Operating Instructions Power On/Off Turn the meter on by pressing the POWER button. To turn the meter off, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds. Sound Pressure Level (dBA/dBC Mode) At start up, the meter's default settings are "Auto Range", "A Frequency Weighting"... -
Page 11: Data Hold
Press the BACKLIGHT button to turn the LCD Backlight on. It will automatically turn off after approx. 5 seconds. The R8085 is designed to calculate and display an individual's noise exposure in %DOSE on the LCD display. All stored readings that are captured during the modes described in this manual can be accessed, and exported to Excel for further analysis by using the optional PC software (R8085-PC) and USB cable (R8085-USB). -
Page 12: Noise Exposure (%Dose) - Test Duration Mode
According to OSHA's noise standard, specifically, 29 CFR 1910.95, the dosimeter must be set up to record noise exposure using the following criteria: • Exchange rate: 5dB • Frequency weighting: A • Response: Slow • Criterion level: 90dBA (Hearing Conservation) or 90dBA (Administrative and Engineering Controls). -
Page 13: Noise Exposure (%Dose) - Programmable Time Mode
Clip the microphone as close as possible to the user's ear i.e. shirt collar. Note: Set the cable in a way that does not hinder the user's ability to perform their tasks. 10. Press the RUN/PAUSE button to begin measuring accumulated noise exposure. - Page 14 Press and hold the button to set the recording start time. Use the buttons to adjust the current date as indicated by "dd". Press the FUNC. button to confirm selection and switch to the hour digit as indicated by "h". Use the buttons until the desired number value is reached.

Page 15: Dose Testing Notes
Please note to use the data logging feature for Sound Level Pressure (SPL) the optional PC software (R8085-PC) and USB cable (R8085-USB) are required. With the software, all stored readings that are captured can be downloaded and exported to Excel for further analysis. -
Page 16: Spl Automatic Data Logging Mode
To exit manual data logging mode, press and hold the LOG button for 2 seconds to resume normal operation. SPL Automatic Data Logging Mode In automatic mode, the desired data logging sampling rate is set to 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 300, 600, 1800 or 3600 seconds prior to recording. In order to setup the meter for automatic data logging, follow steps 1 through 5 below. -
Page 17: Setting The Time And Date (Date)
Once the appropriate parameter has been selected follow the associated instructions below. Note: The meter automatically exits out of the Setup mode if no key is pressed within 7 seconds. Setting the Time and Date (dAtE) Press the ENTER button when the dAtE parameter appears on the LCD. -
Page 18: Setting The Criterion Level In Db (Set Lc)
Press the ENTER button to confirm selection and skip to next parameter. Note: At any time, you can press the ESC button to exit the Setup mode and resume normal operation. Setting the Criterion Level in dB (SEt LC) Follow steps 1 and 2 when "SEt LC" appears on the LCD. Use the buttons to adjust the criterion level between 80, 84, 85, and 90 dB. -
Page 19: Checking Memory Space (Spc)
Calibration Procedure In order to calibrate the R8085, an external calibrator that can provide a 94.0dB signal is required (REED R8090). If the meter has been exposed to extreme conditions or has not been used in a long period of time the meter should be calibrated by following steps 1 through 11 below. -
Page 20: Data Stream Output
Press and hold the HOLD and RUN/PAUSE buttons simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds to enter calibration mode. When in calibration mode, the current sound level measurement will appear on the lower and upper part of the LCD display. 10. Press the buttons to adjust the upper display until it matches the output of the calibrator (94.0dB). -
