sound level meter, it is nevertheless good practice
to perform regular checks of the calibration, normally before and after each set of measurements.
It is strongly recommended to use HBK Sound Calibrator Type 4231.
4) Navigate to Calibration. Press ▷ on the sound level meter to enter Calibration settings and enter the
Calibrator serial no. using the up/down (△ / ▽) buttons to change the number.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 21 of 133
6) Fit Sound Calibrator Type 4231 carefully onto the microphone of the sound level meter. To avoid
handling vibrations that disturb the calibration, rest the assembly in a roughly horizontal position on
a table or other flat surface.
Ensure that the calibrator fits snugly on the microphone.
7) Switch on the calibrator. Wait a few seconds for the level to stabilize.
8) Press on the sound level meter to confirm the start of calibration.
9) Detecting signal appears on the screen as feedback. When the signal has been detected and verified
for a while, then the sensitivity is calculated. For a known microphone type the calibration process will
proceed with doing a CIC check – otherwise it will continue at step 12.
10) Switch off the calibrator and ensure quiet conditions and press on the sound level meter to
confirm the start of CIC check.
11) The CIC check will run for approximately 20 s and then show the result.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 22 of 133
12) The result of the calibration and the CIC are displayed on the screen together with deviations from
the last and initial calibrations.
4) Fit Sound Calibrator Type 4231 carefully onto the microphone of the sound level meter. To avoid
handling vibrations that disturb the calibration, rest the assembly in a roughly horizontal position on
a table or other flat surface.
Ensure that the calibrator fits snugly on the microphone.
5) Switch on the calibrator. Wait a few seconds for the level to stabilize.
6) The sound level meter will detect the signal and verify that you want to perform a calibration check.
7) Press on the sound level meter to confirm and start the calibration check.
8) Detecting signal appears on the screen as feedback. When the signal has been detected and verified,
then the sensitivity is calculated and displayed on the screen together with deviations from the last
and initial calibrations.
Please note: You can disable the automatic calibration check in System settings > Advanced
settings > Calibration.
Press again to reset the measurement and display, ready for a new
measurement.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 25 of 133
Please note: Use ◁ / ▷ while in the measurement displays to toggle the (main) parameter in the
display without going into the Display settings.
In the Spectrum and Profile displays, you can also:
• Press and hold ◁ or ▷ to move the cursor
• Press and hold △ to zoom the y-axis
The About data display shows the preconditions for the measurement.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 26 of 133
The internal disk can hold up to 1,300,000 single measurements with just one broadband parameter, or up
to 800,000 single measurements with all broadband parameters, including broadband and spectral statistics
and ten 1/3-octave spectra.
The internal disk can hold:
• 724 years logging of a single parameter with 1 s intervals, or
• 2 years logging of all broadband parameters, including broadband statistics and ten 1/3- octave
spectra with 1 s intervals, or
• 100 days when audio recording in listen quality is stored too, or
• 17 days when audio recording in analysis quality is stored too.
The optimum position for the microphone is best found by trying different positions and observing the
resulting sound levels.
For outdoor noise measurements (or indoor measurements exposed to air movement), mount Windscreen
UA-1650 onto the microphone and preamplifier combination, ensuring it snaps into place over the
windscreen sensor.
It is good practice to measure downwind in dry conditions with a wind speed less than 5 m/s.
It is recommended to place the microphone/sound level meter on a tripod.
If Ltot – Linh is less than 3 dB, the sound level is too low to be compensated.
Fig. 2.1 Error from self-generated noise
Fig. 2.1 shows the error on the measured sound levels from the presence of self-generated noise. The curve
can also be used for compensation by subtracting the error from the measured sound levels. This is
equivalent to using the formula.

The primary source to the vibration sensitivity is the microphone. It is most sensitive to vibrations coming
from a direction perpendicular to the diaphragm.
To reduce this problem, the microphone/sound level meter should be mounted isolated from the vibrations
if measurements are taken at places where there are strong vibrations.
Overload
For instantaneous measurements, the Overload indication is displayed as long as the overload condition
exists, or for 1 second, whichever is greater.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 31 of 133
Overload is indicated as a flashing (colour: red) on the screen and by a flashing red light ring. Overload
is common to all results of instantaneous measurements.
Underrange
The Underrange indication, (colour: yellow), is displayed as long as the underrange condition exists, or
for 1 second, whichever is greater.
The Underrange condition is present if any measurement of time-weighted sound level, time average
sound level, or sound exposure level is less than the specified lower limit of a Linear Operating Range.
where:
• τ is the exponential time constant in seconds for time-weighting F or S
• ξ is a dummy variable of time integration from some time in the past, as indicated by –∞ for the
lower limit of the integral, to the time of observation t
• px(ξ) is the x frequency-weighted instantaneous sound pressure
• p0 is the reference sound pressure, equal to 20 μPa
The exponential time constants are stated in Table 2.2.
Table 2.2 Exponential time constants and corresponding averaging times

The I time-weighted sound level is a continuous function of time and is expressed in decibels (dB). LAI(t) is
not displayed but is the base for LAImax(T).
These measurements are only executed when is pressed and are paused when is pressed again
or when has been pressed or when Preset time has expired, whichever occurs first. The time interval
between start and pause/stop is the Elapsed time indicated as Elapsed. During the measurement time
interval, intermediate results are displayed as if the measurements were paused at the time of display.
When the measurements are paused/stopped, the set of results, including Latched overload (colour:
magenta) are automatically stored and this is held on the display until either is pressed again, or a
new measurement is started.
Press during a stopped measurement to reset the latched overload and to reset all time-weighted
sound levels to zero (–∞ dB). From this, the time-weighted sound levels increase to their current values.
The timed measurements derived from time-weighted sound levels (for example, Minimum Time-weighted
Sound Level, Maximum Time-weighted Sound Level, Equivalent Continuous I- weighted Sound Level,
Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel, and Statistics) are first valid after this has settled. The settling time is less
than 1 second for Fast-weighting and less than 2 seconds for Slow-weighting. Therefore, it is recommended
to wait a couple of seconds after a reset before starting the measurement. Measurement of Equivalent
Continuous Sound Level, Sound Exposure Level, and Peak Sound Level are not influenced by this start-up
settling after a reset.
Please note: Changing microphone, windscreen, or weightings will also prompt a reset.
Latched Overload
For the timed measurements, a latched overload indication is displayed and included in the set of results
if the overload condition exists at any time during the measurement time interval. The latched overload is
indicated by a magenta triangle on the screen. The latched overload is common to all the results of the
timed measurements.
where:
• ξ is a dummy variable of time integration over the averaging time interval
• px(ξ) is the x frequency-weighted instantaneous sound pressure

The symbols used by the sound level meter for equivalent continuous sound levels are (for A, B, C, and Z
frequency weighting):
LAeq, LBeq, LCeq, LZeq
Equivalent Continuous I-weighted Sound Level
The equivalent continuous I-weighted sound level (also called average I-weighted sound level), LxIeq(T), is
defined as ten times the logarithm to base ten of the mean of ten to the power of the I time-weighted
sound level, LxI(t), divided by ten during a time interval. The time interval is starting at t = T and ending at
t = T + Δt
where:
• x is A for A-weighted
• T is the start time of the measurement, indicated as Started
• Δt is the averaging time interval, indicated as Elapsed
The equivalent continuous I-weighted sound level is expressed in decibels (dB). In symbols, the equivalent
continuous I-weighted sound level, LxIeq(T), is given by:
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 35 of 133
where ξ is a dummy variable of time integration over the averaging time interval.
The symbol used by the sound level meter for A-frequency-weighted equivalent continuous I-weighted
sound levels is:
LAIeq
Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel
The Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel, LAFTeq(T), is defined as ten times the logarithm to base ten of the mean
of ten to the power of the Taktmaximalpegel, LAFT(Tn), divided by ten during a time interval. The time
interval is starting at t = T and ending at t = T + N ·Δt
where:
• T is the start time of the measurement, indicated as Started
• Δt is the Taktzeit, equal to 5 seconds
• N ·Δt is the averaging time interval, indicated as Elapsed
The Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel is expressed in decibels (dB). In symbols, Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel,
LAFTeq(T), is given by:
The symbol used by the sound level meter for Taktmaximal-Mittelungspegel is:
LAFTeq
Sound Exposure Level
The sound exposure level, LxE(T), is defined as ten times the logarithm to base ten of the ratio of integral of
the squared sound pressure during a time interval to the reference sound exposure – sound pressure being
obtained with a frequency weighting, x. The time interval is starting at t = T and ending at t = T + Δt
where:
• x is A for A-weighted, B for B-weighted, C for C-weighted, or Z for Z-weighted
• T is the start time of the measurement, indicated as Started
• Δt is the averaging time interval, indicated as Elapsed
The equivalent continuous sound level is expressed in decibels (dB). In symbols, the equivalent continuous
sound level, LxE(T), is given by:
where:
• ξ is a dummy variable of time integration over the averaging time interval
• px(ξ) is the x frequency-weighted instantaneous sound pressure
• E0 is the reference sound exposure, equal to (20 μPa)2×(1 s) = 400×10–12 Pa2s
The sound exposure level LxE(T) can also be expressed in terms of the equivalent continuous sound level
Lxeq(T) and Elapsed as:
The symbols used by the sound level meter for sound exposure levels are (for A, B, C, and Z frequency
weighting):
LAE, LBE, LCE, LZE
Peak Sound Level
The peak sound level, Lxpeak(T), is defined as twenty times the logarithm to base ten of the ratio of the
greatest absolute instantaneous sound pressure, px(t), within a time interval starting at t = T and ending at
t = T +Δt, to the reference sound pressure, p0, instantaneous sound pressure being obtained with a
frequency weighting, x
where:
• x is A for A-weighted, B for B-weighted, C for C-weighted, or Z for Z-weighted
• px(t) is the x-frequency-weighted instantaneous sound pressure
• p0 is the reference sound pressure, equal to 20 μPa
• T is the start time of the measurement, indicated as Started
• Δt is the measuring period, indicated as Elapsed
The maximum peak sound level is expressed in decibels (dB).
The symbols used by the sound level meter for peak sound levels are (for A, B, C, and Z frequency
weighting):
LApeak, LBpeak, LCpeak, LZpeak
Average Sound Level
Average Sound Level with Time Weighting S and Exchange Rate Q = 4 or 5. The exchange rate is the
increase in noise level that corresponds to a doubling of the noise level. This is a widely used occupational
health noise parameter in the USA, corresponding to the LAeq used otherwise.
The symbols used by the sound level meter for average sound levels are (for exchange rates 4 and 5):
LavS4, LavS5
Statistics
Statistics can be based on sampling the continuous output of the A-weighted exponential detectors F every
16 ms, S every 125 ms, or the 1-second linearly averaged results LAeq. The samples are divided into 0.2 dB
classes in which the frequency of appearance is counted. Based on the counted frequency distribution the
percentile sound levels (also called the exceedance levels) LAyN are calculated.
• y is F for Fast-weighted or S for Slow-weighted and nothing for LAeq
• N is a percentage between 0.1 and 99.9. It notes the percentage of time that the indicated noise level
was exceeded during the measurement period
The symbols used by the sound level meter for instantaneous time-weighted sound level spectra are (for
A, B, C, and Z frequency weighting and F and S time weighting):
LAF, LAS, LBF, LBS, LCF, LCS, LZF, LZS
Overload is common to the broadband measurements.
During measurement, overload is indicated with a flashing red triangle and a flashing red light ring. The
indication is displayed as long as the overload condition exists or for 1 second, whichever is greater.
The final result of the measurement contains an indication with a magenta triangle if there have been
any overloads during the measurement.
If an overload condition exists, some of the input signal is clipped away and thus will be missing in the
broadband results, which becomes too small. In the spectrum measurements, due to the distortion of the
signal, some of the missing signal is placed in other bands.
Sound Level Meter Type 2255 – Instruction Manual Page 38 of 133
2.15.2 Underrange
Underrange indicates that one or more of the measured quantities time-weighted sound level, time-
averaged sound level, or sound exposure level is momentary below the specified lower limit of the Linear
Operating Range. The decision on whether there is an underrange condition is made and displayed every
1 second and is based on the results for the last 1 second.
Underrange is indicated with a yellow triangle . The underrange indicator appears regardless of the
displayed parameter in the measurement screen and it is determined by the selected broadband
parameter. To ensure the underrange symbol is displayed for the associated frequency weighting, it is
necessary to select a single frequency weighting under Measurement settings > Broadband parameters.
Underrange is only indicated on the screen during measurement. No underrange information is saved with
the final result of the measurement.
The underrange indication does not account for the influence of self-generated noise from the microphone
because the specifications for the lower limit of the Linear Operating Range apply for measurements of
electrical signals inserted into the preamplifier through the applicable input device. This makes the
underrange indication a dubious indicator of the quality of the measurement.

Chapter 3
Conformance Testing
3.1 Introduction
This chapter contains the information needed to conduct conformance testing according to the specified
standards.
In System settings > Advanced settings > Microphones, select the connected microphone, press on
the sound level meter and select Edit from the menu. Change Type from 4966 to Unknown.
In this way, an uncompensated electrical frequency response is ensured. Alternatively, the specified
Microphones can be used.
In Measurement settings > Input, the following shall be selected:
• A 4966 microphone in Microphone
• Free-field in Sound field
• Disabled in Windscreen detect
• None in Windscreen type
In this way, an uncompensated electrical frequency response is obtained by subtracting the column
Electrical Response (Table A.2 – Table A.5) from the result.
The adjustment data, according to IEC 61672-1 paragraph 5.2.4, for Microphone Type 4966 with Sound
Calibrator Type 4231 is 93.92 dB for the 94 dB setting of the calibrator. This value is built into the firmware
when Microphone is set to 4966 and Calibrator to Type 4231 in the user interface.
In addition, ensure that in Measurement settings > Input, the following shall be selected:
• Disabled in Windscreen detect
• None in Windscreen type
• The sound level meter can be mounted using Tripod Extension UA-1651. The tripod extension stem
is screwed into Tripod Adapter UA-2238 and mounted on the sound level meter. The thread on the
other end of the stem is used to mount the assembly to the test rig.
• The microphone and preamplifier assembly can be mounted separately in the Microphone Holder
UA-1317. The Microphone Holder can be mounted using the tripod mount thread. To minimise the
influence of reflections from the Microphone Holder, bend the holder part to an angle of 45° ±15°
from the straight position.
To prevent the acoustic source from being affected by acoustic noise in the surroundings, the following
method can be used:
1. Insert an acoustic attenuator in the hose close to the microphone, so that the sound pressure within
the greater part of the hose is held far above the surrounding sound level. The acoustic attenuator
can easily be made from a short piece of metal tubing with an outer diameter of ½".
2. Squeeze a piece of tissue paper into the tube and compress it until the desired attenuation is
obtained. Up to 40 to 60 dB of acoustic attenuation can be obtained.
The greatest level of radio frequency emission is radiated from the sound level meter when set up as
follows:
1) Make the connections described in section 3.9.4.
2) Arrange orientation as shown in Fig. 3.3.
3) Start a measurement and let it run during test.
