UNI-T UT351, 352 Sound Level Meter Instruction Manual

UNI-T UT351, 352 Sound Level Meter

Overview

The Sound Level Meter Model UT351 and UT352 (hereafter referred to as the Meter) is a stable, safe, and reliable sound level meter. The Meter is suitable for use in noise control, quality control, health care, and all different kinds of environmental noise testing. For example, factories, roads, families, musical instruments, and all kinds of places that need noise testing.

Unpacking Inspection

Open the package case and take out the Meter. Check the following items carefully to see any missing or damaged parts:

In the event you find any missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately.

Rules For Safe Operation

1. Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage, and accident.
2. Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it has been used for some time, and replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking battery will damage the Meter.

Measurement Operation and Functional Buttons

Press and hold for around 1 second to turn the Meter off. HOLD
feature: During sound measurement, press once to freeze the current
reading in the display. Press the button again to resume normal
operation.
A/C| During sound measurement, press the A/C button to select A or C
frequency weighting. With A weighting selected, the frequency
response of the Meter is similar to the response of the human ear.
Weighting is commonly used for environmental or hearing
conservation.

In the event you find any missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately.

Rules For Safe Operation

• Before using the Meter inspect the case and accessories. Do not use the Meter if it is damaged, LCD cannot display, the case (or part of the case) is removed or you consider the Meter does not work properly. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
• When using the Meter, must follow the instruction manual.
• The internal circuit of the Meter shall not be altered at will to avoid damage of the Meter and any accident.
• Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears.
• Turn the Meter power off when it is not in use and take out the battery when not using for a long time.
• Do not use or store the Meter in an environment of high temperature, humidity, explosive, inflammable and strong magnetic field. The performance of the Meter may deteriorate after being dampened.

• Soft cloth and mild detergent should be used to clean the surface of the Meter when servicing. No abrasive and solvent should be used to prevent the surface of the Meter from corrosion, damage and accident.
• Constantly check the battery as it may leak when it has been using for some time, replace the battery as soon as leaking appears. A leaking battery will damage the Meter.

Measurement Operation and Functional Buttons
The below table indicated information about the functional  button operations

hold for around 1 second to turn the Meter off. HOLD feature: During sound measurement, press once to freeze the current reading in the display. Press the button again to resume normal operation.
A/C| During sound measurement, press

A/C button to select “A” or “C” frequency weighting. 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 ‘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 SLOW Response.

For the Model UT352, pressing the A/C button also could recall and clear data:

RECALL:

Press and hold this button, the LCD displays the last data stored and the index number.

Press the button to recall additional stored readings.

Press the button to exit the RECALL mode

CLR:

Press and hold A/C button when turning on the Meter until the LCD displays CLR and RECORD. All the data stored will be cleared.

The Meter is default to auto ranging. Press LEVEL button to switch to manual ranging. Press button to toggle from

low to high range or from high to low

range. Press and hold LEVEL button to exit the manual ranging mode.

FAST/ SLOW| Press to select a FAST (125ms) or a LOW (1 second) response time. Select FAST to capture noise peaks and noises that occur very quickly. Select the LOW response to monitor a sound source that has a consistent noise level or to average quickly changing levels. Select LOW response for most applications.

Press and hold the FAST/SLOW button to enable the display backlight. Press and hold FAST/SLOW button again to disable the display backlight.

For UT352, press the FAST/SLOW button to store data:

Press the HOLD button to freeze data, the LCD displays HOLD and M symbol and the data being stored.

Press FAST/SLOW to store the data, the symbol RECORD and the number of index blink for 0.5 seconds.

The Meter will automatically exit HOLD mode.

The Meter can store up to 63 data.

MAX/ MIN| Press MAX/MIN to display the maximum or minimum reading. The display

will update only when the measured value exceeds the value present in the display. Press the MAX/MIN button and the MAX icon will display on the reading. The reading displayed is the highest reading encountered

since the MAX mode was entered.

The read ing displayed is the lowest reading encountered since the MIN mode was entered.

Press the MAX/MIN button again to exit the MAX/MIN display mode

Press and hold MAX/MIN button to disable or enable auto power off feature. The Meter will automatically off after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity.

The icon display indicates that the auto power off feature is active.

Calibration (see Figure 4)

1. Turn the Meter on.
2. Put the Meter in the “A” weighting mode, FAST response mode, range set to 60~110dB, lock to MAX.
3. Place the microphone onto the calibrator’s 1/2 inches sound source hole.
4. Turn the calibrator on, using a 94dB@1kHz standard sound source.
5. Adjust the Meter’s CAL potentiometer located on the side panel until the LCD displays 94.0dB
