13. Electric field strength greater than 10 V/m

The CEL-63x instrument has not been tested for field strengths greater than
10 V/m.

14. EMC emissions

When tested, emissions from the CEL-63x instrument were no greater in one
plane or in any mode of operation than another.

15. EMC susceptibility

The CEL-63x instrument has a slightly higher
susceptibility with the Y direction facing the radiating
antenna.

X is the direction of the microphone

Y is the direction to either side of the case

Z is the direction perpendicular to the surface of
the display

10.1 Sound calibrators – Level corrections

Sound level calibrators apply sound pressure to a microphone in a closed cavity.
The microphone‟s response in a free field to a 1 kHz tone will be slightly
different from that of a pressure field. Also, some calibrators are affected by the
physical size of the microphone changing the volume of the calibrator‟s cavity.

The wind screen has an effect on the free-field response at 1 kHz. However, this
can be compensated during calibration.

Examples

The CEL-63x instrument can be calibrated at a nominal level of 94 dB or
114 dB, depending on the type of calibrator used.

If you use a CEL-120/1 or CEL-120/2 calibrator and the certified output
from the calibrator is 113.98 dB, and you intend to use the instrument
