Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 407355 Personal Noise Dosimeter. The 
407355 is designed to test noise exposure in accordance with OSHA, MSHA, DOD, 
ACGIH, and ISO standards. Fast and easy on-site surveys help determine noise 
reduction requirements. The meter can also be used in SLM (sound level meter) mode 
where sound pressure levels are monitored from 70 to 140dB. The SLM (sound level 
meter) mode has a datalogging feature that can record up to 8800 readings which can 
be downloaded to a PC for analysis. 

Note:

 In DOSIMETER mode, the individual 

measurements are NOT datalogged and cannot be recalled. 
 
The built-in RS-232 PC interface offers the following capabilities: 
 

  In SOUND LEVEL METER (SLM) MODE: The meter can be connected to PC while 

taking measurements so that readings can be stored in a file and readings can be 
viewed in a variety of display configurations (graph, list, etc.). 

 

  In DOSIMETER mode: The meter can perform a noise survey after which the user 

can transfer the survey data to a PC. 

 
Careful use of this device will provide years of reliable service.
