Switching the meter on and off

To turn on the meter, press the key. The meter turns on immediately and starts measuring after two seconds. When you connect the power supply, the meter also turns on automatically. To turn off the meter, press and hold the key for two seconds.

Alarm function

After the alarm has been triggered, it must be cancelled. It remains active until it is manually cancelled by the operator using the key or is automatically cancelled after the set time.
After the cancellation, the measurement will be continued after 2 seconds.
Note: During this whole time, the display is frozen. Therefore, no measurement is made. The frozen reading will be logged every two seconds.

Switch alarm function on and off
To switch the alarm function on or off, press and release the key once. The alarm LED above the key indicates whether the alarm function is active.

Data storage

The sound measurement display logs the highest measured sound value every two seconds. As soon as the memory is full, the first half of the memory is automatically deleted and replaced by current measured values. It is therefore advisable to read out the memory on the PC at regular intervals. The memory is sufficient for 657,000 measured values.

In the menu of the sound meter you can make settings for the alarm function, date and time. To enter the menu, press and hold the key for about 2 seconds. To select an individual menu item, press the key repeatedly. You can change a value with the arrow keys. To accept a value, press the key again. To exit the menu, press the key.
The menu is arranged as follows:

Function	Description
Alarm limit value	Set the alarm limit value (range 50 … 130).
Automatic alarm cancellation time	Set when the alarm is to be cancelled automatically after it has been triggered (range 6 … 120 seconds).
Alarm volume	Set the volume of the alarm (range 1 … 3).
Year	Set the current year.
Month	Set the current month.
Day	Set the current day.
Hour	Set the current hour.
Minute	Set the current minute.
Second	Set the current second.

After setting the second, you automatically leave the menu and return directly to measuring mode.

Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
