Sound Calibrator

•  Place the reference microphone in the coupler and 

select the appropriate frequency.

•  Press the calibrator button for about one second 

until the display starts blinking and the LED turns 
red. The calibrator button is accessible through a 
small hole in the left-hand side of the enclosure. 
Use a small rod with a diameter of about 1 mm. 

•  While the display is blinking, press 

Hz

 to increase 

the level or 

dB

 to reduce the sound pressure level. 

The level is changed in step of about 0,02 dB.

Warning!

Never enter the calibration mode without 
access to reliable references.

•  While the display is blinking, press 

Hz

 to increase 

the reading or 

dB

 to reduce the reading. 

•  When the correct value is displayed, press 

°C/°F 

and the value for air pressure start to blink.

•  While the display is blinking, press 

Hz 

to increase 

the reading or 

dB

 to reduce the reading.

•  When the correct value is displayed, press 

°C/°F

 

and the value for humidity start to blink.

•  While the display is blinking, press 

Hz

 to increase 

the reading or 

dB

 to reduce the reading. 

•  When the correct value for humidity is displayed, 

press 

°C/°F

 and the calibration mode is terminated 

and the instrument returns to normal mode of 

 

operation.

• When the correct level is obtained, press the 

 

calibrator button once more for returning to normal  
operation.

The displayed temperature, air pressure and humidity 
may be adjusted in a similar way:

•  Place a microphone in the coupler and select any 

frequency.

•  Press the calibrator button for about one second 

until the display starts blinking and the LED turns 
red. The calibrator button is accessible through a 
small hole in the left-hand side of the cabinet. Use 
a small rod with a diameter of about 1 mm.

• Press 

°C/°F

 and the temperature value starts 

 

blinking.
