Features

This Sound Level Datalogger is designed for noise assessment; quality 
control; illness prevention as well as detection and measurement of all 
environmental sounds. Ideal for measuring the sound levels in factories; 
schools; offices; high traffic areas, households, and more.
•  This unit conforms to the IEC61672-1 CLASS2 for Sound Level Meters
•  NORM (Normal) & PEAK mode
•  Data manage: STORE/REAL TIME
•  Over range indication
•  A & C Weighting
•  FAST & SLOW response
•  Calibration Software
•  Manual & Automatic start 

Notes:
•  In NORM (Normal) mode, 20 readings will be picked (one reading per 

50ms) and the average value of the 20 readings will be stored. At the 
same time, a peak max. & a peak min. will be picked wihtin all the  
sampling data. If sampling rate takes longer than 10 seconds, the unit 
will turn itself off before reaching sampling time to save battery power.   

•  In PEAK mode, the DataLogger will always measure data at 50 micro-

second intervals. The PEAK value means the MAX. and MIN. reading of 
the measurement but not the MAX. and MIN. sampling value. The stored 
sampling value is the MAX. of the 20 readings but not the average.
