Characteristics of A & C.
network
* A weighting :
The characteristic is simulated as
"Human Ear Listing" response.
Typical, if making the environmental
sound level measurement, always
select to A weighting.
* C weighting :
The characteristic is near the "FLAT"
response. Typical, it is suitable for
checking the noise of machinery (Q.C.
check) & knowing the sound pressure
level of the tested equipment.

Range selector Manual range: 3 ranges ( 30 to 80 dB,
50 to 100 dB, 80 to 130 dB ).
Auto range: 30 - 130 dB.
Time weighting Fast - t= 200 ms, Slow - t = 500 ms,
( Fast & Slow ) * "Fast" range is simulated the
human ear response time.
* "Slow" range is easy to get the avg.
values of vibration sound level.
* The "Fast" & "Slow" response
range are designed to meet IEC 61672
class 2 requirement.
