4.9 Measuring Range
Note: Type 2250 has a single measuring range. The instrument, therefore, has no measuring range (or
level range) controls.
The Upper Limit in the following sections is based on the guaranteed worst-case limit for Type 2250
and the nominal Open Circuit Sensitivity of the microphone. The Overload Limit can, due to tolerances
in Type 2250, be up to 1.5 dB higher than the worst-case limit, but tolerances specified in the Interna-
tional Standards are maintained as long as no Overload is indicated. The Overload Limit is equal to the
Max. Input Level as displayed on the Details tab of the Calibration display, selected from the Main
Menu.
The Lower Limit in the following sections is based on the guaranteed worst-case limit for Type 2250
and the nominal Open Circuit Sensitivity of the microphone, under Reference Environmental Condi-
tions.
4.9.1 Maximum Sound Level
The maximum Sound Level that the Sound Level Meter can accomodate without causing damage to
the Sound Level Meter: 159 dB
4.9.2 Total Range
The difference between the Upper Limit on the least sensitive level range, and the lowest sound
pressure level measurable on the most sensitive level range, which can be measured at 1 kHz within the
most conservative tolerance limits, specified in the International Standards IEC 60651, IEC 60804 and
IEC 61672–1:
