INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the HHSL-101 USB Digital Sound
Level Data Logger. Please read this user’s manual carefully
and thoroughly before using the instrument.
The HHSL-101 is a low-cost, compact, battery-powered
sound level meter capable of unattended logging (recording)
of the decible level of an environment for days, weeks, or
months. Data logging can be started or stopped by pushing a
button on the unit, eliminating the need to bring a laptop to
the job site.

7 or
into one of the computer’s USB ports. The HHSL-101’s internal
flash memory is large enough to store up to 32000 data points.
Included with the product—which is slightly larger than a
thumb drive—is a mini-disc with the drivers needed to
interface the unit to the computer, as well as software that
can display a data log file as a table or graph and/or export it
to Microsoft Excel. Exporting to Excel is recommended for
sophisticated trending and analysis of sound level data and
easy detection of unexpected excursions.
KEY FEATURES
• One button starts/stops data logging without a PC
• Plug-and-play USB 2.0 interface; no need for cables,
cradles or docks
• Large storage capacity offers the ability to track, store, and
download 32,000 data points into Excel-Format.
• LCD displays real time sound level
• A/C frequency weighting
• FAST/SLOW time weighting
• MAX/MIN/AVG displays
• High and low alarm limit, selectable sampling time
• Ability to analyze data in graph view using included
software and also print or save the results.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Do not use the HHSL-101 in the presence of flammable or
explosive gases.

showing through the small square hole in the rear of the unit.
Push back the cover, insert a fresh battery in the correct
orientation, and replace the cover, pushing it forward until you
feel and hear a click.
Note: If the battery is removed from a unit before it has been
set up from software or while it is recording, the unit must be
reconfigured before it can be reactivated. If it is not
reconfigured, the unit will remain in standby mode.
Replacement “1/2 AA” batteries are available from Omega
(part no. OM-EL-BATT).
SOFTWARE, DRIVERS, CONFIGURATION
Please refer to the software manual on the CD for installation,
configuration and operating instructions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEPLOY THE UNIT
The HHSL-101 is particularly easy to deploy on a job site
because the unit does not need to be plugged into a computer
to be activated (ready to start logging data). The HHSL-101—
with its protective cap on—can be deployed either by laying
it on a horizontal surface or by mounting it onto the stand
provided.
BUTTON FUNCTIONS
To turn on the device, press and hold the unlabeled yellow
Function button (Fig. 1, Callout B) for 3 seconds. If the device
