If an over-range or under-range condition has occurred at
least  once  during  measurement  the  “  OV  ”  or  “  UN  ”
indication  is  shown  on  the  display,  to  indicate  that  over-
range or under-range data were included in the sound level
measurement values for processing.
During  measurement,  if  change  the  frequency  or  time
weighting  and  sound  level  ranges,  the  stored  maximum
and  minimum  sound  level  will  be  clear.    The  maximum
recorded elapsed time is 100 hours.

10-2 Store operations

1. To memorize the reading

  Press  “MEM”  key  each  time  to  store  one  set

measurement  data  (L,  Lmax,  Lmin  and  each  elapsed
time) in memory, and LCD will show “ M ” and memory
location numbers (1 to 99).

 When the data number 99 is reached, the “FULL”

indication is shown on the display, does not change
further and does not return to 1.

2. To recall and read the reading

 Press "READ" key to recall the reading memory data

mode. LCD will show "    READ    " and memory
location numbers.

  Press  “

”  or  “

 

 

  key  to  scroll  through  the  logged

readings.

  Press  “MAX”  key  to  cycle  switch  the  stored  currently

sound  level  with  elapsed  measurement  time 

  the

maximum sound level (“max” is shown) with measured
elapsed  time 

  the  minimum  sound  level  (  “min”  is

shown) with measured elapsed time.

 Press "READ" key again to exit READ mode.

3. To clean the memory

 Press “ 

 ” key to turn-off the meter.

 Press and hold down “MEM” key then press “ 

 ” key

to turn on the meter, LCD will show “CLr” and all stored
data are clear.
