1. INTRODUCTION
The 4 in 1 digital multi- Multi-Function Environment Meter has been
designed to combine the functions of Sound Level Meter, Light Meter,
Humidit Meter, and Temperature Meter. It is an ideal Multi-Function
Environment Meter Instrument with scores of practical applications
for professional and home use.
The Sound Level function can be used to measure noise in factories,
schools, offices, airports, home, etc., checking acoustics of studios,
auditoriums and hi-fi installations.
The Light function is used to measure illuminance in the field. It is
full cosine corrected for the angular incidence of light. The light
sensitive component used in the meter is a ver Stable, long life
silicon diode.
The Humidit /Temperature is for use a humidit /semiconductor
sensor and K t pe thermocouple. This operations manual contains
general information and specification

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Measuring Sound Level
1. Turn the function Switch to "dB" position.
2. Remove the meter and face the microphone to sound source in a
horizontal position.
3. Press Select Button: Selects A & dB, C & dB, Lo & dB and Hi & dB.
4. The A, C-weighting curve is nearl uniform over the frequenc
range form 30 to 10 KHz, thus giving an indication of overall Sound
level.
5. The Fast response is suitable to measure shout bursts and peak
values form sound source.
6. The sound level will be displa ed.
7. Note: Strong wind (over 10m/sec.) striking the microphone can
cause misreading for measurement in wind locations, a windscreen
should be used in front of microphone.
Measuring Light
1. Turn the function Switch to select the "Lux"
2. Remove the detector and face the photo detector to light source in a
horizontal position.
3. Press Select Button: Selects 20, 200, 2000, 20,000 LUX ranges.
4. Read the illuminance nominal from the LCD displa .
5. Over-range: If the instrument onl displa one "1" in the M.S.D. the
input signal is too strong, and a higher range should be selected.
6. When the measurement is completed. Replace the photo detector
from the light source.
7. Spectral sensitivit characteristic: To the detector, the applied photo
diode with filters makes the spectral sensitivit characteristic almost
meet C.I.E. (International Commission on Illumination) photopia
curve V (λ) as the following chart described.

Measuring Humidity/Temperature
1.Humidit Measurement:
℃ Set the function Switch to "%RH" position.
℃ Then the displa will show the humidit reading value
(%RH) directl .
℃ When the tested environment humidit value changed. It
need to a few minutes to get the stable "%RH" reading.
Warning:
Don't expose the humidit sensor to direct sunlight.
Don't touch or manipulate the humidit sensor.
2.Temperature Measurement:
℃ Set the function Switch to "TEMP"
℃ Press Select Button: Selects "0.1℃ or 1℃ and 0.1℃ or 1℃"
range.
℃ Then the displa will show the environment temperature
reading value (℃/℃) directl .
℃ Insert the temperature probe into the K-t pe thermocouple
socket.

9
℃ Touch the end of the temperature sensor to the area or
surface of the object to be measured. The displa will show
the temperature reading value (℃/℃) directl .
Warning:
When function switch on temperature "0.1℃ or 1℃ and 0.1℃ or 1℃
"range, Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test leads
inserted into the K-t pe thermocouple socket.
You might be injured or damage the meter.
6. MAINTENANCE
Battery Replacement
If the sign "BAT" appears on the LCD displa , it indicates that the
batter should be replaced. Open the batter case and replace the
exhausted batter with new batter . (1 x 9V batter NEDA 1604, 6F22
or equivalent)
