About the Instrument

The instrument measures basic sound level meter parameters (Leq, Lmax, Lmin and Lpeak) with up to two sim­ultaneous frequency weightings (A, B, C, Z) and up to three simultaneous time weightings (F, S, I) for the exponential
averaging.

Introduction: About

The instrument performs frequency analysis of either 1/1- or 1/3-octave spectra (Leq, Lmax, Lmin) with one of the avail­able frequency weightings (A, B, C, Z) and time weightings (F, S).

The instrument takes single measurements. In other words, the instrument calculates a single value for each measured
parameter for the total measurement time.

The instrument takes logged measurements. In other words, it has a logging mode that can average and log intervals of
broadband and/or spectral data to obtain a profile of the total measurement with logging intervals between 1 s and 1
min.

The instrument performs statistical analysis on either LAeq, LAF or LAS with calculation of 5 user-defined percentile
levels.

The instrument takes audio recordings.

Local Connections

Get Started: Local Connections

A local connection is a connection to a local area network (LAN). It is the simplest way to connect the apps to the instru­ment. Typically, the network will be your office or home network, but you can also use the instrument to create a hot­spot to which you can connect devices while you are out in the field.

Once the instrumentand the device running the app are using the same network, they can communicate. You will use
Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® and Ethernet in varying combinations to enable communication between devices.

✐ Note: The mobile app and PC app do not connect to one another, the apps only connect to the instrument.

Join your Local Network

Connect all devices (instrument, mobile device and PC) to your local network so that they can communicate with one
another. Connect the mobile device and PC as per the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the instrument using one of
the following options:

l Use an Ethernet connection:

l Connect the instrument to your PC using a USB-C to USB-A cable

l Connect an Ethernet cable to the Instrument using a USB-C to Ethernet adaptor

l Place the instrument on the desktop base station (an optional accessory that provides power and a net-

work connection to the instrument)

l Use a wireless connection:

a.

Press briefly to open the menu.

b. Go to: System settings > Network settings > Wi-Fi settings > Wi-Fi mode.

c. Select Connect to network.

1. On the instrument, go to: System settings > Network settings > Wi-Fi settings > Wi-Fi mode.

2. Select Act as hotspot.

3. Make note of the hotspot name (example: BK2245-000000) and password.

4. Connect the mobile device and / or PC to the hotspot as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Change the Hotspot Password

If you wish to change the default password for the instrument hotspot:

1. Go to: System settings > Network settings > Wi-Fi settings.

2. Ensure that Wi-Fi mode is set to Act as hotspot.

3. Select Password.

4.

Use and to scroll through the character menu.

5.

Press to confirm the changes.

✐ Note: Restart the instrument to apply the new password.

Remote Connections

It is possible to connect to an instrument remotely, that is, connect to an instrument on a network from a different net­work or the Internet. Establishing a remote connection is a little more complicated than creating a local connection, but
it can be helpful if you want to be able to access your instrument from remote locations. The following includes inform­ation about your instrument, general guidelines for the configuration of your router to enable remote connection, and
how to test the connection.

23

Get Started: Remote Connections

✐ Note:

l Remote connection is optional. In other words, you do not need to be able to connect to your instrument

remotely in order to use it with the mobile and PC apps.

l Please refer to the manufacturer of your router or to your Internet service provider (ISP) for information spe-

cific to your network.

l The instrument must be on and connected to the network in order to access it remotely using the mobile or PC

app.

Before you begin, you will need some information about your Internet service:

l

Is your IPaddress IPv4 or IPv6 or both?

The instrument supports both. The difference is that IPv4 requires port forwarding while IPv6 does not.

l

If you have an IPv4 address, is it static or dynamic?

You can use either static or dynamic addresses. However, dynamic IPv4 addresses change, which requires you to
enter a new IP address in the mobile or PC app every time the address changes.

l

If you have a dynamic IPv4 address, can you get a static IPaddress or set up a DynDNS (dynamic domain name
system)?

You can use a static IP address or set up DynDNS, which works by assigning a persistent host name to the instru­ment, to overcome the problem of changing IPv4 addresses.

l

Is your ISPblocking any instrument ports?

✐ Note: The instrument uses ports 80, 443 and 8700 to 8720. It is not possible to change these ports. There-
fore, remote connection is not possible if your ISPblocks any of those ports.

What you will need:

l An instrument that is connected to the network (either by Wi-Fi® or Ethernet)
l Access to the settings interface of your network router

How to Connect Remotely via an IPv4 Address

Use the NAT (network address translation) capabilities of your router to forward the ports of your instrument so that
you can connect to it remotely.

A general procedure is as follows:

✐ Note: This procedure applies to static IPv4 addresses and dynamic IPv4 address using DynDNS.

1.

Look for the port forwarding option on your router.

If you do not find it right away, look for advanced options.

2.

Create port-forwarding rules.

Port-forwarding rules link the IPaddress of the instrument to ports that it uses so that when you send a request
to the instrument's network from another network, the router knows to which device to direct the request.

24

Get Started: Remote Connections

a.

You can find the IPv4 address of the instrument on the instrument or on the router.

l On the instrument, go to: Menu > Network settings > Wi-Fi settings or Ethernet settings > IP

address

l On the router, there should be a list of the connected devices

b.

The instrument uses the following ports:

l Port 80, the common port assigned to HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol)
l Port 443, the common port assigned to HTTPS (hypertext transfer protocol secure)
l Ports 8700 to 8720, open ports that the instrument uses

✐ Note: All ports use TCP (transmission control protocol).

3.

From another network, such as a mobile network, test the setup.

✐ Note: Turn off Wi-Fi on your mobile device to make sure that you are not connected to the same network as
the instrument.

a. Open the mobile app.

b.

From the instrument list, tap Add instrument manually.

✐ Note: If the mobile app is connected to an Instrument, disconnect from it to access the list.

c.

Enter the IP address or host name.

l

For IPv4 addresses, this will be your network's public WANIP address

You can find your WAN IPaddress on your router or through an Internet search of 'my IP'.

l For DynDNS, this will be the host name given by the DynDNS

d. Tap Done.
e. Tap the instrument listing to connect.

✐ Note: You can also test the setup using the PC app. Click to open the import dialog then click and

select Add instrument from IP.

How to Connect Remotely via an IPv6 Address

You do not have to set up port forwarding when using an IPv6 address.

To test the remote connection, try to connect to the instrument from a different network. The easiest way to check is to
use a mobile device that has a mobile network and the mobile app installed.

✐ Note: Turn off Wi-Fi on your mobile device to make sure that you are not connected to the same network as the
instrument.

1. Open the mobile app.

2.

From the instrument list, tap Add instrument manually.

✐ Note: If the mobile app is connected to an Instrument, disconnect from it to access the list.

25

Get Started: Connect the Mobile App to the Instrument

3.

Enter the IPv6 address of your instrument.

To find the IPv6 address, go to: Menu > Network settings > Wi-Fi settings or Ethernet settings > IPv6 address

✐ Note: Enter the address in brackets, for example: [2701:db8:424d:d15::1a2f::].

4. Tap Done.

5. Tap the instrument listing to connect.

✐ Note:

l If you are unable to connect, try adjusting the firewall settings on your router.

l

You can also test the setup using the PC app. Click to open the import dialog then click and select Add

instrument from IP.

Connect the Mobile App to the Instrument

The mobile app connects to the instrument via Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®.

What you will need:

l The instrument
l An iPhone or iPod with the mobile app installed

Connect the Mobile App to the Instrument

1.

Connect the mobile device and the instrument to the same local network.

You have two options:

l Connect the instrument and the mobile device to your current network

l Set the instrument to act as a hotspot then connect the mobile device to the hotspot

2. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device as per the manufacturer's instructions.

3.

Open the mobile app.

Before the mobile app connects to an instrument, it will open to a list of the instruments it detects sorted by nick­name, type and serial number.

4.

Tap on your instrument to connect.

Hint: Give the instrument a nickname (System settings > Network settings > Nickname). A nickname can

make it easier to find your instrument in a list. Also, nicknames are fun!

26

Get Started: Connect the Mobile App to the Instrument

That's it! The instrument shows when it is connected to the mobile app.

Once the mobile app has connected to an instrument, the app will remember the instrument and re-establish a con­nection automatically after separation.

✐ Note: Remember that measurement data is stored on the instrument. If measurement data is no longer being dis-
played after separation, tap on the mobile app to open the list of past measurements and recall the desired meas-

urement.

How to Add the Instrument Manually

If you want to find an instrument that is not showing up in the list of discovered instruments, such as an instrument on
