Measurement Preparation

•Read the following safety information before attempting to operate the meter

•Use the meter only as specified or the meter's built-in protection may be impaired.

Maintenance & Cleaning

•Service not covered in this manual should be performed by qualified personnel

•Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Battery Replacement

When the battery voltage drops to a critical level, the symbol appears on the LCD. Replace

batteries as soon as possible after the battery symbol appears. The batteries (4 AA) are located

in the rear battery compartment. Remove the single Philips head screw (center rear) for access

to the batteries.

Measurements

Default Configuration

1. The meter's default configuration is as follows: 40 to 90dB, 'A' Frequency Weighting, and

'FAST' Response Time

2. The LCD will reflect the meter's configuration.

Measurement Considerations

1. Use a windscreen to cover the microphone in windy conditions.

2. Calibrate the meter often, especially if the meter has not been used for a long time.

3. Do not store/operate the meter in high temperature/humidity for long periods of time.

4. Keep the meter and the microphone dry.

5. Avoid severe vibration when using the meter.

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

Frequency Weighting

Change the Frequency Weighting by pressing the 'A/C' button. The 'A' or 'C' icon will displayon

the right-hand area of the LCD.

Note: With ‘A’ weighting selected, the meter responds like the human ear (boosting and cutting

the noise amplitude over the frequency spectrum - see Appendix). ‘A’ weighting is used for

environmental measurements, OSHA regulatory testing, law enforcement, and workplace

design. Select ‘C’ weighting for flat response measurements (no boost or cut). ‘C’ weighting is

suitable for the sound level analysis of machines, engines, etc. Most OSHA related testing is

performed using 'A' Weighting and SLOW Response Time settings.

Response Time

Change the Response Time by pressing the 'FAST/SLOW' button. The 'FAST' or 'SLOW' icon

will display on the upper area of the LCD.

Note: Select FAST to capture noise peaks and noises that occur very quickly. In FAST mode,

the meter responds in 200ms. Select the SLOW Mode (meter responds in 500ms) to monitor a

sound source that has a reasonably consistent noise level or to average quickly changing

levels. Selection of Fast or Slow is determined by the application and any directives or

standards related to that application.

Auto/Manual Range

Press the LEVEL button up arrow to scroll through the following ranges: 30-80dB, 40-90,

50-100dB, 60-110, 70-120, 80-130 and 30-130dB (auto). The display will reflect the range for

each button press.

Notes:

Use Auto Range when the noise source is relatively steady. Use one of the Manual

ranges may be required if the dB levels are changing over a wide range.

Model 407764 Version 1.4 December 2004

Operation

1. Power the meter and select the desired Response Time (Fast or Slow) and Frequency

Weighting (A or C).

2. Select the desired range.

3. Hold the instrument comfortably in hand or position on tripod. Point the microphone

toward the noise source, the sound pressure level will be displayed on the meter’s LCD

display.

4. When MAX (maximum hold) mode is selected by pressing the MAX key, the instrument

captures and holds the maximum noise level reading on the display. Press the MAX key

again to clear the MAX reading.

Calibration

Note that a Sound Level Calibrator is required. Set up the meter as listed in Step 1 below.

To calibrate the meter;

1. Display: SPL (dBA)

Response Time: FAST

Disable the MAX function

Range: 70 to 120dB.

2. Insert the microphone carefully into the sound

level calibrator.

3. Power the calibrator and adjust the Sound Level Meter’s

CAL potentiometer (as shown in figure at right) to match

the Calibrator’s output.

4. Typically, a Sound Level Calibrator will supply 94dB

or 114dB at 1KHz. Adjust the Sound Level Meter’s CAL

potentiometer for a 94dB or 114dB LCD display

(Figure-3)

Analog output

The 407764 has two analog output jacks located on its right side; one for AC and one for DC.

For DC, the meter transmits 10mv / dB. For AC the full scale value is 0.707V. The output

impedance is 600Ωfor AC and 100Ωfor DC.

The supplied 3.5mm stereo mini-plug can be used to assemble a cable to connect to either of

the meter’s analog output jacks. When using a stereo plug, like the one supplied, short the Tip

and the Ring (see diagram below). Ground (negative) connects to the Sleeve while the positive

signal is taken from the Tip/Ring. For mono plugs, ground connects to the Sleeve while the

positive signal is taken from the Tip. The meter output can then be transmitted to a chart

recorder, datalogger, or other data storage device.

DataLogging

The internal memory of the meter can store up to 16,000 reading in up to 255 recording

sessions (called sets). Prior to beginning data storage, the meter’s real time clock and the

datalogger’s sample rate must be set using the supplied software. The clock is set in the

Control Panel window and the sample rate is set in the Logger window.

1. Set the real time clock (if required).

2. Set the sample rate (if required).

3. To record data, press & hold the RECORD key for 3 seconds until the “RECORD” symbol

flashes once per second on the LCD. Press the Record key again to stop recording data.

4. If the recording memory is full, the “FULL” symbol will appear on the LCD.

5. To clear the recording memory press and hold the RESET key and power the meter. The

LCD will show the “dEL” icon letting the user know that the datalog memory has been

cleared.

6. To Download or Record data via a PC refer to the PC Interface section below.

PC Interface

Connecting the Meter to a PC

Refer to Figure 5. Connect the 9-pin male connector to the Sound Level Meter, and connect the

9-pin female connector to the 9-pin COM1 PC port. If COM1 is used by the mouse, connect the

25-pin female connector to the 25-pin COM2 PC port (you’ll need to use the included 9- to

25-pin adapter).

PC Requirements (figure 5)

•486 IBM compatible PC or better

•One 3.5" high density disk drive

•Available serial port.

•4M Bytes H.D. storage space

•EGA or VGA monitor

•Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP Operating System

•3-button or 2-button Microsoft compatible

mouse. At least a 486 PC is recommended

for displaying all software windows with a

fast sampling rate (such as 1 second). If a 386/25 PC is used, you can only open one

window (LIST, GRAPH, ANALOG) at a time when using fast sampling rates.

Installing the Windows Application Program

Follow the instructions on the disk for installation. When installing the software, please use the

Visual Basic version (VB) on installation CD.
