Návod k obsluze

1. Zapnutí/vypnutí

  • Chcete-li zařízení zapnout, stiskněte a podržte tlačítko Moc tlačítko (Ikona tlačítka napájení) located on the front panel.
  • Chcete-li zařízení vypnout, stiskněte a podržte tlačítko Moc button again. The device also features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life.

2. Displej a podsvícení

  • 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 Podsvícení tlačítko (Ikona tlačítka podsvícení). This improves visibility in low-light conditions.

3. A/C Weighting Selection

  • 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.
  • A-Weighting: Measures noise levels as perceived by the human ear (30-130 dBA). Suitable for general noise measurements in communities, offices, and residential areas.
  • C-Weighting: 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.
