INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ HHSL402SD Sound Level Meter with

Datalogging SD Card. Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly before using

the instrument.

The HHSL402SD is a general-purpose handheld instrument that measures the noise level of

an environment or the sound level produced by a piece of machinery. Using an integrated

0.5 in. condenser microphone, the meter

can measure sound levels from 30 to 130 dB with

a res

olution of 0.1 dB and show the results on a front-panel liquid-crystal display.

Several features and capabilities enhance the meter’s versatility. Among them are

autoranging, the ability to hold readings and display maximum and minimum readings, and

user-settable measurement parameters such as frequency weighting (using the “A” and

“C” standards) an

d time weighting (fast or slow). The HHSL402SD can be calibrated by an

tional laboratory instrument.

Because it is microprocessor-based, the HHSL402SD can make full use of the portability,

reliability and large storage capacities that SD memory cards offer. Measurements can be

made automatically at any sampling rate between one second and one hour. After time-

stamping and storing the measurements on an SD card pl

ugged into the instrument (a

rocess called datalogging), the user can remove the card and plug it into to a laptop or

desktop computer either directly or via a USB card reader. The data logs are stored on the

card as files with the .xls extension, which can be opened by Microsoft’s Excel application.

The HHSL402SD has a backlit 2-1/2 in. diagonal display and is powered by six “AA”

Alkaline

batteries or an op

tional 9V AC/DC adapter.
