5. Operation Mains connection The testo 816 meter has an 8V mains connection for use with a mains unit (see Ordering data) 5.3 Measuring Sound waves can be reflected off walls, ceilings and other objects. Also the meter housing and the person measuring (if measuring incorrectly) are disturbing factors in the sound field and can lead to incorrect measurement results. - Page 12 5. Operation Absolute pressure dependency testo 816 is calibrated by default for measurements at a height of 0 m above sea level. Measurements at other heights give rise to measurement errors which can be corrected using a table (see technical data). Subtract the appropriate offset value from the value measured (e.g.

In this way, a level increase of 20 dB corresponds to a 10- fold increase in pressure. A sound level meter to EN 60651 measures the frequency weighted actual value of the sound level, it is a measure of the total sound energy converted during measurement time.
