1. INSTRUMENT CHARAKTERISTRICS
DLM-102 is fully digital single range integrating sound level meter with type 1 accuracy. Easy
operation wide range and small dimensions allow measurements of noise in many areas. This
meter is ideal for company health and safety inspector or building inspector controlling building
work. The low price enables use of meter where until now the noise was not evaluated because
of high cost of measuring instruments.
Internal Li-ION battery provides long-term measurements on single charging and easy to read
backlit display allows comfort use in tight dark places.
The large internal memory allows the use of the DLM-102 meter in environmental noise
monitoring and the ability to record the measurement history log with 100ms interval enables
its use also in the assessment of aircraft noise.

2.3. Default instrument settings
Default settings of DLM-101 after instrument turn-on are specified below:
• Frequency weighting A
• Time weighting FAST
2.4. Preparation of the instrument to operation
Connect the microphone to microphone connector. Take off microphone protecting cap. Place
windscreen on the microphone. Using windscreen is recommended regardless of weather
conditions because it gives the microphone additional protection against dust. Turn the
instrument on
Default instrument setup is specified in chapter 2.3. Now it is recommended to perform acoustic
calibration of the instrument as described in chapter 4.3.
After measurements completion turn the instrument off and place protecting cap on the
microphone.
3. OPERATION
All functions of the instrument are invoked using the keyboard but access to functions critical
for measurement is difficult. To activate this function selected key should be hold down for
about 1.5 second
Power of the instrument can be switched on or off by hold down power switch for about
1.5 second.
The scheme of transitions between menu screens is shown on Fig. 3.1. All menus are described in
details in this chapter.

3.1. Instrument data plate
After turning the instrument on initial information is displayed on the screen. This information
contains instrument name firmware version and manufacturer data (name website phone).
After pressing any key results screen will be displayed. If no key is pressed instrument will
switch to the result screen automatically after 15 seconds.
If the internal battery of the instrument has been completely discharged the instrument may
not start immediately after the charger is connected - wait a few minutes then. After starting
before the data plate you will be prompted to enter the current date and time

3.3. Date and time
You can use this menu to check the date and time currently set and change it. When you enter
edit mode set the hour minute second day month and year respectively passing to the next
item with the ENTER key. Pressing ENTER when the year is edited causes saving date and time
and to leave edit mode.
WARNING! It is not possible to set invalid date (e.g. 31-02-2017). In that case, press the
Cancel button and set the date again.

3.4. Measures memory
Using measures memory consists of three actions: save measure load measure and delete
measure. It is also possible to delete all measures but this requires additional confirmation.

3.5. Time history memory
Time history registration means cyclic recording selected quantities into memory measured in
registration period. One to four quantities registration is possible: LXeq LXYmx LXYmn LCpk where X
stands for selected frequency weighting (A or C) and Y stands for selected time weighting (S -
SLOW or F - FAST).
The options screen displays the maximum registration time for selected combination of the
registration interval and number of quantities taking into account available free memory. In
addition you can set the recording interval (period) by selecting one of the predefined values:
100ms 1s 5s 10s 15s 30s 60s and enable or disable the automatic start option.
History registration starts when the measurement is started and ends when it is stopped or
when all available memory is full. If the autostart option is enabled then starting the next
measurement will also start time history recording.
It is possible to delete the last time history or all registered (this requires additional
confirmation).
The maximum time for recording history (with empty memory) is shown in the table below.

3.6. Calibration
Calibration consists of three phases:
• setting reference level – detailed description of the calibration is in chapter 4.3
• coupling acoustic calibrator and running the measurement
• reading the result or error message and accepting it.
Menu screens of each phase are presented below.

4. RECOMENDATIONS FOR INSTRUMENT USE
During instrument use following recommendations should be strictly observed:
• perform all connection changes (connecting or disconnecting of microphone) only when
the instrument is turned off; making these changes when the instrument is turned on
can lead to instrument damage
• protect the microphone against mechanical shocks dust moisture and strong gusts of
wind (use windscreen!).
4.1. Recommendations for correct performing of measurements
Fasten the instrument (or its microphone) to its supporting stand and ensure you are located at
a distance (from the instrument or its microphone) assuring to avoid sound field disturbance.
The measurement range should be chosen so that the meter does not indicate over-range or
under-range condition of the measurement circuit. If the indicated value is less than the lower
limit of the meter's linearity range the correction should be subtracted from the measurement
result. This correction is calculated on the basis of the self-generated noise level read from
calibration certificate using the formula::
(
)
LsLw
L⋅⋅ −⋅= 1.01.0 1010log10
where:
L corrected sound level
Lw sound level read from the meter
Ls self-generated noise level

18
Do not perform measurements if the ambient temperature and humidity combination can lead
to vapor condensation in the microphone.
4.2. Internal battery
The instrument is normally operated with internal battery supply. To charge the battery connect
the charger. Attaching the charger is indicated by lighting LED located near charger connector
and displaying icon on results screen also there is a battery gauge displayed on results screen.
Battery charging in progress is indicated by pulsing LED. If the LED continuously lit it means that
battery is fully charged.
As far as possible before charging the internal battery have to be fully discharged (to
automatically switch off the instrument) - avoid the situation when the battery is often
recharged a little bit beacause it reduces its durability. Continuous operation with connected
charger is possible..
WARNING! If the instrument is not used for more than two months, the battery should be
recharged. This is necessary because of self-discharge of the battery.
WARNING! The battery is charged regardless of whether the instrument is turned on or off!
4.3. Calibration of the instrument
Correct measurement can be performed only when calibrated instrument is used.
Recommended sound calibrator for DLM-102 sound level meter is SONOPAN KA-10 acoustic
calibrator. This device produces calibrated sound signal of 94 dB nominal sound pressure level
and 1000 Hz nominal frequency. Another sound calibrator of class 2 or better producing signal
of nominal sound pressure level and frequency equivalent to KA-10 sound calibrator can be also
used for calibration.
To perform calibration of the instrument correctly:
• enter calibration mode (see chapter 3)
• calculate and set reference level:
Lref = Lkal + ∆Lff
Lkal acoustic calibrator sound pressure level read from its calibration certificate
∆Lff free field correction for ¼” microphone equal to 0 00dB.
• couple calibrator with the microphone and turn it on.
• start the calibration procedure.
• calibration will be conducted automatically after a moment you will get the result to
accept.
• if an error message appears remove the cause of an error and repeat the measurement.
• after accepting calibration result turn off and decouple the calibrator.
• meter is ready to measurement.
WARNING! During calibration the instrument together with the calibrator shall not be
exposed to noise higher than nominal sound pressure level of sound calibrator in use or
ground vibration.

Calibration error messages description:
Message Possible cause
Signal out of range
- calibrator turned off
- calibrator poorly coupled
- invalid reference level
- broken microphone.
Unstable reading
- too high background noise level
- strong ground vibrations
- broken calibrator
- broken microphone.
Unknown error - unknown contact service.
