Measurement Considerations

1. Wind blowing across the microphone increases the noise measurement. Use the supplied

windscreen to cover the microphone when applicable.

2. Calibrate the instrument before each use if possible. Especially if the meter has not been

used for a long period of time.

3. Do not store or operate the instrument in areas of high temperature or humidity.

4. Keep meter and microphone dry.

5. Avoid severe vibration.

6. Remove the battery when the meter is to be stored for long periods of time.

Operation

1. Power the meter by pressing the power button. The meter will begin displaying sound

level readings. If the LCD does not switch on, check the batteries located in the rear battery

compartment.

2. Hold the meter in hand facing the microphone toward the source of the sound to be

measured.

3. View the measurement on the meter’s LCD

‘A’ and ‘C’ Frequency Weighting

Press the A/C button to select A or C frequency weighting. The A or C icon will appear in the

display to indicate the weighting selected.

With ‘A’ weighting selected, the frequency response of the meter is similar to the response of

the human ear. ‘A’ weighting is commonly used for environmental or hearing conservation

programs such as OSHA regulatory testing and noise ordinance law enforcement. ‘C’ weighting is

a much flatter response and is suitable for the sound level analysis of machines, engines, etc.

Most noise measurements are performed using 'A' Weighting and FAST Response.

‘FAST’ and ‘SLOW’ Time Weighting

Use the button to select FAST (125 ms) or SLOW (1 second) time weighting. The For Sicon

will appear in the display as selected.

Select FAST to capture noise peaks and noises that occur very quickly. Select the SLOW response

to monitor a sound source that has a consistent noise level or to average quickly changing levels.

Select FAST response for most applications.

Data Hold

To freeze a displayed reading, press the Hbutton. The Hicon will appear and the most recent

reading will appear in the display. Press the Hbutton to exit the mode and return to normal

operation

Backlight

The LCD is equipped with backlighting for easier viewing, especially in dimly lit areas. Press the

backlight button to turn the backlight on. The backlight will automatically turn off after 10

seconds.

Peak Hold

The Peak mode is used to capture and hold the peak sound level measurement.

1. Press the ▼SET/PEAK button to enable the peak capture mode. The peak icon will

appear on the display.

2. The meter will now display the highest peak reading during the measurement period.

3. Press the ▼SET/PEAK button to exit the peak capture mode

MAX-MIN Recording

In this mode, the meter records the maximum and minimum values over time.

Note: A/C, Fast/Slow, Hold and the Power buttons are not operational in the Record mode.

1. Short press the Rbutton to enter the Record mode. The record icon will appear on the

display. The maximum and minimum values will be recorded and updated during the

measurement period.

2. Short press the Rbutton to stop the Max-Min recording. The icon and the MAX value

that occurred during the recording period will be displayed.

3. Short press the Rbutton to display the icon and the MIN value that occurred during the

recording measurement period.

4. Short press the Hbutton to clear the memory and start a new max/min measurement

period.

5. Long press the Rbutton to exit the record mode.

Auto Power OFF (APO)

In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically shut off after approximately 10

minutes of inactivity. The APO icon is active in the display when APO is selected.

To turn APO ON or OFF as the default condition:

1. Press and Hold the ▼ button for 2 seconds. The yes or no icon will appear:

2. Press the ▲button to turn the APO ON (YES) or press the ▼button to turn the APO OFF

(NO).

3. Press the Rbutton to save the selection.

4. Short press the power button or wait approximately 10 seconds for the meter to return to

normal operation.

Note: APO is not operational in the Record mode.

Calibration

To calibrate the SL510, an external calibrator that can provide a 94.0dB signal at 1 kHz is required.

1. Turn the meter ON

2. Put the meter in the ‘A’ weighting mode.

3. Put the meter in the ‘FAST response mode.

4. Place the microphone into the calibrator. Set the calibrator to

output a 1kHz sine wave @ 94dB.

5. When the reading is stable, simultaneously press and hold the A/C

and Fast/Slow buttons until a second lower dB display appears.

6. Press the ▼or ▲buttons to adjust the upper display to match the

calibrator output (94.0dB).

7. Press the Rbutton to save the calibration and return to normal operation.
