1. INSTRUMENT CARE
Do not attempt to remove the mesh cover from the microphone as this will cause
damage and affect the accuracy of the instrument.
Protect the instrument from impact. Do not drop it or subject it to rough handling.
Transport it in the supplied carrying case.
Protect the instrument from water, dust, extreme temperatures, high humidity and
direct sunlight during storage and use.
Protect the instrument from air with high salt or sulphur content, gases and stored
chemicals, as this may damage the delicate microphone and sensitive electronics.
Always turn the instrument off after use. Remove the batteries from the instrument if
it is not to be used for a long time. Do not leave exhausted batteries in the
instrument, as they may leak and cause damage.
Clean the instrument only by wiping it with a soft, drycloth or, when necessary, witha
cloth lightly moistened with water. Do not use any solvents, alcohol or cleaning
agents.

7. PREPARATION FOR USE
Power Supply
The instrument can be powered by internal batteries, or for extended operation by an
optional external 6V DC supply such as a suitable AC mains adapter or battery pack.
Rechargeable batteries may be used in the instrument, but cannot be recharged when
fitted as the instrument is not designed to recharge batteries.
Before inserting or replacing the batteries and before connecting the AC adaptor, be
sure to turn the instrument off.
1. Battery Installation
When the low battery indication symbol “ ” appears on the display, there is
insufficient power to make accurate measurements and the batteries must be
replaced.
Before replacing the batteries, press the button to turn off the instrument.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw in the battery cover. Remove the cover
from the battery compartment. Retain the screw and cover.
Observing correct polarity as indicated in the compartment, insert four batteries
of the type given in section 4. “Specifications”.
Refit the battery cover and screw. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw.
Press the button to turn on the instrument and check for correct operation.
Note: Take care not to reverse the (+) and (-) polarity when inserting the batteries,
otherwise the instrument may be damaged.
Always replace all four batteries at the same time.
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types.
Remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a month or
longer.
2. Using an external power source.
Insert the plug of the ACadaptor or external battery pack into the DC 6V (DCsource
from 5V to 6V) socket on the side of the instrument. When a connector is inserted
into this socket, the internalbatteries will be disconnected and the instrument will be
powered from the external source. The low battery symbol “ ” will appear on
the display if the external voltage is insufficient for the instrument to provide
accurate measurements.
Note: Ensure the external power source is connected with the polarity as indicated
in the following diagram, otherwise damage may be caused to the instrument and
external power source.

13
3. Windscreen
When making measurements outdoors in strong winds or when measuring air
conditioning equipment or similar, wind noise and strong air movements at the
microphone can cause measurement errors. Such effect can be reduced by using
the windscreen.
4. Tripod Mounting
For long-term measurements, the instrument may be mounted on a standard
camera tripod using the integral ¼” x 20 UNC mounting thread.

14
8. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Most national standards recommend that you calibrate your sound level meter before
each set of measurements and check the calibration after each set.
The procedure to check/adjust the displayed sound level in response to acoustic
calibrator types TES-1356 or equivalent is as follows:
1. Turn off the sound calibrator.
2. Press the button to turn on the instrument.
3. Use the “ ” buttons to select the 60 to 120dB
reference sound level range.
4. Use the “
A / C
” button to select “A” frequency weighting.
5. Use the “
SLOW
IMPUSE
FAST
” button to select “FAST” time weighting.
6. Insert the microphone very carefully and slowly all the way
into the sound calibrator coupling orifice.
7. Switch on the 1000Hz sound calibrator in its nominal 94 dB
level setting.
8. Adjust the CAL potentiometer of the instrument, until the
display reading for diffuse field is the same as the certified
pressure level of the calibrator, or is 0.1 dB higher than this
pressure level for free-field. This applies to calibrators type
TES-1356.
9. Set the power switch of the sound calibrator to OFF.
10. Remove the microphone very carefully and slowly from the
coupler.

sound level measurements, select the “A” setting.
3. Press the “
SLOW
IMPUSE
FAST

characteristics). Normally, the “FAST” setting should be used.
4. When performing measurement according to IEC or other standards, the frequency
weighting and time weighting setting required by the standard should be selected.
5.Press the “ or ” buttons to select desired levelrange. Choose asetting
in which the bar graph indication registers approximately the middle of the range. If
the “ OVER ” indicator appear during measurement, the upper limit of the selected
range has been exceeded. Increase the range setting until the symbol remains off
during measurement. Similarly, if the “ UNDER ” indicator appears, reduce the
range setting until the symbol remains off during measurement. Both indicators are
non-latching and will clear when the correct range is selected.
6. The numeric level indication shows the currently measured sound level. The
reading is updated once every second.
Press
