5.STORING AND RECALLING READINGS

5.1 When in        state, you can save the reading 

together with measuring conditions to the 
memory of the meter by pressing the       key. 
Then the icon      changes to 'M' automatically  
while the number of memorized readings 
increases 1. 

5.2 No matter in          state or 'M' state, the 

memorized data can be browsed by depressing 
the         key. The browsing state is marked in 
'R' on display. When in 'R' state, all the 
readings memorized can be recalled by 
depressing the           key or          key.

5.3  To delete the memorized value in memory, 

just enter the browsing state and locate the 
reading to be deleted by the          key or     
key, then depress the        key. If there is an 
"Err0" on the display, it indicates there is no 
reading to delete any more.

6.HOW TO SET THE LEQ TIME?

Leq is used to assess the rms average noise 
level over a preset period of time, often the 
starting point of a noise assessment. To take a 
Leq measurement , the period of time over 
which it is to be made must be selected. The 
longer the period of measurement time, the 
more accurate the Leq reading will be. To set

4.MEASURING PROCEDURE 

4.1Press the         key (Fig.1, 3-20) and release  to 

switch on the power. 

4.2Check whether the function selected is right. 

If not, change it by depressing the        key. 
The default setting is Lp, weighting A, Fast. 

Lp - current sound  pressure level
Leq-  Equivalent  Continuous  A  Sound 

pressure  Level,  i.e.  Arithmetically 
mean value in a period of time set.

L

N

- Statistic analysis, i.e. What percent of 

all  measurement  values  are  larger 
than    or    equal    to    the    alarm  value   
set  by  the user. For setting the alarm 
value, please see page 7. 

4.3 Check whether the weighting is right. If not, 

change it by depressing the       key to select 
'A', '

C

' or 'Flat'.

With  'A'  weighting  selected,  the  frequency 

response  of  the  meter  is  similar  to  the 
response  of  the  human  ear.  'A'  weighting  is 
commonly used for environmental or hearing

regulatory testing and noise Ordinance law . 
'C'  weighting  is  a  much  flatter  response  and 
is  suitable  for  the  sound  level  analysis  of 
machines, engines, etc.

    NOTE:    Weighting  'A'  will  be  automatically   

selected when measuring Leq.

4.4 Use the         key  to select a Fast (125 ms) or a 

Slow (1 second) response time. Select Fast to 
capture noise peaks and noises that occur very 
quickly. Select the Slow response to monitor a 
sound source that has a consistent noise level 
or  to  average  quickly  changing  levels.  Select 
Slow response for most applications.

4.5 The reading is the peak one if the icon `max` 

appears on the Display. The reading is an 
instant value if  `max`  does not show up. The 
appearance of symbol `max` is controlled by 
depressing the         key in the process of 
measurement.
