Operation

Powering the Meter and Configuring the Analog Output

Slide the POWER switch to the ON (DC) or ON (AC) position. The (AC) or (DC) determines

the type of signal present at the analog output jack.

Basic Measurements

Point the microphone toward the source of the sound to be measured. The meter can be

held in hand or mounted on a tripod (tripod mount on rear of instrument). The meter will

now display the sound level in dB.

Selecting ‘A’ or ‘C’ Weighting

Use the Weighting selector switch to select ‘A’ or ‘C’ frequency weighting. Use ‘A’

weighting to have the meter simulate the response of the human ear (the human ear

boosts and cuts sound levels at specific points over the frequency spectrum). ‘A’ weighting

is used for environmental measurements, OSHA regulatory testing, law enforcement, and

workplace design. Select ‘C’ weighting for flat response measurements (the readout does

not boost or dampen the measurement across the frequency spectrum). ‘C’ weighting is

suitable for the operational maintenance and analysis of machinery, motors, pumps,

engines, etc.

Selecting FAST or SLOW response

Use the RESPONSE switch to select Fast or Slow. The setting is determined by the

application and any directives or standards related to the application. For example, most

hearing conservation or OSHA related testing is done using the SLOW setting (with ‘A’

weighting). To capture quick sound peaks, however, use the FAST setting.

Selecting the Measurement Range

Select the measuring range using the ‘dB’ selector switch. If the high (▲) or low (▼)

indicators appear on the display, select a lower range (for ▲) or higher range (for ▼).

Maximum Hold Function

Select MAX HOLD using the RESPONSE selector switch to capture the maximum dB

level. The meter response will be set to FAST. The display will only display the highest

reading in this mode. To reset the Maximum Hold display, press the black reset button on

the bottom of the meter next to the analog output jack.

Calibration

Frequent calibration using an acoustic calibrator is recommended. Follow the instruction

provided with the calibrator.

Battery Replacement

The low battery indication (BAT) appears on the LCD when the 9V battery is nearing

depletion. Reliable readings can be obtained for several hours after the first appearance of

the low battery indication. To replace the battery, slide the battery compartment cover off

the rear of the instrument and replace the 9V battery. Secure the cover before use.
