Using the NM102 Sound Level Meter

The NM102 Noise Meter has been designed to be quick and easy to use. The auto-range feature means that you do not have to select the measurement range before making measurements, which is a problem with most sound level meters.

With this meter you just switch on and it starts measuring the "A" weighted, Fast Sound Level, which is ideal for most applications.

Main Buttons

A/C Switches between "A" weighting and "C" weighting. For more information on these visit our Frequency Weightings page.

Fast/Slow Switches between Fast time weighting and Slow time weighting. For more information please visit our Time Weightings page.

Hold Holds the sound level that is currently shown on the meter - freezes the display.
