Change the Response Time by pressing the 'FAST/SLOW/IMPULSE' button. The 'FAST' 'SLOW'

or IMP icon will display.

Note: Select FAST to capture noises that occur very quickly. In FAST mode, the meter

responds in 125ms. Select the SLOW Mode (meter responds in 1s) to monitor a sound

source that has a reasonably consistent noise level or to average quickly changing levels. In

IMPULSE mode the meter responds in 35ms and is used to capture the rms value of

repetitive impulse noises.Selection of Fast or Slow is determined by the application and any

directives or standards related to that application. Most hearing conservation related testing is

performed using a SLOW Response Time setting.

5. Hold the instrument comfortably in hand and away from your body or position it on a tripod. Point

the microphone toward the noise source, the sound pressure level will be displayed on the

meter’s LCD display.

acoustical calibrator such as the Extech Model 407766 or 407744.

1. Configure the meter as follows:

•Display: SPL (dBA) “A” weighting.

•Time weighting mode: FAST

•Measurement mode: INST

2. Insert the 407780 microphone into the opening of the acoustical calibrator.

3. Adjust the 407780 calibration potentiometer until the 407780 display matches

the acoustical calibrator output signal (typically 94).

Maintenance & Cleaning

Service not covered in this manual should be performed by qualified personnel

Periodically wipe the case with a dry cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Analog output

The 407780 has two analog output jacks located on its right side; one for AC and one for DC. For DC,

the meter transmits 10mv / dB. For AC the full scale value is 0.707V. The output impedance is 600

for AC and 100for DC.

The supplied 3.5mm stereo mini-plug can be used to assemble a cable to connect to either of the

meter’s analog output jacks. When using a stereo plug, like the one supplied, short the Tip and the

Ring (see diagram below). Ground (negative) connects to the Sleeve while the positive signal is taken

from the Tip/Ring. For mono plugs, ground connects to the Sleeve while the positive signal is taken

from the Tip. The meter output can then be transmitted to a headset, chart recorder, datalogger, or

other data storage device.
