(1) Make the following switch settings.
Display: dBA
Time weighting: FAST
Measurement mode: MAX/MIN Mode function disabled
Level range: 50 to 100dB
(2) Insert the microphone housing carefully into the insertion hole of the calibrator.
(3) Turn on the calibrator and adjust the CAL potentiometer of the meter until the level display indicates the desired level. The meter is calibrated before shipment. We recommend recalibration annually.
VII . MEASUREMENT PREPARATION
(1) Battery Loading
Remove the battery cover on the back and install one 9V battery.
(2) Battery Replacement
When the battery voltage drops below that required for reliable operation, the low battery symbol will appear, indicating it is time to replace the battery.
(3) AC Adapter Connection
When using the AC adapter, insert the plug of the adapter into the DC9V connector on the side panel.
VIII. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
(1) Wind blowing across the microphone induces a significant amount of extraneous noise. When using the instrument in the presence of wind, install the windscreen to eliminate the pick up of undesirable signals.
(2) Calibrate the instrument before operation if the instrument has not been used for a long period of time.
(3) Do not store or operate the instrument in high temperature and high humidity environments.
(4) Keep the microphone dry and avoid severe vibration.
(5) Remove the battery from the instrument, and store in a low humidity environment when not in use.

IX. MEASUREMENT
(1) Open the battery cover and install a 9V battery in the battery compartment.
(2) Turn on power and select the desired response time and weighting. If the sound source consists of short bursts, or the meter is only catching sound peaks, set response to FAST. To measure average sound levels, use the
SLOW setting.
Select A-weighting for general noise sound level and C-weighting for measuring sounds with high low frequency content.
(3) Select desired level.
(4) Hold the instrument comfortably by hand or fix to a tripod using the tripod mount, and point the microphone at the suspected noise source. Read the sound pressure level from the display.
(5) When MAX/MIN (maximum/minimum hold) mode is chosen, the instrument captures and holds the maximum and minimum noise level values indefinitely. The MAX/MIN function operates on all settings regardless of the response time, frequency weighting, or range.
Press and hold the MAX/MIN button for two seconds to clear the MAX/MIN reading. The “MAX/MIN ” indicator will disappear.
(6) Turn OFF the instrument and remove the battery when not in use.

After the data is loaded, the left-hand column will show how many data sets were loaded and detailed information for each data set (start date, start time, recording rate and number of records).
When downloading is completed, the records from the first data set are automatically loaded into both the tabular list and plotted in the graphing area.
Click on any data set to change the set for graphing.
Tutorial - Quick Start to Using SE322 TestLink
(1.) Recording real time data in waveform display
1. Power on the Sound Level Meter first, and connect it to a PC RS-232 serial port wit the supplied cable (SE-300).
2.Start the SE322 program.

3. If the connection is successful, the panel will display the same value as the Sound Level Meter. If the connection between the meter and the
PC fails, the display will indicate "No Connection" on the panel window in
TestLink Se322 display.
4. When the connection is successful, click to start recording real time data. A waveform will be displayed on the Real Time Graph Window.
5. Click to stop recording.
(2.) Saving the recorded real time data to a file
1. Click the graph window which displays the data you want to save and the graph window will become active. Choose File | Save from the main menu or click from the tool bar.
2. A SAVE dialog window will be displayed where you can choose the file name and file type to save. There are three types of file types that can be saved — binary file (*.ghf), text file (*.txt) and a comma separated value
EXCEL format file (*.csv). The *.ghf file is a much more compact file format than the other two, but it can only be used in the TestLink SE322 program. The text file can be opened by TestLink SE322 and any other word processor program like Word, Notepad etc. The EXCEL format file can be opened by TestLink SE322 and Microsoft EXCEL.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I connected the Sound Level Meter to the PC serial port and turned
meter power on, but it still indicates "NO CONNECTION".
Answer:
All serial ports may be occupied by other applications. Close all other applications, and run the TestLink software again. If it still don't work, restart your computer and run TestLink SE322 again with no other applications running.
2. How can I save the graph to a file that can be used in EXCEL?
Answer:
When you save a graph to a file, the default file format is "*.ghf".
Select *.csv to save files in a format that can be opened in EXCEL.
3. How do I uninstall the TestLink SE322 software?
Answer:
Uninstall TestLink SE322 by launching the Add/Remove Program in the Control Panels. Highlight the SE322 and click on the Add/Remove... push button. The SE322 folder and files will be removed from your computer.
4. Why does loading data fail?
Answer:
Some notebook computers exhibit a response that is too slow. If this occurs, the data download will fail.
5. How do I zoom in on an area of the graph?
Answer:
Press the left mouse button and drag the cursor to drag a marquee around the area of interest, then release the mouse button.
6. When I setup the realtime sampling with a fast rate (eg. 0.1 sec),
some of the sampling data is lost.
Answer:
This might be caused by a slow response time of the PC.
