6) The acceleration level measured by the SC310 will appear on the screen, this
acceleration level is measured without frequency weighting:
7) Verify that the reading value is 140 dB (corresponding to the nominal acceleration
value). The calibrator’s tolerance is 3%; this means that the correct verification
interval value is from 139.7 dB to 140.3 dB.
If the value reading differs from the specified interval then follow the next steps
8) Use the keys
