3. Safety Advice
Product safety/preserving warranty
claims:
Operate only within the parameters
specified. Do not use force.
Do not expose to electromagnetic
radiation (e.g. microwaves, induction
heating), static charge, heat or strong
fluctuations in temperature.
Never store with solvents (e.g. acetone).
Ensure that liquid does not enter into
the calibrator.

Feature Values
Battery test Internal circuit for
permanent battery status
monitoring. Calibrator does
not emit signal if the LED
changes from green to red,
voltage is then too low.
Dimensions in mm (lxbxh) 113 x 63 x 44
Weight Approx. 170g (incl. battery)
EC guideline 89/336/EEC
6. Initial Operation
1Open battery compartment.
2Insert battery, observe +/-.
3Close battery compartment.
- The instrument is ready to operate.
- The instrument shows its functionality
by the ”Power ON” LED and a beep
sound after it is switched on.

7. Operation
1Attach calibrator to microphone with a
rotary motion. Use the corresponding
adapter for instruments with a ½ inch
microphone.
2Switch on instrument and set the
measurement range from 80 to 130 dB.
3Set time weighting (Fast/Slow) and
frequency weighting (dB(A),dB(C)) to the
values in which the instrument is usually
operated.
4Set calibrator level switch to 94dB.
The instrument should show a value of
94dB minus the height offset value, see
table.

20
Height offset values
Height in m amsl Pressure p in mbar Offset in dB
0-250 1013-984 0.0
>250-850 983-915 -0.1
>850-1450 914-853 -0.2
>1450-2000 852-795 -0.3
Example:
Height above mean sea level = 500
Target value = 94dB - 0.1dB = 93.9 dB
If the value displayed deviates from the
target value, the instrument should be
recalibrated.
Using a small screwdriver, turn the
instrument calibration screw until the
correct target value is displayed.
5To check, set the calibrator level switch
to 114dB.

21
The instrument should show a value of
114dB minus the height offset value.
If the value displayed deviates by more
than ±0.2dB from the target value and it
also cannot be reduced by recalibration,
please contact your dealer or Testo
Customer Service. You will find contact
details at

8. Care and Maintenance
Changing the battery
If the battery voltage needed to operate
the calibrator is insufficient, the control
lamp on the front lights up red.
1Open battery compartment.
2Insert battery (9V block - 6 F 22),
observe +/-.
3Close battery compartment.
