1. INSTRUMENT CARE
Do not attempt to remove the mesh cover from the microphone as this will cause
damage and affect the accuracy of the instrument.
Protect the instrument from impact. Do not drop it or subject it to rough handling.
Transport it in the supplied carrying case.
Protect the instrument from water, dust, extreme temperatures, high humidity and
direct sunlight during storage and use.
Protect the instrument from air with high salt or sulphur content, gases and stored
chemicals, as this may damage the delicate microphone and sensitive electronics.
Always turn the instrument off after use. Remove the batteries from the instrument if
it is not to be used for a long time. Do not leave exhausted batteries in the
instrument, as they may leak and cause damage.
Clean the instrument only by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth or, when necessary, with a
cloth lightly moistened with water. Do not use any solvents, alcohol or cleaning
agents.

2. FEATURES
The Sound Level Meter complies with the requirements of IEC 61672-1:2003 standard
for a Class 2 instrument.
The instrument contains several features which permit sound level measurements
under a variety of conditions.
Features include:
Ease of use.
Easy to read large display.
Five measurement ranges.
Fast and Slow time weightings.
A and C frequency weightings.
Storage of up to 32000 measurement records.
RS-232 serial port for downloading records to a computer or real time analysis to a
computer.
Both AC and DC signal outputs are available from a single standard 3.5mm
coaxial socket suitable for use with a frequency analyzer, level recorder, FFT
analyzer, graphic recorder, etc.
3. MEASUREMENT PARAMETERS
The following parameters are used on the instrument.
A →“A” frequency weighting sound pressure level
C→“C” frequency weighting sound pressure level
FAST→Fast time weighting
SLOW→Slow time weighting
SPL →Current time-weighted sound pressure level
SPL MAX →Maximum time-weighted sound pressure level
The various settings depend on the condition the instrument was in before it was last
turned off.

display also shows the operation mode of the instrument, the selected measurement
parameters, warning indications and real-time clock/calendar.
