Sound Level Calibration 

 

 

being calibrated. 

(4) On the instrument under test, set the level range 

control to the range having 100dB as its upper 

limit if 94dB was selected on the sound level 
calibrator. If 114dB was selected on the sound 
level calibrator, choose a range with on upper 
limit of 120dB. The instrument may be set to 

FAST or SLOW response and C or A weighting. 

(5) Read the level on the instrument under test and 

adjust the sensitivity control for the correct 

indication of the sound level calibrator level 
selected in step. 

(6) When the calibrator is not being used, please 

switch OFF the power to save the battery. 

 
 

CAUTION! 

Ambient sources of noise or vibration can 
cause a false calibration indication; this can be 
especially signification at the lower 84dB level.
