9.CALIBRATION
The standard method to calibrate the meter
requires an external ND9 calibrator in addition
to a small screw-driver.
9.1 Calibrate the meter by the ND9
a. Turn the meter ON
b. Put the meter in the 'A' weighting mode
c. Put the meter in the 'SLOW' response
mode
d. Place the microphone into the calibrator.
Turn the calibrator ON.
e. Adjust the meter's CAL potentiometer so
that the meter's display matches the output
of the calibrator.
9.2 Calibrate the meter by the built in signal
To enter the calibration state, just switch on
the meter, depress the key till the icon
"CAL" is on the display. Then use a screw-
driver to adjust the meter's CAL
potentiometer so that the meter displays
94dB.
10. CONSIDERATIONS
10.1 Wind blowing across the microphone
increases the noise measurement. Use the
supplied windscreen to cover the microphone
when applicable.
10.2 Do not attempt to dismantle the meter
yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
