1. Power on the meter. After the power‐on screen displays, the SLM measurement screen

appears.

2. Use the FREQ WEIGHT TIME button to select the frequency weighting characteristic. For

normal sound level measurements, select the “A” setting.

When “C” (C‐Weighting) is selected, the equivalent continuous sound pressure level (LCeq) is

measured.

3. Use the FREQ WEIGHT TIME button to select the time weighting characteristic. For normal

sound level measurements, select the “F” (Fast) setting.

(This setting does not affect a measurement result of continuous sound level mode.)

Note: The meter performs high‐speed sampling of the sound pressure waveform to determine

Leq and SEL. It is not affected by the time weighting characteristics.

4. Use the



LEVEL



buttons to set the level range. The main channel bar graph indicator should be

in the middle of the range.

If the “OV” or “UN” indicators appear, change the level range setting.
