Sound Level Control w/o Muting System

Model: SLC2

  • Triggering Circuit:
  • This circuit will respond when the SLC1/SLC2 monitors a sound which is over the user's specified level.
  • A switched output control relay and an audio attenuation circuit will be triggered.

  • Switched Output Control:
  • The SLC1/SLC2 provides a rear panel mounted terminal strip to which an installer can connect ancillary equipment suitable for the installation.

The New Model SLC2 is a single rack space Sound Pressure Level meter with special triggering circuits. When monitored sound exceeds a specified level, a relay connected to a switched output is activated. The switched output can then activate connected ancillary equipment which can be used to notify the manager, light a light, ring a bell, or activate a compressor. It can even be used to activate a counter to determine how often sound exceeds the specified level. The choice of ancillary equipment is made by the installer to accommodate the particular situation.
  • Triggering Circuit:
  • This circuit will respond when the SLC1/SLC2 monitors a sound which is over the user's specified level.
  • A switched output control relay and an audio attenuation circuit will be triggered.

  • Switched Output Control:
  • The SLC1/SLC2 provides a rear panel mounted terminal strip to which an installer can connect ancillary equipment suitable for the installation.
  • This terminal strip becomes "active" when the switched output control relay is triggered.
  • Connected equipment can range from a simple light bulb to a heavy duty solid state relay capable of handling multiple announcement devices.

  • Audio Attenuation Circuit:
  • The SLC1 will accommodate two audio channels.
  • The input and output connectors for these channels are hard wired through the unit and will not interfere with the sound quality.
  • If connected, the audio attenuation circuit will reduce the all over sound level by 6db (20%) for a 5 second interval.
  • If the sound level is not reduced the circuit will be repeatedly activated to reduce the sound level for 5 second intervals.
  • The switched output control circuit and the audio attenuation circuit can be utilized simultaneously or independently.

  • The Controls
  • Set: (SLC1/SLC2)
  • The set control is provided to specify the maximum allowable sound level.

  • SPL Weight: (SLC1/SLC2)
  • Measurements can be made in SPL FLAT, A, or C.
  • The Response Control: (SLC1 Only)

  • A potentiometer is provided to determine how quickly the SLC1 will respond to a signal that exceeds the specified level.
  • At minimum the SLC1 is most sensitive and will respond quickly to a small amount of overage.
  • As the control is advanced, it will take longer to respond to the same amount of overage but will respond more quickly to a larger overage.
  • At maximum the SLC1 will take a while to respond to a small overage but will respond relatively quickly to a large overage.

  • Recovery Control: (SLC1 Only)
  • This control has been pre-set by the factory to cover most situations. A cap has been placed over the control.
  • For special applications the customer can remove the cap and re-set this control.
  • The recovery control determines how quickly the SLC1 responds to occasional bursts that exceed the specified level.
  • At minimum the SLC1 will ignore short duration bursts that exceed the specified sound level.
  • As the control is advanced, the SLC1 will retain the effect of shorts bursts longer resulting in a more sensitive response.
  • At maximum the unit will be factoring in any overages regardless of duration.

  • Reset Delay Control: (SLC1 Only)
  • The reset control sets the time interval after the relay is triggered before it will allow the relay to trigger again.
  • The minimum interval is approximately 10 seconds and the maximum interval approximately 120 seconds.
