Configuració

1. Instal·lació de la bateria

1. Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
2. Feu lliscar la tapa del compartiment de la bateria cap avall per obrir-lo.
3. Introduïu tres (3) piles AAA, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-) tal com s'indica a l'interior del compartiment.
4. Tanqueu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria lliscant-la cap amunt fins que encaixi al seu lloc.

2. Microphone Windscreen Attachment

• Gently slide the foam windscreen onto the microphone at the top of the device.
• Ensure the windscreen is securely fitted to prevent it from falling off during use.
• The windscreen helps to reduce wind noise and improve measurement accuracy, especially in outdoor environments.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Encendre/apagar

• Per encendre el dispositiu, premeu i manteniu premut el botó Poder botó () located on the front panel.
• Per apagar el dispositiu, manteniu premut el botó Poder button again. The device also features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life.

2. Pantalla i retroil·luminació

• The 2.25-inch LCD screen displays noise levels in decibels (dB), along with temperature and relative humidity.
• To activate or deactivate the backlight, long press the Llum de fons botó (). This improves visibility in low-light conditions.

3. A/C Weighting Selection

• The TS-501B supports both A-weighting and C-weighting.
• To switch between A-weighting and C-weighting, long press the ° C / ° F button. The selected weighting (A or C) will be displayed on the screen.
• Ponderació A: Measures noise levels as perceived by the human ear (30-130 dBA). Suitable for general noise measurements in communities, offices, and residential areas.
• Ponderació C: Measures the actual sound pressure level across a wider frequency range (30-130 dBC). Ideal for analyzing industrial noise, audio systems, and environments with significant low-frequency components.

Figura 4: A-Weighting (30-130 dBA) measures the relative loudness perceived by the human ear, suitable for environmental noise assessment.

Figura 5: C-Weighting (30-130 dBC) is used for sound system commissioning and industrial noise measurements, providing a flatter frequency response.

4. MAX/MIN Measurement

• Premeu el botó MAX/MIN botó () to cycle through Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) measured values.
• MÀXIM: Displays the highest sound pressure level recorded since the function was activated.
• MIN: Displays the lowest sound pressure level recorded since the function was activated.

Figura 6: MAX represents the highest values measured over a given period, while MIN represents the lowest values.

5. Funció de retenció de dades

• Per congelar la lectura actual a la pantalla, premeu la tecla Aguanta botó (). The "H" indicator will appear on the screen.
• Premeu el botó Aguanta button again to release the hold and resume live measurements.

6. Fast/Slow Time Weighting

• Premeu el botó F/S botó () to switch between Fast and Slow time weighting.
• RÀPID: Provides a rapid response to sound changes, suitable for capturing sudden noise peaks.
• LENT: Provides an averaged response to sound changes, suitable for measuring average noise levels over time.

7. Temperature Unit Conversion

• To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature display, short press the ° C / ° F botó.

8. Indicador de bateria baixa

• A low battery indicator will appear on the screen when the battery level is low. Replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate measurements.

Manteniment

• Neteja: Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar el dispositiu. No utilitzeu productes de neteja abrasius ni dissolvents.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the device in its carry case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Protecció del micròfon: Always use the provided microphone windscreen to protect the condenser microphone from dust and physical damage. When storing, use the protective cap over the microphone.
• Calibració: The device is factory calibrated. For continued accuracy, periodic professional calibration may be required depending on usage and industry standards.
