About SVAN 977A

The SVAN 977A is a Class 1 Sound and Vibration meter 20 kHz. Ultrasound is used in a number of industrial
designed for occupational and environmental measurement processes such as cleaning, drilling or welding as well as
applications. It provides broad-band results such as Leq, hospitals for medical procedures.

One unique feature of the SVAN 977A is ultrasound including text/voice comments, photo, video, GPS position
measurement band up to 40 kHz. The ultrasound band etc.
is normally considered as the frequency range above
 Software for SVAN 977A
SvanPC++ is a PC software supporting functions such as measurement data downloading
from instruments to PC, measurement setups creation, basic Leq/RMS recalculation,
measurement results in text, table and graphical form of presentation, export data to a
spread sheet or text editor applications. New version of SvanPC++ software also supports
analysis of wave files from Svantek’s instruments (for example calculation of tonality).

Supervisor is a dedicated software for determination of occupational noise & vibration

exposure. It supports data download, instrument configuration and provides tools for
reporting. The data files from the SVAN 977A can be used for calculation of all required
measurement results and uncertainties in accordance to measurement strategies
described in ISO 9612.

SvanMobile is an application for Android devices that uses the Bluetooth® connection to
control the SVAN 977A. It allows the user to trigger measurements, edit settings, rename
files and view the results remotely. Anyone who makes measurements in the environment will
appreciate the ability of SvanMobile to automatically add weather data and GPS position to
the measurement report. SvanMobile also allows to link measurement files from the sound
level meter to media files from the smartphone such as photos, video or audio recordings.

Optional functions
TIME DOMAIN SIGNAL RECORDING means recording the raw signal samples with defined
frequency up to 48 kHz. Analysis of the raw signal is used whenever frequency analysis
is not sufficient. Post-processing of high quality wave files (48 kHz, 24 bit) such as
calculation of tonality is available in SvanPC++ program. Time domain signal is recorded
in a wave format which means that it can be played back in the PC software and used for
noise source recognition (audio recording).

FREQUENCY ANALYSIS of the signal in 1/1 or 1/3 octave bands allows to determine the
influence of high or low frequencies on overall values. The 1/3 octave can be also used
for the assessment of tonality in accordance to ISO 1996-2 (simplified method). It can be
activated at any time by ordering the activation code.

With an optional microphone and 1/3 octave or FFT analysis SVAN 977A provides analysis
of the ULTRASOUNDS up to 40 kHz. The ultrasound band is normally considered as
the frequency range above 20 kHz. Limits of permissible ultrasound levels are usually
expressed in terms of Leq and Max values specified in 1/3 octave bands for 20 kHz, 25
kHz, 31.5 kHz and 40 kHz.
