L-AVG

The average or equivalent level for the HTL, LTL, or

LEQ

3 dB for the event.

DOSE

The percent Dose for the HTL, LTL, or 3 dB for the

 

event.

TWA

The Time Weighted Average for HTL or LTL or the

SEL

Sound Exposure Level for the event.

PEAK

The Peak Level for the event.

LEVEL

 

MAX

The Maximum Level for the event.

LEVEL

 

RUN

The Run Time of the event.

TIME

 

Setting the Clock

 

If the clock is not set, it functions as an elapsed time clock from the time the unit is reset.

 

The clock can be either a 12- or 24-hour clock depending on an internal switch.

 

When the clock is set to the current time, it will record the actual time for Events and Histograms.

CODE

Press until the display includes a colon. The display

HL3

is in hours and minutes. To set clock, press 0 and num-

 

bers for the current time. The time will move in from the right. The clock is not set until

 

PAUSE/RESET is pressed.

PAUSE

Resets the current time to the number in the display.

RESET

The display then shows CLo.

Recording the Calibration Level

 

The procedure does not calibrate the unit. It stores the CAL level to assure the unit was calibrated.

CODE

Press the key until CAL and the current calibration

HL3

level is displayed. To recalibrate the unit, press SOUND

 

LEVEL with the microphone inserted in a calibrator.

SOUND

The display will show SPL (the calibrator level). Wait

LEVEL

until the level is steady and press PAUSE/RESET.

 

If the unit is slightly out of calibration, gently adjust

 

the CAL screw. If the unit is more than a few decibels out of calibration, it should be

 

rechecked.

PAUSE

Resets the calibration level. Hold key down until the

RESET

display shows CAL.

Using a Printer

 

The printout (Figure 2) can include a heading, a summary of the data, event data, 1 to 3

histograms, 1 or 2 percent time statistical distributions, and 1 or 2 percent dose statistical distributions. The

histograms can be of 1, 3, 5, or 10-minute duration. The histograms and statistical distributions can be text,

graphical or both. The printout can be changed and edited before or during printing to print only desired

data. Data is not lost during a printout.

CODE

To print only HTL, LTL, or 3 dB histograms and statis-

HL3

tical distributions, hold key down until the one desired

 

is displayed. To print all 3, hold key down until all 3

 

are displayed.

PRINT

Prints heading, summary, events, and desired histo-

 

grams and distributions.

HIST 1

Prints 1-minute Histograms or 5 minutes per line. If

 

HTL, LTL, and 3 dB are displayed all 3 will be printed.

HIST 3

Prints 3-minute Histograms or 15 minutes per line.

HIST 5

Prints 5-minute Histograms or 30 minutes per line.

HIST 10

Prints 10-minute Histograms or 1 hour per line.

 

If HIST 1,3,5, or 10 is pressed during a printout, the next line will print with the new time base for

a clearer report.

STAT

Prints a % Time and a % Dose statistical distribution.

PAUSE

Pauses the printer to edit printout or adjust printer.

RESET

The display shows PSE. To continue printing, press

 

PAUSE again. Other print keys will alter the printout.

 

To conserve power do not leave PSE on the display.

 

ON/OFF will also exit print mode.

ON

Stops the printout. If the printer buffer contains data

OFF

the printer may run for several seconds after O-5 is

 

displayed; however, the printout has stopped.
