Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 407730 Digital Sound Level Meter. The

407730 measures and displays sound pressure levels in dB from 40 to 130dB. User

selectable features include Frequency Weighting (‘A’ and ‘C’), Response Time (Fast and

Slow), Max Hold, and Max/Min recording. Careful use of this meter will provide years of

reliable service.

Operation

1. Power the meter by pressing the power button. The meter will begin displaying

sound level readings. If the LCD does not switch on, check the 9V battery located in the

rear battery compartment.

2. Hold the meter away from the body.

3. View the measurement on the meter’s display. If the meter is in the autoranging mode,

the display may briefly indicate “HI” or “LO” if the noise level is above or below the

currently selected range. The meter will change the range as needed to display the dB

level.

‘A’ and ‘C’ Frequency Weighting

Use the ‘A/C’ button to select ‘A’ or ‘C’ frequency weighting.

With ‘A’ weighting selected, the frequency response of the meter is similar to the response

of the human ear. ‘A’ weighting is commonly used for environmental or hearing

conservation programs such as OSHA regulatory testing and noise ordinance law

enforcement. ‘C’ weighting is a much flatter response and is suitable for the sound level

analysis of machines, engines, etc. “A” or “C” icons will appear in the display.

Most noise measurements are performed using 'A' Weighting and SLOW Response.

‘FAST’ and ‘SLOW’ Response Time

Use the ‘F/S’ button to select FAST (125 ms) or SLOW (1 second) response time. Select

FAST to capture noise peaks and noises that occur very quickly. Select the SLOW

response to monitor a sound source that has a consistent noise level or to average quickly

changing levels. “FAST” or “SLOW” icons will appear in the display.

Select Slow response for most applications.

Auto or Manual Ranging

The meter will turn on in the auto-ranging mode and “AUTO” will be indicated on the

display. In this mode the meter will automatically select the best range for the noise level

being measured. If the measured dB level exceeds the range of the meter or the range of

a selected range, “HI” will appear in the display. If the measured dB level is lower than the

selected range, “LO” will appear in the display.

1. Press the RNG button to manually select the range, “MANU” will be indicated on the

display. The four ranges are: 40-70, 60-90, 80-110 and 100-130. Press the RNG button

to step through the ranges.

2. Press and Hold the RNG button for 2 seconds to exit the manual range mode.

MAX HOLD

In this mode the meter only updates the LCD when a higher reading than the one presently

on the display is detected.

1. Press the MAX HOLD button to enter the Max Hold mode.. The “MAX HOLD” icon will

appear in the display.

2. Press the MAX HOLD button again to exit this mode.

MAX/MIN Recording

In this mode the meter records the Maximum and Minimum readings and stores them into

memory.

1. Press the REC button to enter the RECORD mode. The “REC” icon will appear in the

display.

2. Press the REC button again to display the minimum value recorded since the mode was

entered. The “MIN” icon will appear in the display. The meter is not recording during this

time.

3. Press the REC button again to display the maximum value recorded since the mode

was entered. The “MAX” icon will appear in the display. The meter is not recording

during this time.

4. Press the REC button again to display the present dB level and continue recording.

5. Press and hold the REC button until the “REC” icon clears to exit the mode.

Auto-Power Off

The meter will automatically shut off after 20 minutes of operation. To disable this feature:

1. With the meter OFF, Press the and MAX HOLD buttons simultaneously.

2. will appear in the display

3. Release the button and then release the MAX HOLD button.

4. The meter will remain on until the power button is pressed.

Calibration

To calibrate the meter, an external calibrator such as the Extech 407744 or the Extech

407766 is required in addition to a small screw-driver.

1. Turn the meter ON

2. Select the 80 to 110dB range

3. Select ‘A’ weighting and ‘SLOW’ response

4. Place the microphone into the calibrator. Set the calibrator to output a 1kHz sine wave

@ 94dB

5. Adjust the calibration potentiometer for a display as close as possible to the calibrator’s

output

Battery Replacement

When the low battery icon appear replace the battery by removing the screw securing

the rear battery compartment and replacing the 4 AAA batteries.

Tripod Mount

A camera tripod mount is located on the rear of the meter for increased stability and

elimination of body reflections.

Measurement Considerations

1. Wind blowing across the microphone increases the noise measurement. Use the

supplied windscreen to cover the microphone when applicable.

2. Calibrate the instrument before each use if possible. Especially if the meter has not

been used for a long period of time.

3. Do not store or operate the instrument in areas of high temperature or humidity.

4. Keep meter and microphone dry.

5. Avoid severe vibration.

6. Remove the battery when the meter is to be stored for long periods of time.
