Calibration Control

This is a screwdriver-adjusted control, which alters the input sensi-
tivity of the instrument. A small flat bladed screwdriver, no larger
than 2mm, should be used when calibrating the instrument. Cali-
bration should only be carried out in conjunction with a known
sound source.

Output Socket

This socket is designed for use with chart recorders and similar
equipment. A 3-pin LEMO connector (type FGGOB303CLAD52Z)
must be used to connect external equipment.

Overload LED

This indication is on the meter scale and warns when the selected
range is exceeded. In such an overload situation, frequency analysis
is distorted as the signal is clipped. Generally this can be avoided
be choosing a higher range.

Please note the overload indicator detects the overload conditions in
all critical points of the instrument and it is possible to have such a
situation without a high reading shown on the analogue meter.
