Sound Level Meter Operation

Meter Power

1. The meter is powered by a 9V battery. The battery compartment is located on the rear

of the meter and the compartment cover is secured by one Phillips screw. When the

battery icon appears on the top left corner of the meter's display, replace the battery.

2. Press the POWER button to turn the meter on. Note that the Meter is equipped with an

Auto Power Off feature that shuts the meter off after 10 minutes. To defeat Auto Power

Off, put the meter in Record mode by pressing the REC MAX/MIN button.

3. Press the POWER button to turn the meter off.

Default Configuration

1. The meter's default configuration is as follows: Auto Range, 'A' Frequency Weighting,

and 'FAST' Response Time

2. The lower portion of the LCD will reflect the meter's configuration, i.e., 'A', 'Fast', 'Auto'.

Measurement Considerations

1. Use a windscreen (not included) to cover the microphone in windy conditions.

2. Calibrate the meter often, especially if the meter has been idle for a long period of time.

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

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

display on the lower left-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 lower left-hand 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 RANGE button to scroll through the following ranges: Auto, 30-80dB, 50-100dB,

and 80-130dB. The display will reflect the range for each button press.

Calibration

The Sound Level meter should be calibrated before each use; an external sound level

meter calibrator is required. Set the meter to the Manual range (50-100dB), FAST

response and ‘A’ weighting before starting.

1. Place the external calibrator over the Sound Level Meter's microphone and turn the

Calibrator on.

407768 Version 2.0 06/06

2. The meter should read close to, or exactly, the calibrator's dB output level. Typical

Calibrator output levels are 94dB and 114dB.

3. If the meter is within ± 0.2 dB of the calibrator’s output, no adjustment is necessary.

4. Adjust the calibration pot in the output/calibration compartment if necessary to bring the

meter display in line with the calibrator output signal.

Taking Measurements

1. Hold the meter in hand, place it on a desktop (using the rear tilt stand), or mount it on a

tripod using the tripod mount on the rear of the meter.

2. Point the microphone toward the source of noise/sound to be measured.

3. Read the measurement, in dB units, on the LCD display.

Data Hold

1. Press the HOLD button to freeze the displayed reading. The LCD will display the icon

HOLD when Data Hold is engaged.

2. Press the HOLD button to de-activate this feature. The HOLD icon will extinguish.

3. Note that Data Hold is not available while the meter is in the Max/Min Record mode.

Max Hold

1. Press the MAX HOLD button to activate this feature. The LCD will display PH when

Max Hold is engaged.

2. The meter will now display only the highest reading. Each time a higher reading is

encountered the display will update.

3. Press the MAX HOLD button again to de-activate this feature. The PH icon will

extinguish.

4. Note that Max Hold is not available while the meter is in the Max/Min Record mode.

Max/Min Data Recording

The Max/Min feature stores the maximum reading and minimum reading while the user

takes measurements. The Max and the Min readings can later be recalled.

1. Press the REC MAX/MIN button to activate this feature. The LCD will display the icon

REC and the meter will begin monitoring the highest (Max) and lowest (Min) readings.

2. After measurements are made, press the REC button again to view the Max reading.

The MAX icon will appear on the LCD along with the highest reading.

3. Press the REC to view the minimum (MIN) reading. The 'MIN' display icon will appear

on the LCD along with the lowest reading.

4. To exit this mode, press and hold the REC button until the REC indicator

extinguishes.

5. To clear a Max or Min reading, press the HOLD key while viewing either the MAX or

MIN value. Note that exiting the Record mode also clears the MAX and MIN values.

Analog Output

The AC analog output transmits 0.5V AC rms full scale. The output impedance is

600Ω maximum. The mono 3.5mm mini-jack is located in the output/calibration

compartment on the right side of the instrument. Use a phono plug (3.5mm mono) to

connect to the output jack.

407768 Version 2.0 06/06

PC Interface

The optically isolated RS-232 PC Interface port is located in the output/calibration

compartment situated on the lower right side of the meter. The supplied Data Acquisition

Software package includes WindowsTM 95 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP compatible software and a

meter-to-PC interface cable. Instructions for use can be found on the included software

CD.

Important Note on the Automatic Power OFF feature

The 407768 Sound Level Meter has an AUTO POWER OFF feature that turns the meter

off after approximately 10 minutes. This feature must be disabled before starting a

datalogging session to avoid having the meter automatically shut off in the middle of a

session. Disable it by pressing the REC MAX/MIN button to activate the Record mode.

While the meter is in the Record mode, the AUTO POWER OFF feature is disabled.
