Operation
The sound level meter shows the A-weighted noise level data (A icon [6] on the display). The range is selected automatically (AUTO icon [2])
depending on the current noise level.
During the measurement, keep the microphone facing toward the noise source. Wind blowing across the microphone may distort the
measurement results. Cover the microphone with the windscreen (included) when in operation.
Automatic shutdown mode
When the device is turned on, the automatic shutdown icon [1] is displayed. The automatic shutdown function is turned on by default. If
there is no operation within 10 minutes, the meter will automatically shut down. To cancel the automatic shutdown function, press and
hold the MAX/MIN button, and then press the Power button to turn the device on.
Restart the instrument after shutdown to restore the automatic shutdown function.
MAX/MIN measurement
Pressing the MAX/MIN button once puts the device in MAX mode [3]. In MAX mode, the device shows the maximum data value during
the current measurement cycle.
Pressing the MAX/MIN button twice puts the device in MIN mode [4]. In MIN mode, the device shows the minimum data value during the
current measurement cycle.
To exit the MAX/MIN measurement modes, press the MAX/MIN button and hold it for 2s.
FAST/SLOW time weighting
Press the FAST/SLOW button to choose between the fast (125ms) and slow (1s) time weighting modes. The display will show either the
FAST [10] or SLOW [9] icon, depending on which mode is currently selected.
Select fast time weighting mode to capture noise peaks and quick-emerging noises. This mode is suitable for most applications.
Select slow time weighting mode to monitor sound sources with consistent noise levels and average out the quickly changing noises.
Low battery indication
When the battery voltage is low, the device shows the low battery icon [5]. It is recommended to replace the depleted battery as soon as
possible to avoid inaccurate readings.
