Operating Instructions
Turn the meter on by pressing the Power button. Press and hold the Power button to turn the meter off.
Function Selection
1. The meter’s function defaults are set to “Auto Range, “A Frequen­cy Weighting”, and Fast Time Weighting”. The screen will display “A. Fast Auto”.
2. Switch between “A” or “C” Frequency Weighting by pressing the “A/C Button”.
3. Determine proper measuring range by pressing the Range Button. Press the Range Button to scroll through the Four range types. There are three manual ranges (range 1, range 2, range 3) and auto range in this sequence: Range 1: 30 - 80 dB range Range 2: 50 - 100 dB range Range 3: 80 - 130 dB range
4. Select the Time Weighting (Fast or Slow) by pressing the Time Weighting Button. The screen will display either “FAST” or “SLOW”, depending on your selection.
Data Hold
While taking a measurement, press the Hold Button once and the mea­sured value will hold on the screen, and a HOLD symbol will appear. Press the Hold Button once again will release the data hold function.

Data Record (Max., Min. reading)
The data record function records the maximum and minimum readings. Press the REC Button once to start the Data Record function and a “REC” symbol will appear on the display. With the “REC” symbol on the display:
1. Press the REC Button once, and a ”REC. MAX.” symbol along with the maximum value will appear on the display. To delete the maximum value, press the Hold Button once and the display will show a “REC.” symbol only and execute the memory function continuously.
2. Press the REC Button again, and a “REC. MIN.” symbol along with the minimum value will appear on the display. To delete the minimum value, press the Hold Button once, and the display will show a “REC.” symbol only and execute the memory function continuously.
3. To exit the memory record function, press the REC button for 2 seconds. The display will revert to the current reading.
Backlight ON/OFF
After powering the meter ON, the LCD Backlight will turn on automati­cally. While taking measurements, press the Backlight Button and the LCD Backlight will turn off. Press the Backlight Button once again to turn the LCD Backlight back ON.
Datalogger
Preparation Before Executing the Datalogger Function:
1. Insert the optional SD card into the SD card socket.
2. Before you use an SD card with this meter for the rst time, it is recommend to format the SD card. See Advanced Settings sec­tion of this manual for instructions.
3. If this is the rst time the meter is used you need to adjust the clock. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instruc­tions.

4. Now you need to set the decimal format. The numerical data structure downloaded to the SD card is defaulted used the “.” as the decimal, for example “20.6” “1000.53”. But in certain coun­tries the “,” is used as the decimal point, for example “20, 6” “1000,53”. See Advanced Settings section of this manual for instructions on how to change the Decimal Character.
Auto Datalogger (Set sampling time ≥1 second)
1. Start Datalogging; press the REC Button, and the “REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen, then press the Logger Button, the “REC” symbol will ash while the measuring data and time infor­mation is being saved in memory. To set the sampling time, and to toggle the beeper sound on or off, refer to the Advanced Settings section of this manual.
2. Pause the Datalogging; while Datalogging, if press the Logger Button once. While paused, the “REC” symbol will stop ashing. Press the Logger Button again to resume Datalogging, and the “REC” symbol will begin to ash again.
3. Stop Datalogging; while the Datalogger function is paused, press the REC Button for 2 seconds. The “REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.
Manual Datalogger (Set sampling time = 0 seconds)
1. Set sampling time is to 0 second; Press the REC Button, and the “REC” symbol will appear on the LCD screen. Press the Logger Button, and the “REC” symbol will ash once and one Beep will sound, at the same time the measuring data along the time infor­mation will be saved in memory. The lower Display will show the Position (record) number, which is saved as well.
2. To Change the Position Number; press the Down Button and the lower position number will ash on the display. Press the Up or Down Buttons to set the Position Number (1 to 99) to help identify the measurement location. The lower Display will show P x (x = 1 to 99). After the position number is selected, press the Enter button to conrm.

3. Stop Datalogging; press the REC Button for 2 seconds, and the “REC” symbol will disappear indicating the Datalogging function has stopped.
Checking the Time
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Time Check Button and the lower LCD display will show the Year, Month/Date, Hour/Minute.
Check Sampling Time Information
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press the Sampling Button and the lower LCD display will show the Sampling Time Information.
SD Card Data Structure
1. The rst time the SD card is used in the meter, the SD card will generate a folder: “SLA01”.
2. The rst time you use the Datalogger, in the folder “SLA01”, a new le name “SLA01001.xls” will be created. The Datalogger will use this le until the Data has reached to 30,000 rows. The meter will then will generate a new le with a subsequent number, for example “SLA01002.xls”.
3. The folder SLA01 can hold “99.xls” les. When that number has been reached, the meter will then will generate a new folder with a subsequent number, for example “SLA02”. Max number of “SLA--” folders is 10.

Data Transfer from SD card to Computer (EXCEL Software)
1. After Datalogging, remove the SD card from the SD card slot.
2. Plug in the SD card into the Computer’s SD card slot or insert the SD card into the optional SD card adapter and connect to your Computer. Turn your computer on and a folder will appear on your desktop representing you SD card.
3. Open “Microsoft EXCEL”. Download the EXCEL les from the SD Card to the computer by opening up the SD folder and select­ing the desired EXCEL les, and drag-and-drop them onto your Computer. Open the les with EXCEL (File – Open).
4. The EXCEL le will have the following column headers in this order: Place (Position Number), Date (Year/Month/Day), Time (in 24h clock), Value, and Unit.
Advanced Settings
During normal functions (not Datalogging), press and hold the SET Button for 2 seconds to enter the “Advanced Setting” mode. Press the Next But­ton scroll through eight main functions, shown on the lower display:
dAtE Set clock time (Year/Month/Date, Hour/Minute/Second) dEC Set SD card Decimal character PoFF Auto power OFF management bEEP Set beeper sound ON/OFF SP-t Set sampling time (Hour/Minute/Second) Sd F SD memory card Format
While in the “Advanced Setting” function, press the Esc Button to exit and to return to normal functioning.

Set Clock Time
1. When the lower display shows “dAtE”, press the Enter Button. Use the Up and Down Buttons to adjust the Year. After the desired value is set, press the Enter Button to adjust the Month, Date, Hour, Minute, and Second values.
2. After all the time values have been set the screen will jump to “SD card Decimal character” setting screen.
Note: After the time value is set, the internal clock will run even when the power is off, if the battery is under normal conditions.
Setting the Decimal Point on the SD Card
1. When the lower display shows “dEC”, use the Up or Down But­tons to toggle between “bASIC” (“.” Decimal Point) or “Euro” (“,” Decimal Point).
2. After the Decimal point character has been selected, press the Enter Button to save the setting as the default.
Auto Power OFF Management
1. When the lower display shows “PoFF”, use the Up or Down But­tons to select the value “yES” (Enable Auto Power Off) or “no” (Disable Auto Power Off.
2. After selecting “yES” or “no”, press the Enter Button to save the setting as the default.
Set Beeper Sound ON/OFF
1. When the lower display shows “bEEP”, use the Up or Down But­tons to select “yES” (Beeper Sound is ON) or “no” (Beeper Sound is OFF).
2. After selecting “yES” or “no”, press the Enter Button to save the setting as the default.

Meter (3.5mm Jack Plug) PC (9W “D” Connector)
Center Pin Pin 2 Ground/Shield Pin 5
The 16 digit data stream will be displayed in the following format: D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
D0 End Word D1 to D4 Upper Display reading, D1= LSD, D4= MSB D5 to D8 D5=? D6=? D7=? D8=? D9 Decimal Point ( DP) for display
D10 D10 = 0 D11 D11 = 0 D12 D12 = 0 D13 D13 = 0 D14 D14 = 0 D15 Start Word
0 = No DP, 1 = 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP
