Alarm function
After the alarm has been triggered, it must be cancelled. It remains active until it is manually
cancelled by the operator using the
key or is automatically cancelled after the set time.
After the cancellation, the measurement will be continued after 2 seconds.
Note:
During this whole time, the display is frozen. Therefore, no measurement is made. The
frozen reading will be logged every two seconds.

Data storage
The sound measurement display logs the highest measured sound value every two seconds. As
soon as the memory is full, the first half of the memory is automatically deleted and replaced by
current measured values. It is therefore advisable to read out the memory on the PC at regular
intervals. The memory is sufficient for 657,000 measured values.
