Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The Sper Scientific Advanced Datalogging Sound Meter (Model 850013) uses a single range of 30 to 130 dB. This dynamic range eliminates the need to manually select and change ranges, alleviating the problem of lost data associated with range changes in auto-ranging models. All test parameters are simultaneously displayed on a large, bright backlit display that features 0.1 dB resolution and a bar graph. -
Page 4: Power Supply
POWER SUPPLY The meter is powered by 4 AA 1.5V batteries or an AC adapter. When using the AC adapter, insert the adapter plug into the DC9V connector on the bottom of the meter. Note… When the AC adapter is connected, the meter will supply power from the adapter rather than the batteries. -
