The Binaural to Monaural correction on +2dB come from ANSI S3.6 -2004
The difference between 0 - 45 - 90 come from ISO 8253-2 1998.
The maximum free field levels depend on the amplifier, speaker and the acoustic conditions of the room. The actual maximum levels are found
using the Custom Max function in the calibration software.

Adjusting the knobs after reassembly

Before the covers are mounted check the functionality of the knobs
Turn the knob both clockwise and anti-clockwise.
While turning the knob, notice the little square on the screen (see detail picture). The square should ONLY move
after each full click/when it feels like the knob clicks.
Continue with this test, if the square moves before the knob completes one full click.
Hold on to the knob and loosen the nut a little bit.
Hold on to the knob and carefully tighten the

encoder, as shown. Tighten clockwise
AC40 Service Manual
Page 27
Hold on to the knob and fasten the nut.
Check if the other knob has to be adjusted

Press the Mask on/off button, to activate it. Turn knob clockwise and anti-clockwise.
If the knob has to be adjusted, use same procedure as described.
Turn the knob clockwise and anti-clockwise, to see if the knob is correctly adjusted. If not, adjust it again!
Remember! The square should ONLY move after each full click/when it feels like the knob clicks .
Continue with this test, if the square moves before the knob completes one full click.

Calibration Procedure
Service, adjustment and repair
Annual calibration (ANSI/ASA S3.6)
The calibration procedure will validate all relevant performance requirements given in ANSI/ASA S3.6. After the
audiometric equipment has been submitted for calibration, a calibration certificate showing the values recorded
must be filled out, signed and dated by the technician, demonstrating that the instrument conforms to all relevant
requirements given in this standard.
NOTE It is considered good practice to perform annual checks of the audiometric test rooms noise level as part of annual
calibration using the applicable table per ANSI/ASA S3.1 American National Standard Maximum Permissible Ambient Noise
Levels for Audiometric Test Rooms to ensure that audiometer performance will not be affected by any changes in the
audiometric test rooms noise levels.
Annual calibration (IEC 60645-1)

A basic calibration shall be performed by a competent laboratory. The procedure shall be such that, after the
audiometric equipment has been submitted for a basic calibration, it shall meet the relevant requirements given in
IEC 60645-1.
When the instrument is returned after basic calibration, it should be checked in accordance with procedures
outlined in 12.3 or 12.4 before being put back into service.
It is recommended that a calibration check label be attached to the equipment, giving the date on which the next
calibration is due.
Equipment needed to perform audiometer calibrations

1. Type 1 sound level meter Octave band filter set (1/3 octave, range of minimum 125 Hz to 16000 Hz)
must meet Type 1 sound level meter (ANSI S1.4). Sound level meters to be checked before use with a
calibrator.
2. Mechanical Coupler (used for bone conduction calibration) B&K 4930 Artificial Mastoid or other
mechanical coupler. Must meet ANSI S3.13.
3. System to measure:
Frequency
Rise time
Fall time
Duration
Over shoot
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
4. Piston phone or sound level meter calibrator.
Ear Simulator ANSI/ASA S3.7 or IEC 60318-1, Part 1: Electroacoustics - Simulators of human head
and ear - Part 1: Ear simulator for the measurement of supra-aural and circumaural earphones
Acoustic Coupler NBS9A (6cc) ANSI/ASA S3.7, or IEC 60318-3, Part 3: Electroacoustics
Simulators of human head and ear Part 3: Acoustic coupler for the calibration of supra-aural
earphones used in audiometry.
IEC 60318-5, Electroacoustics Simulators of human head and ear Part 5: 2 cm3 coupler for the
measurement of hearing aids and earphones coupled to the ear by means of ear inserts
IEC 60318-6, Electroacoustics Simulators of human head and ear Part 6: Mechanical coupler
for the measurement of bone vibrators
5. Specification / calibration information for all microphones, filters, SLM, and couplers showing correction
values needed to be applied to maintain accuracy.
6. Other couplers and adapters as stated or specified by manufacturer of the audiometer.
7. Calibration reports/sheets that demonstrate the audiometer meets the requirements and records the
measurement results of the calibration.
AC40 Service Manual

Phasing of headphones
Before headphone calibration of DD45/TDH39 take place the phase of the speakers must be checked.
Phasing of the Headset
1.
Start the audiometer in user mode
2.
Select Left ,Tone, Rev. 125 Hz 70dBHL in channel 1.
3.
Connect channel 1 of an oscilloscope to the socket on the left headphone ( set the trigger to
channel 1).
4.
Connect the Left earphone to Left output on the Audiometer and place it on the artificial ear, which
again is connected to a sound level meter.
5.
The sound level meter must be in the range 110 to 115dB.
6.
Connect the channel 2 on the oscilloscope to the output of the sound level meter.
7.
The oscilloscope must display both channels.
8.
Looking at the oscilloscope, notice the phase difference between channel 1 and channel 2.
9.
Exchange the Left earphone plug with the Right earphone plug. Replace Left earphone with Right
earphone on the artificial ear
10. Connect channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the socket on the right speaker.
11. Looking at the oscilloscope, notice if the phase difference between channel 1 and channel 2 is the
same as it was in point 8
12. If the phase difference is identical the headset is correct connected.
13. If not identical, the plug on the headphone must be turned 180 degrees. Make a new control to be
sure that the oscilloscope picture is the same for point 8 and 11.
Calibration of test equipment
All test equipment used for the calibration of audiometers is to be calibrated annually. Calibration of all test
equipment is to be performed by a laboratory which is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) or equivalent. Test equipment calibration documents are to be kept on file.
Calibration Mode Entering
The calibration program is activated by selecting:
Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Interacoustics\Diagnostic Suite\Calibration AD629AC40.exe
Windows 7: C\program files(X86)\Interacoustics\Diagnostic Suite\ Calibration AD629AC40.exe Follow the
instructions on the screen.

Calibration standard for Audiometer

Select Standard to select standard, options IEC or ANSI
Select Calibration method, to select the calibration method, options SPL mode or HL mode
SPL mode: The tab marked standard is default set to SPL (sound pressure level) so you dont have to
take the standard for the transducer you are calibrating into account. For correction of your 6cc or 2cc
coupler/microphone you have to add or subtract from the 90dB SPL level which can be read on your sound
level meter
HL mode: If you select HL (hearing level) you can perform the calibration like on a regular audiometer
where you add the standard to the HL values and then the corrections for your coupler/microphone.
