Measurement Range
One of the most important features of a Sound Level Meter is the measurement range.
If the measurement range is set too high, the instrument may not be able to record low
levels. If the measurement range is set too low, high noise levels will overload the
instrument and make the measurement invalid.
Therefore it is vital that the correct measurement range is chosen for the noise to be
recorded.
To check the current measurement range, press the Range key.

The current measurement range is
40dB to 110dB.
The measurement range in this example is 40dB to 110dB. If the noise level is below
40dB, the instrument will indicate Under-Range. If the noise level is above 110dB, the
instrument will indicate Overload. See page 54 for an explanation of Overload and
Under-Range.
