6. LCD DISPLAY DESCRIPTION 

 

1.  Sound level range indicator (5 ranges): 30–90dB, 40–100dB, 50–110dB, 60–120dB 

and 70–130dB 

2.  Bar graph shows the current sound level (1dB resolution). 

3.  Current date/time and elapsed time indicator : During integrating this indicator 

shows the elapsed time in seconds. 
During viewed the peak hold sound level this indicator the “PH”. 

During viewed the percentile tile sound level this indicator shows the L:05, L:10, 
L:50, L:90 and L:95 parameters. 
Others this indicator shows the “year - month - day” or “hour : minute : second”. 

4.  Leq: Equivalent continuous sound level reading 

5.  SEL: Sound exposure level reading 

6.  SPL: Current time-weighted sound level reading “Sound Pressure Level” 

7.  Low-battery indication 

8.  MAX: Maximum time-weighted sound level reading (blink displayed). 

Maximum sound level reading.
