2. PREPARATION FOR USE 2.1. Initial The instrument has been checked mechanically and electrically prior to shipment. Take care to ensure the instrument reaches you undamaged. However, it is wise to carry out a rapid check in order to detect any possible damage that may cause during transport.
3. ST-106 INSTRUMENT INSTRUCTIONS 3.1. Instrument Description 3.1.1. Controls Description 1. Microphone 1A. Preamplifier. : Turns on the power (press a second more) or carries on the reset to the instrument. : Turn off. : Deletes the current measurement result.
3.2. Operation Instructions Pressing power button more than a second to start the instrument, enters to initial list display for mode. Select key, “Measure” (refer to chapter 3.3) or mode “Calibrate” (refer to chapter 3.4), press key for making measurement or calibration. If it’s mistake in selection, may press the key to return to the initial list display.
When enters the measurement mode according to chapter 3.2 operations, may press down the key to change 3 kind of display pages, sound pressure level Page0, integrating measurement Page1, manual “big font display” measurement mode: Page2, Total: 3 kind of display modes, and may press the key to watch 3 kind of display modes repeatedly as necessary, 3 kind of display modes measurement are operate, simultaneously, including the integrating measurement, when presses down the...
3.3.2. Integrating Measurement (Page1) Fig. 6 1. When chooses Page1 to set up integrating measurement time "Ts" firstly: press the key, to set up measuring time, (refer to Fig. 6) , the “Ts” integration time is setup, press key, the integrating measurement can be change from 10 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours, 24 hours, manual is the measurement time in “00h00m00s”, when turn off the power it will automatically store the setting value.
3.3.3. Big Font Measurement Manual Optional Item (Page2) Fig. 7 This mode provides two kinds of big font values, the user may press key, the cursor can be changed in "LAFi ", "LCFp", "LAFp". The cursor is in "LAFi" icon, presses key to be changes the analog bargraph measuring mode.

3.3.5. Input Interface The front is X9-6z, the signal input receptacle. The pin definition and function are shown in Fig. 8: Pin 1 Power supply Pin 2 Null Pin 3 Signal input Pin 4 Null Pin 5 Signal ground Pin 6 Null Fig.
The item 2 is the microphone’s free field correction, which is set according to the microphone’s type. The ST-106 Sound Level Meter uses 1/2" free field microphone, its correction between sound pressure field and free field is 0.15 dB at the frequency of 1 kHz.
3.4.2. Acoustical Calibration With ST-110 Fig. 12 1. For the first acoustical calibration, set "calibrator sound pressure level" according to the calibration certificate of ST-110 Sound Level Calibrator. In general, the sound pressure level of the sound level calibrator is 94.0 dB, when the measured sound pressure level is not 94.0 dB, please calibrate it by the actual result, for example, if 94.2 dB, please modify the item 4.
3. Move the cursor to “ App” icon and press key, the microphone’s new sensitivity level is stored. After the storage, Up-SPL and Under-SPL will be renewed and displayed the upper and lower limits of the scope after the adjustment. If the difference is more than 3 dB between the new and stored sensitivity-values, the instrument will not store the value, and the LCD display prompts “...
3.4.4. View Calibration Record Fig. 14 The user can read the calibration record, move cursor to "LIST" icon and press key to enter the calibration’s record data frame, If the data is more than 9 records, you can press to go to the previous or next page. The instrument will store the record each 、...
4. ST-110 SOUND LEVEL CALIBRATOR’S DESCRIPTION (OPTIONAL) 4.1. Introduction The ST-110, Sound Level Calibrator, is used for the calibration of the pressure sensitivity of the microphone and sound level measuring equipment. The design of ST-110 is based on a feedback arrangement to ensure a high stable sound pressure level. The performance is very stable;...
4.5. Calibration And Adjustment If calibration out of specification, you can calibrate and adjustment it: 1. Unscrew completely the metal silver battery cover. 2. Uses a small screw driver trimming interior variable resistor until attain a designated standard the accurate 94dB normal value. CAUTION When verification should use the pressure field response laboratory scale microphone as well as the precision measurement amplifier carries on the...
