5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Engegada/apagada

Press the power button (refer to your device for exact location, often combined with another function or a dedicated switch) to turn the sound level meter on. Press and hold the same button to turn it off.

5.2 Selecting Measurement Range

Premeu el botó NIVELL button to cycle through the available measurement ranges: Lo (32-80 dB), Med (50-100 dB), and Hi (80-130 dB). Select the range appropriate for the expected sound levels to ensure optimal accuracy.

5.3 Frequency Weighting (A/C)

Premeu el botó A/C button to switch between A-weighting and C-weighting:

• A-weighting (dB(A)): Mimics the human ear's response to sound, commonly used for environmental and occupational noise measurements.
• C-weighting (dB(C)): Provides a flatter response, suitable for measuring peak sound pressure levels or machine noise.

5.4 Ponderació temporal (RÀPIDA/LENTA)

Premeu el botó RÀPID/LENT button to select the desired time weighting:

• RÀPID: Responds quickly to changes in sound level, suitable for capturing transient noise events.
• LENT: Provides an averaged reading, useful for measuring steady noise levels.

5.5 Maximum and Minimum Value Memory

Premeu el botó MAX/MIN button to display the maximum or minimum sound level recorded since the last reset. Pressing it again will cycle back to the current reading or show the other stored value. To clear the memory, refer to the specific instructions in your device's full manual, as this often involves a long press or specific button combination.

5.6 Prendre una mesura

1. Enceneu l’instrument.
2. Select the appropriate measurement range using the NIVELL botó.
3. Choose the desired frequency weighting (A or C) with the A/C botó.
4. Set the time weighting (FAST or SLOW) using the RÀPID/LENT botó.
5. Hold the meter in the area where sound is to be measured, ensuring the microphone is unobstructed and pointed towards the sound source.
6. Read the sound level directly from the display.

6. Manteniment

6.1 Neteja

Wipe the instrument with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the microphone or other openings.

6.2 Substitució de la bateria

When the battery indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery as described in Section 4.1. Always use a fresh, high-quality 9V battery.

6.3 Emmagatzematge

When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the instrument in a clean, dry place within the specified storage temperature range of 14 to 140 °F (-10 to 60 °C).

7. Solució De Problemes

• Sense energia: Check if the battery is correctly installed and fully charged. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Lectures inexactes: Ensure the correct measurement range, frequency weighting, and time weighting are selected for the application. Verify the microphone is unobstructed. Consider recalibration if issues persist.
• Problemes de visualització: If the display is blank or shows erratic characters, try replacing the battery. If the problem continues, contact customer support.
