USER MANUAL

1 Introduction

To all residents of the European Union

Important environmental information about this product

This symbol on the device or the package indicates that

disposal of the device after its lifecycle could harm the

environment. Do not dispose of the unit (or batteries) as

unsorted municipal waste; it should be taken to a specialized

company for recycling. This device should be returned to

your distributor or to a local recycling service. Respect the local

environmental rules.

If in doubt, contact your local waste disposal authorities

Thank you for choosing the Velleman! Please read the manual

thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was

damaged in transit, don't install or use it and contact your dealer.

Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not

covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility

for any ensuing defects or problems.

This device combines the functions of sound level meter, light meter,

humidity meter and temperature meter and can be used both

professionally and at home.

The sound level function can be used to measure sound levels in

schools, offices, airports, etc. and to check the acoustics of

auditoriums, studios and hi-fi installations.

The light function is used to measure luminous intensity. The device

automatically compensates for the angle of incidence. The light-

sensitive component is a very stable long-life diode.

Measure temperatures using the built-in temperature-sensitive

semiconductor or the K-type thermocouple.

Perform relative humidity measurements with the built-in

semiconductor.

The humidity and temperature measuring function is for use a

humidity/semiconductor sensor and K-type thermocouple.

3 Overview

Refer to the illustration on page 2 of this manual.

1. LCD display: 3 ½-digit LCD. Displays a wide variety of units (Lux, x

1 Lux, °C, °F, %RH, dB, A, C, Lo, Hi) and also gives ‘BAT’, ‘MAX

HOLD’ and ‘DATA HOLD’ indications.

2. Power button: activates or deactivates the device

3. Select button: Used to select function and range

4. MAX HOLD: Press this button to hold the maximum reading. Press

again to release the reading and continue your measurements.

5. DATA HOLD: Press the HOLD button to hold a particular reading

and press it again to continue your measurements.

6. Function switch: Select temperature, humidity, sound level and

luminous intensity with this switch.

7. Microphone: built-in electret condenser microphone

8. Photo detector: long-life silicon photo diode is built in

9. Sensor for humidity measurements is built-in

1 .Temperature terminal: insert the temperature probe in this

terminal

4 Operation

a) Measuring Sound Levels

1. Place the function switch in the dB position.

2. Hold the microphone at a horizontal angle to the source to be

measured.

3. Press the SELECT button to select A & dB, C & dB, Lo & dB or Hi &

dB.

4. Both the A- and C-weighting curves have a frequency range

between 3 Hz and 1 kHz.

5. The fast response is ideal to measure short bursts of sound and

peak values.

6. The sound level is displayed.

Note: strong winds (> 1 m/sec.) can influence your measurements.

Use the included windscreen when this happens.

b) Measuring Light Levels

1. Place the function switch in the LUX-position

2. Hold the detector at a horizontal angle to the source to be

measured.

3. Press SELECT to select the range: 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 Lux.

4. Read the nominal value from the display.

5. The overrange indication (“1”) is displayed if the input signal

exceeds the range limit. Select a higher range.

6. Remove the photo detector from the light source when the

measurement is completed.

7. The spectral sensitivity of this device is very similar to the CIE curve

(International Commission on Illumination) depicted below:

c) Measuring Humidity

1. Place the function switch in the %RH position.

2. Read the measured value from the LCD.

3. The device needs a couple of minutes to catch up when the relative

humidity of the tested area changes.

d) Temperature Measurements

1. Place the function switch in the TEMP position.

2. Press the SELECT button to select .1°C or 1°C and 1°F or .1°F.

3. Read the measured value from the display.

4. Insert the K-type thermocouple in the appropriate socket.

5. Touch the target surface with the extremity of the temperature

sensor and read the measured temperatures from the LCD.

Attention: Be careful when the range selector is positioned on one of

the following ranges: .1°C, 1°C, .1°F or 1°F. Do not

attempt to make voltage measurements while the test leads

are connected with the K-type thermocouple socket.

Ignoring this warning may lead to personal injury or

damage to the device.

5 Maintenance

The battery should be replaced when “BAT” appears on the display.

Open the battery compartment, replace the old battery (1 x 9V-battery
