Setup

1. Installazzjoni tal-batterija

1. Sib il-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-apparat.
2. Żerżaq l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija 'l isfel biex tiftaħu.
3. Daħħal tliet (3) batteriji AAA, waqt li tiżgura l-polarità korretta (+/-) kif indikat ġewwa l-kompartiment.
4. Agħlaq l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija billi tiżżerżaq 'il fuq sakemm tikklikkja f'postu.

2. Microphone Windscreen Attachment

• Gently slide the foam windscreen onto the microphone at the top of the device.
• Ensure the windscreen is securely fitted to prevent it from falling off during use.
• The windscreen helps to reduce wind noise and improve measurement accuracy, especially in outdoor environments.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

1. Power On/Off

• Biex tixgħel l-apparat, agħfas u żomm il-buttuna Qawwa buttuna () li tinsab fuq il-pannell ta' quddiem.
• Biex itfi l-apparat, agħfas u żomm il- Qawwa button again. The device also features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life.

2. Display u Backlight

• The 2.25-inch LCD screen displays noise levels in decibels (dB), along with temperature and relative humidity.
• To activate or deactivate the backlight, long press the Dawl ta' wara buttuna (). This improves visibility in low-light conditions.

3. Għażla tal-Ponderazzjoni tal-Kont Attiv

• The TS-501B supports both A-weighting and C-weighting.
• To switch between A-weighting and C-weighting, long press the ° C / ° F button. The selected weighting (A or C) will be displayed on the screen.
• Ponderazzjoni-A: Measures noise levels as perceived by the human ear (30-130 dBA). Suitable for general noise measurements in communities, offices, and residential areas.
• Ponderazzjoni-C: Measures the actual sound pressure level across a wider frequency range (30-130 dBC). Ideal for analyzing industrial noise, audio systems, and environments with significant low-frequency components.

Figura 4: A-Weighting (30-130 dBA) measures the relative loudness perceived by the human ear, suitable for environmental noise assessment.

Figura 5: C-Weighting (30-130 dBC) is used for sound system commissioning and industrial noise measurements, providing a flatter frequency response.

4. MAX/MIN Measurement

• Agħfas il- MAX/MIN buttuna () to cycle through Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) measured values.
• MAX: Displays the highest sound pressure level recorded since the function was activated.
• MIN: Displays the lowest sound pressure level recorded since the function was activated.

Figura 6: MAX represents the highest values measured over a given period, while MIN represents the lowest values.

5. Funzjoni ta' Żamma tad-Data

• Biex tiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej, agħfas il-buttuna Żomm buttuna (). The "H" indicator will appear on the screen.
• Agħfas il- Żomm button again to release the hold and resume live measurements.

6. Fast/Slow Time Weighting

• Agħfas il- F/S buttuna () to switch between Fast and Slow time weighting.
• MALAJR: Provides a rapid response to sound changes, suitable for capturing sudden noise peaks.
• Bil-mod: Provides an averaged response to sound changes, suitable for measuring average noise levels over time.

7. Temperature Unit Conversion

• To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature display, short press the ° C / ° F buttuna.

8. Indikatur tal-Batterija Baxxa

• A low battery indicator will appear on the screen when the battery level is low. Replace the batteries promptly to ensure accurate measurements.

Manutenzjoni

• Tindif: Uża drapp artab u niexef biex tnaddaf l-apparat. Tużax prodotti tat-tindif jew solventi li joborxu.
• Ħażna: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Store the device in its carry case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Protezzjoni tal-Mikrofonu: Always use the provided microphone windscreen to protect the condenser microphone from dust and physical damage. When storing, use the protective cap over the microphone.
• Kalibrazzjoni: The device is factory calibrated. For continued accuracy, periodic professional calibration may be required depending on usage and industry standards.
