Safety notes

WARNING

The AM 232 Manual Audiometer is designed to be used

with a hospital grade outlet. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment

can result when a three-prong or two-prong adapter is connected be-

tween the AM 232 Manual Audiometer power plug and an AC outlet or

extension cord. Additionally, the AM 232 Manual Audiometer is equipped

with a specific power transformer which should not be interchanged with

any other transformer or supply.

This symbol indicates the location of a service adjustment part and

is intended for service personnel only. The AM 232 Manual Audiometer is

a specifically calibrated audiometer and the periodic service and adjust-

ments for the instrument that may be required should be done only by an

authorized Welch Allyn service technician.

CAUTION

The AM 232 Manual Audiometer is designed to comply

with the EMC requirements according to IEC 60601-1-2.

Radio transmitting equipment, cellular phones, etc. shall not be used in

the close proximity of the device since this could influence the perfor-

mance of the device. Particular precaution must be considered during

use of strong emission sources such as High Frequency surgical equip-

ment and similar device so that e.g., the HF-cables are not routed on or

near the device. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician or your local

representative. Refer to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Guide

on CD 482-638702.

Chapter 1

Introduction

The AM 232 Manual Audiometer is a single-channel, pure tone, air conduction,

portable instrument designed to provide basic audiometric screening capability for

physicians’ offices, schools and industry. The lightweight design allows easy

transport to a variety of testing locations, and the built-in storage cavity and case

provide enough room to contain all instrument accessories. The clearly labeled front

panel controls and full frequency range make accurate, reliable testing a simple matter

for any user.

The AM 232 Manual Audiometer is a precisely designed and calibrated instrument.

With proper care it will deliver accurate sound-pressure levels to subject ears for your

hearing screening program.

Note: The AM 232 Manual Audiometer should be recalibrated yearly (or sooner if a

problem develops). See Chapter 4.

12-16-08

Unpacking and inspection

Although your AM 232 Manual Audiometer was carefully tested, inspected and

packed for shipping, it is good practice after receiving the instrument to immediately

examine the exterior of the container for any signs of damage. Notify your carrier if

any damage is noted.

Carefully remove your AM 232 Manual Audiometer from its shipping container. If

the instrument appears to have suffered mechanical damage, notify the carrier

immediately so that a proper claim can be made. Be certain to save all packing

materials so that the claim adjuster can inspect it as well. As soon as the carrier has

completed the inspection, notify your Welch Allyn representative.

If the instrument must be returned to the factory, repack it carefully (in the original

container if possible) and return it prepaid to the factory for necessary adjustments.

Check that all accessories itemized in Accessories supplied below are received in

good condition. If any accessories are missing, contact Welch Allyn immediately.

See the Specifications section for the catalog numbers of accessories and also for a

listing of optional accessories.

symbol along the top of the front panel, which indicates which is right (RED) and

which is left (BLUE).

4. Turn the power switch to ON.

Note: For battery operation, please refer to Chapter 2.

Pretest procedure

Note: The AM 232 is a versatile audiometer designed for use in doctor offices,

schools, industrial settings, the military, etc. The generic term “subject” used in this

manual is used to identify the person whose hearing is being evaluated.

Any program aimed at obtaining reliable records of hearing thresholds should be

staffed and supervised by appropriately-trained individuals. Training courses

leading to certification are available for audiometric technicians in most urban areas.

Two prerequisites are of particular importance to the procurement of reliable audio-

grams:

• Prior to testing, allow adequate time for the subject to recover from the effects of

a previous exposure to high-level sound.

• Tests should be performed in a quiet area.

Pretest noise recovery period

Exposure to high levels of sound (unmuffled lawn mowers, power tools, loud music,

gunfire, etc.) tends to create a temporary threshold shift (TTS), which diminishes with

time after exposure. Any subject tested soon after such exposure may manifest a

hearing loss that does not reflect the subject’s normal hearing threshold. It is,

therefore, important that the testing procedure prescribe some time interval - usually

at least 16 hours - between the last exposure to high-level sound and the administra-

tion of any hearing test.

12-16-08

Elimination of ambient noise

Excessive noise in the test environment such as that produced by conversation,

typewriters, or other machines also reduces test validity because it tends to mask the

test signals particularly at the lower frequencies where earphone cushions provide

less effective attenuation. An acoustically tested room may be required if ambient

noise at the subject’s ears reaches objectionable levels - i.e., sufficient to cause

apparent hearing loss at the low frequencies. Also, Audiocups are available from

Welch Allyn as an optional accessory. If the test subject is in the same room as the

audiometer, it is recommended that the subject be seated about 1 meter (-3 ft) away

from the instrument.

Maximum permissible test environment sound-pressure levels are specified by

American National Standard Criteria for Permissible Background Noise during

Audiometric Testing, S3.1-1977 (revised). Table 2 shows the maximum background

levels that can be present inside the room while a valid hearing test is being con-

ducted. For more comprehensive information about hearing testing and hearing

conservation, refer to the Bibliography.

Chapter 2

Battery Option

This chapter describes the battery option of the AM 232 Manual Audiometer. It

pertains only to those customers who purchased Models #23210 or #23215 with the

battery pack installed or to those who later purchased the #72329 Battery Pack

Assembly. In both cases, a rechargeable NiCad battery is included.

12-16-08

NiCad BATTERY OPERATION

The AM 232 Manual Audiometer battery option is supplied with an installed,

rechargeable NiCad battery pack. It requires about 18 hours to charge fully, which will

provide about 22 hours of continuous operation. The green LED on the pack itself

illuminates when charging is in progress. The words LO BAT illuminates on the front

panel LCD when the battery charge is getting low, alerting you to recharge the

batteries. When LO BAT appears, the instrument will operate (continuously) for

about two more hours before it shuts down completely.

Note: In no instance will loss of battery power affect the instrument calibration.

To save battery life, the AM 232 Manual Audiometer has a special “Sleep Mode” in

which the instrument will shut down after 5 minutes of no operation. You will know

the instrument is “asleep” because the LCD will show three dash lines (- - -). To

“wake up” the instrument, press the Present bar. There is no danger of presenting a

loud tone to the test subject when the instrument “wakes up” because no tone is

presented until the Audiometer is awake. In addition, the instrument automatically

resets its output to 0 dB HL.

If the AM 232 Manual Audiometer is operated until the battery charge has dropped

below an acceptable voltage level, the instrument will cease to function. The display

will be blank except for the LO BAT indication, and the controls will cease to

function. To restore operation, the batteries must be recharged for some period of

time, up to 18 hours (full charge), or line power (mains) may be used. If the Audiom-

eter is operated off of line power (mains) with the rechargeable batteries in place,

some battery charging will occur.
