  • Page 9: Lcd Display

    LCD DISPLAY Sound–Level Measurement Units The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit of measure that expresses the power or intensity of an acoustic sound. Light–Level Measurement Units Both Lux and Ft-cd (Foot Candle) measure luminance. Lux = lumens per square meter. Ft-cd Ft-cd = lumens per square foot .

  • Page 11: Sound Calibration

    SOUND CALIBRATION This procedure requires an optional 2- Point Acoustical Calibrator (850016): 1. Using the directions that accompany the Acoustical Calibrator, ensure that the calibrator is operational and is equipped with the ½” microphone adapter. 2. Insert meter’s sound probe into the calibrator.
  • Page 12 SOUND CALIBRATION The meter enters Calibration Mode and displays two values. The upper value is the calibration point. The lower value is the current reading. Note… To calibrate the sound meter, you must change the current reading to match the calibration point of the acoustical calibrator (e.g., 94 dB).
  • Page 13 SOUND CALIBRATION 8. Press UNIT to save the calibration data, exit Calibration Mode, and resume measurement. 9. To calibrate the Sound-Level meter to a second set-point (114 dB), set the Acoustical Calibrator to 114 dB and repeat steps 4 through 7. Note…...
  • Page 14: Measurement Procedures

    MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Sound-Level Measurement 1. Ensure that the sound sensor at the top of the meter is free from obstruction. 2. Hold the meter with the sound sensor pointing toward the noise source and press POWER to turn the meter on. 3.
  • Page 15 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 3. Press LUX/FT-CD to select between Lux and Ft-cd. 4. To ensure measurement accuracy, calibrate the light meter using the Zero- Offset adjustment feature. 5. Cover the light sensor to block any light from registering on the meter. Press ZERO to calibrate the meter to zero.
  • Page 16 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Air-Velocity Measurement 1. Press POWER to turn the meter on. 2. Continuously press FUNCTION until the meter displays the wind-speed and ambient temperature measuring units (ft/min, m/S, km/h, MPH, knots, °C, °F). Because the anemometer readings are taken while holding the meter upside- down, the values display upside-down on the LCD (180°...
  • Page 17 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 5. Ensure that the air flow sensor is free from obstruction and face the air-flow sensor in the direction of the wind. 6. The meter measures the wind-speed and ambient temperature of the surrounding environment and displays the value. Relative Humidity Measurement 1.
  • Page 18 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 3. Holding the meter upside-down, press °C/°F to select between a Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature reading. 4. Ensure that the humidity sensor is free from obstruction. 5. The meter measures the relative humidity and ambient temperature of the surrounding environment and displays the value.
  • Page 19 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 3. Continuously press FUNCTION until the meter displays the temperature measuring unit (°C, °F). 4. Press °C/°F to select between a Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature reading. 5. Make contact between the thermo- couple sensor probe and the object or area you want to measure.
  • Page 20 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES The meter freezes the current measurement value and discontinues measurement while in Hold Mode. 4. Press HOLD again to exit Hold Mode and resume measurement. Record Mode & Auto-Off Selection To save battery life, the Environmental Quality Meter turns off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity.
  • Page 21 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 2. While the meter displays REC, you can view both the maximum and minimum measured values by pressing the MAX/ MIN button. The MAX/MIN button toggles between the maximum and minimum measured values. 3. To clear the MAX/MIN values and continue recording, press HOLD.
  • Page 22 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES connect your meter to a PC to store, analyze, and print data. RS232 Cable (840057), RS232-to-USB adapter cable (840094), and Data Acquisition Software (850080) are available as optional accessories. The software interface protocol is 9600 bps, 8 data bits, with no parity and 1 stop bit.
  • Page 23 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES Hands-Free Operation The Environmental Quality Meter includes both a built-in mini-easel and a tripod screw-mount for easy hands-free monitoring. Bench-Top (840092) and Field (840093) Tripods are available as optional accessories and attach simply via the screw-mount located on the back of the meter.
